==Artillery Guns== ===Thunder-Fire Cannon=== [[File:Thunder-FireCannon.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Thunder'''-Fire''' Cannon]] ''Not to be confused with the SPESS MEHREEN's [[Thunderfire Cannon]]. For the full page, [[Thunder-Fire Cannon|see here.]]'' The actual cannon of the Thunder-Fire Cannon (Jeez, a bit of deja vu here?). The Thunder-Fire Cannon was the foremost first line of defense for the [[Squat]] homeworlds and possibly the second largest artillery right next to the Goliath Mega-Cannon. Seriously, it might be [[Epic]], but those are fucking big guns capable of firing fucking big shells from quite a considerable (and fucking big) distance. Just to give you an idea on how ridiculous Squat artillery is. The Thunder-Fire Cannon is a ''[[Lolwut|supporting artillery piece]]'' meant to provide backup for the Goliath Mega-Cannon. Oh yes, [[Lulz|an artillery piece supporting a even ''BIGGER'' artillery piece.]] As you can imagine, these things are triple-barrelled, kind of like the more mobile but smaller Dominus Triple Bombard. The Thunder-Fire Cannon in itself is always seen mounted as a static piece of artillery. So we ain't completely sure if it can be mounted on a mobile platform, although it wouldn't really surprise us granted that these ''are'' the Squats we are talking about here. ===Goliath Mega-Cannon=== [[File:GoliathCannon.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Goliath Mega-Cannon]] ''For the actual vehicle itself, [[Goliath Mega-Cannon|see here.]]'' A hilariously [[Dick|phallic]] weapon made by [[Squats|They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named]]. The Goliath Mega-Cannon, both the gun ''and'' [[Goliath Mega-Cannon|the vehicle]] (Don't tell us why they decided to name both weapon and vehicle the same) is one of the largest artillery pieces ever known and fielded. Basically each shell weighed several tons and was powerful enough to shatter entire fortifications and turn a fleet of Baneblades inside out. These motherfuckers were the Schwerer Gustav in all but name. Curiously, the gun never really needed any shock absorbers to control the immense recoil. However it could be that the Goliath Mega-Cannon (The vehicle, not the gun) doesn't need one as the vehicle's own base ''is'' the gun's base. The power of the Goliath means that each cannon fires its own barrage template. A Goliath attack is worth four barrage points plus the roll of a D6, giving a score between 5 and 10. The super heavy shells fired by the Goliath are so good at reducing fortifications to rubble that it ignores hit modifiers for cover altogether. The Goliath lobs its shells high into the air to achieve its mammoth range, but it can't depress its barrel to hit a very close target. This means a Goliath can't shoot at targets closer than 50cm, so it has a min range of 50cm. They also don't have any self-defense secondary weapons so you need a few Thunder-Fire Cannons to offer cover support and picking off any units near the Goliath. Of course, all of these rules are now outdated. But it is pretty cool to see the power it once had. {{Clear}} ===Thunderer Cannon=== [[File:Thunderer_Cannon.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Thunderer Cannon]] Not to be confused with the [[Thunderer Siege Tank|Thunderer Siege Tank of Leman Russ fame]]. The Thunderer Cannon is a giant FUCKOFF cannon and one of the largest form of ordnance known on land. This cannon is one of the primary weapons of the [[Squat]] [[Colossus War Machine]] and the shells of which, is powerful enough to [[Fist of the North Star|cause nearby mountains to suffer critical existence failure in the form of giant mud slides.]] Seriously, just look at that [[Anal Circumference|''bore size'']] and translate that to the size of the vehicle itself. The Thunderer Cannon acts as a giant artillery gun meant to deal with squadrons of superheavies and Titans rather than infantry and tanks. This is due to the placement of the Thunderer as well as the fact that it is not mounted on a turret, suggesting that the entire superstructure of the Colossus' 'tower' is reinforced, so as to properly handle the ridiculous recoil of this big stick of death. Because of its placement and function, it is likely that the Thunderer Cannon was the basis for the Behemoth Cannon. {{40k-Squat-Weapons}}
