	The weapon received its nickname from the distinctive and rhythmic "thud" sound produced as each barrel fires in rapid succession. More commonly used by the Imperial Guard and the Squats in the past, the heavy quad-launcher has been largely relegated to Siege Regiments and garrison forces. The mobile weapon was employed during the [[Horus Heresy]] in defense of the Imperial Palace and has seen recent use in the Badab War as well as the Tyrannic Wars.

	Essentially four Mortars mounted on a single weapons carriage, the Heavy Quad-Launcher boasts a high rate of fire as previously mentioned, that makes it an excellent suppression weapon and in a direct-fire role against enemy infantry. One of its primary drawbacks however is the long reload time after all four barrels have been fired, requiring the loader to hand-crank the breech ~~close~~ in order to feed in a new round for each barrel. The launcher also lacks the range of heavier Imperial Guard artillery, limiting its viability in the counter-battery role.
