Stormsword Siege Cannon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Stormsword Siege Cannon is the main weapon of the Imperial Guard Stormsword Super Heavy Tank.[1]
The Stormsword Siege Cannon fires rocket-propelled siege shells,[1] each weighing more than 180kg.[2] These shells detonate with a vast concussive force.[3] While sufficiently powerful to level an entire building with a single shot, typically by destroying the ground floor and collapsing the structure, the weapon's limited range and restricted elevation severely limits its utility on the open battlefield.[1] Therefore, the gunnery crew of a Stormsword are specifically trained to fire through the ground floor, so that the enemy target is buried under a collapsing building or swallowed by a newly formed vast crater.[3]
