Hydras provide the Imperial army with effective anti-aircraft capability. They are often used in conjuction with a pair of Thunderbolts to gain air superiority.
Unit Type: Vehicle
Heavy AA Platform
The Heavy AA platform is an immobile artillery gun that can target enemy aircraft at considerable range. It can also be used to destroy infantry and armour.
Griffon
The Imperial Guard Griffon is a relatively short ranged mobile artillery gun. Its Heavy Mortar lobs shells in a high arc, enabling the vehicle to fire from behind cover.
Götterdämmerung Howitzer
Götterdämmerung Howitzers are long range artillery guns. They are immobile, but can be towed into position by a Bruenhilde if required.
Earthshaker Platform
The Imperial Guard Earthshaker Platform is a stationary artillery gun with an extremely long range. It lobs shells in a high arc, and does not need line of sight to its target.
Deathstrike
The Deathstrike Missile Launcher is a one shot weapon with a huge payload. It is best used against Titans and other War Engines, where it has the potential to destroy many times its own points value.
Chimera
The Chimera is a mainstay of many Imperial Guard armies. They are cheap and reasonably well armed, and can be present in significant numbers.
Bombard
The Imperial Guard Bombard is a mobile artillery gun with a huge bore. Its shot will obliterate any cover the enemy maybe hiding in, but it does have a long reload time.
Basilisk
The Basilisk is a mainstay of many Imperial Guard armies. It can pound enemy lines from afar, and its Earthshaker gun will make short work of destroying infantry or armoured vehicles.
Hellhound
The Hellhound is designed for flushing out entrenched infantry. It has no anti-armour capability, and should not be left isolated from its support.
