A Land Train comprises a huge '''Engine''' annd a number of smaller tracked carriages called '''Battlecars'''{{Fn|1b}}.
Both engine and cars are immensely armored armoured all-around. The locomotive is also fitted with a pair of [[Void Shield]]s forming a bubble around the entire train, with the generators in each car providing enough power to raise another one.
Every battlecar is an independent vehicle with its own computer brain, able to move freely, albeit at a slower pace, without the assistance of the engine. Once linked together they're controlled from the locomotive.
The engine is armed with a gigantic [[Doomsday Cannon]] and two heavy [[Battlecannon]]s, all front facing, as well as numerous bolt weapons for self-defense.
*'''Fire Shield''' battlecars are equipped with an mere autocannon turret. They are however filled with three additional Void shields generators and repair facilities{{Fn|1b}}
*'''Iron Eagle''' battlecars carry an [[Iron Eagle Gyrocopter]] fitted with a data-link, that acts as an artillery observer{{Fn|2}}
*'''Mortar''' battlecars consist in a heavy Siege Mortar similar to the [[Colossus Bombard|Colossus']], benefiting from the stable platform that is the armored armoured train{{Fn|1b}}
*'''Skyhammer''' battlecars are dedicated to flyer defense. They carry advanced [[Ack-Ack Missile]]s, an advanced system able to lock onto fast moving targets and see through even advanced countermeasures like that of the [[Eldar]] [[Nightwing]]{{Fn|2}}
