Talk:Bombard

Is it based on the Chimera or the Leman Russ? The wiki is inconsistent on this point.

Actually, earlier than the Epic 40,000 game, the Space Marine (game) Bombard[1] had tracks shaped like those in the Leman Russ[2], but longer in back. —Archlords 03:18, 13 October 2007 (CEST)

In the 5th edition Imperial Guard codex, this vehicle is listed as a Colossus. p53 --Rye 16:03, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Seeing as the main weapon when mounted on different hulls is called different things, and the Colossus doesn't have a page to itself, might it be an idea to just stick a note about the Colossus hull in the hull section to avoid confusion, or would a seperate page for the Colossus be better-ie with a note somewhere stating that the heavy mortar is also commonly mounted on the Leman Russ chasis, in which case it takes the form of the Bombard Siege Tank?

As of 5th ed., it is called the "Colossus". Commisar Gegnillum 13:09, 16 March 2011 (CET)

...Uh, no there's the one in the 5th ed guard codex that mounts a Heavy Siege Mortar thing, and a another tank in the Imperial Armour books-of which a good few that contain the bombard rules were released after said codex. So yeah, other than GW just being a little cheap, fluff wise the Bombard and Collossus can be considered different tanks-there's still a minature for the Bombard, but no Chimera variant Collossus out there...

Colossus

• And now we have this page in the 2nd edition of the IA vol 1, wo the same model is named "Colossus" and the bombard no more used. Should we add this conflict in the note section?. See Colossus (Tank).
• Shouldn't the two articles be merged? --Ackheron 21:26, 15 June 2013 (CEST)

Don't think merging is good. A section about the conflict which is included on both pages is better. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 18:47, 17 June 2013 (CEST)
