Field Ordnance Battery
Field Ordnance Batteries, are large man-portable wheeled artillery pieces used by the Astra Militarum, equipped with either a Bombast Cannon, a Mallus Rocket Launcher, or Heavy Lascannons.[1a]
Description
Field ordnance batteries are deployed in vast numbers by many siege regiments, providing a bedrock of long-range and powerful weapons that most of the regiment's infantry are denied.[1a]
Such batteries may be seconded to other regiments as well; added to lighter infantry regiments, they usually operate as the heaviest firepower available, while amongst dedicated artillery regiments, their smaller footprint and silhouette enable them to deploy in dense terrain impassable to larger artillery tanks.[1a]
Ordnance Team
The batteries' component ordnance teams usually comprise a gunner, loader and gunnery sergeant or junior artillery officer, who together crew the artillery piece,[1a] and are each equipped with a lasgun.[1b]
