Cities of Sigmar – Ironweld Great Cannon
3" 6 4+ 2 The massive artillery piece known as the Ironweld Great Cannon is painstakingly engineered to strike a balance between speed of loading and raw firepower. Breech-loaded, the cannon is a hive of activity when battle is joined, its winch arm swinging to and fro as each new cannonball or shell clunks into place and its elevation adjusted by lever-and-cogtooth to optimise range and impact. No few of these munitions are inscribed with litanies to banish the gheist and the daemon. Those cannons likely to face a massed attack are loaded with loose cylinders of grapeshot that come apart on firing to send a roaring, shredding storm of firepower into the enemy.
When the cannons are wheeled into place, they are stabilised by stout harnesses of leather and iron that pin them down into the earth. Hinged shields are unfolded to bracket the cannon’s chassis – if all else fails, it can be used as a battering ram. When several of these cannons are placed together, wing-shields abutted and crews working in coordination, the storm of firepower they can lay down is enough to fell a stampede of megafauna or a charging wave of orruks with each ear-splitting, tooth-rattling volley. | ||

7.0 Combat Range
Each model has a combat range that extends 3" horizontally from its base and any distance vertically from that circle to form a cylinder. The combat range of a unit extends 3" horizontally and any distance vertically from every model in that unit. Units from opposing armies that are within each other’s combat range and that are visible to each other are in combat with each other.
