| Land Trains are war machines composed of an engine and several weapons-mounted cars. They were built and maintained by the Squat's Engineers Guild, a group which provided the best weapons used in the [[Squat]] armies.

| Each Land Train has an individual name which pertains to its past exploits or the Stronghold it originates from, examples include the Hammer of Bruggen, Pride of Imbach and Gotrek's Anvil. The colors of a Land Train reflect both the Strongholds traditional color scheme and the colors of the Engineers Lodge in the Stronghold. Stylized ancestor masks are used as common form of decoration along with Squat runes and complex, intertwining designs.

| ==History==
| |
| The war machines have their origins in the vast multi-tracked machines which the Squats used to tow powered track-cars of ore, food and other supplies across the harsh, rocky, inhospitable terrain separating the vast Strongholds of their Homeworld planets. The trains were armored to endure the earthquakes, meteor showers and violent storms wracking their planets. Such defenses allowed the trains to easily withstand most enemy fire.

| | |
| Land Trains were later used by the Squats as mobile fortresses, the cars mounting a variety of destructive weapons.
