While many regiments will have a mix of other artillery, including [[Manticore (Tank)|Manticore]]s, [[Griffon]]s and [[Colossus Bombard]]s, and each one will have its own role to fill, it is the Basilisk which is the most common and most often to be called upon to bombard the enemy. These self-propelled artillery pieces are most effective when used in massive batteries of hundreds of guns to deliver devastating barrages on the enemy's position, while their mobility allows them to keep pace with infantry advances.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}} This indirect fire will be directed by their parent [[Astra Militarum Company|company's]] forward observers or other [[officer]]s trained to direct artillery,{{Fn|3}} and while not particularly accurate it allows the Basilisk to remain out of harms way as it blasts concealed enemy positions or fortifications from long range.{{Fn|2a}} Besides these sustained bombardments the power and range of the Earthshaker Cannon allows for other type of artillery missions: counter-battery fire to suppress enemy guns, box barrages to isolate enemy units and prevent their reinforcement, harassing fire, and destructive fire of selected targets.{{Fn|5}} Most missions use high explosive rounds, but to Basilisks are often issued other more specialized rounds, such as smoke shells, incendary shells and illumination shells for lighting up a battlefield at night.{{Fn|3}}
