As a former soldier, I look at the various artillery units of Astra Militarum and and asked if they are realistic or not. Clearly Warhammer 40k is a fictional universe however it is still interesting to understand if it would actually work on the battlefield!

I review the mortar team, Earthshaker and Medusa carriage batteries, Bombast field gun, Basilisk, Manticore, Collus Bombard and Praeter Launcher.
