Support Weapon Battery
A Support Weapon Battery, also known as Vaul's Wrath,[3] is an Eldar heavy weapons team consisting of one to three large Grav Platforms which mount either D-Cannons, Vibro Cannons or Shadow Weavers.[1]
Overview
Crewed by experienced Guardians,[4] these batteries are often used when a force is advancing or to form a solid defensive line. Unlike the crude field artillery of the Imperium or Orks, these sleek platforms are graceful and silent.[4] While they must be stationary in order to fire, these units provide tremendous firepower to the Eldar and use advanced targeting arrays for pinpoint accuracy against even well-hidden foes. Two Guardians operate each platform, and some batteries will be joined by a Warlock during battle.[1][2]
