[[Image:Earthshakerstore.jpg|right|thumb|Earthshaker Plataform]]

Each '''Earthshaker Platform''' mounts the same [[Earthshaker (Cannon)|Earthshaker Cannon]] found on a [[Basilisk]], on a standard cruciform platform. They are one of the most common weapons used in artillery companies, especially during prolonged static campaigns where they can stay in the same position for weeks battering the enemy. Normally dug-in far to the rear, on occasion an Earthshaker will be brought forward for direct fire in support of friendly forces. Each one is crewed by a team of five Guardsmen in order to keep up a good rate of fire; in a pinch a minimum crew of four can suffice, although this is less than ideal. Only the [[Trojan]] support vehicle is powerful enough to tow this platform into position.{{Fn|1}} Each Earthshaker Platform normally has its own Trojan to move it, and also to carry extra ammunition during the prolonged fire missions.{{Fn|5a}} Using standard 5 powder charges, the Earthshaker can reach out to approximately 16 km with a 38 kg shell.{{Fn|1}}
