Editing Mammoth-class Land Train (section)

== Weaponry ==

A Land Train comprises a huge, armored engine which tows behind it a number of smaller tracked 'carriages' called Battlecars. The Land Train engine mounts two heavy battlecannons and a monstrously destructive Doomsday Cannon as well as numerous bolters. The Battlecars are split into a few variations: 

The '''Mortar Battlecars''' mount a large barrage weapon called a [[Colossus Siege Mortar|Siege Mortar]]. The Siege Mortar fires heavy shells capable of bursting apart heavy tanks or destroying buildings. The Siege Mortar is also found on the [[Colossus Bombard|Imperial Bombard]] but the Land Train benefits for having a higher rate of fire.

The next variation is called the '''Dragon Battlecars''' which carries a large, [[Heavy Flamer|heavy flamer]] which is useful for clearing out tunnels, caves, buildings and entrenchments and bathing swathes of infantry in Prometheum.

The next Battlecar is the '''Berserker Battlecars''' which have a crenelated battlement and an [[autocannon]] mounted in a turret, as well as numerous firing slits. It is called that because it carries a unit of [[Squat Berserkers]].

The last one is the '''Bomb Battlecars''' which carries a single large missile armed with a high yield rad-bomb (A nuke basically). It is a one shot weapon, but like the [[Deathstrike Missile Launcher]], it only needs one shot to annihilate an entire army.

In Citadel Journal #14, there was three more specialized Battlecar variants. These are:

The '''Fire Shield Battlecars''' which as its name implies, holds little weaponry. It mounts only one [[autocannon]] and an array of [[Imperial Boltgun|bolters]], but its main use is that it's filled with additional void shield generators giving the Land Train further protection.

The second type is the '''Skyhammer Battlecars''', which provides protection from enemy flyers. As such, it mounts a technologically advanced missile system, which is able to lock-on to enemy aircraft with relative ease.

The last variant is the '''Iron Eagle Battlecars''' which makes the Land Train a Helicopter Landing Dock on land. As its namesake implies, it hosts a [[Iron Eagle Gyrocopter]] which can be used to spot for the Land Train. The Gyrocopter maintains a constant data-ink with the Land Train's fire control centers so when the Land Train fires its weapons, it can make the attack using the Iron Eagle's line of sight if it wishes.

It is also protected by two Void Shields, if one of the Battlecars is destroyed the Squat player is allowed to give the two halves of the Train separate orders as each Battlecar is an independently functioning vehicle.
