Ordnance Teams crew some of the largest human-portable weapons fielded by the Astra Militarum. From bombast field guns that lob heavy shells over buildings and intervening squads, to the barrage of warheads fired from malleus rocket launchers, or the searing energy lances unleashed by heavy lascannons, these Field Ordnance Batteries are powerful assets to any general.
Each Ordnance Team features a gunner and two spotters or loaders, crewing of heavy gun – a wide-saturation malleus rocket launcher, indirect-firing bombast field gun, or vehicle-pounding heavy lascannon. The spotters and loaders are also armed with lasguns and frag grenades.
Additional information
Field Ordnance Batteries, are large man-portable wheeled artillery pieces used by the Astra Militarum, equipped with either a Bombast Cannon, a Mallus Rocket Launcher, or Heavy Lascannons.
Field ordnance batteries are deployed in vast numbers by many siege regiments, providing a bedrock of long-range and powerful weapons that most of the regiment's infantry are denied.
Such batteries may be seconded to other regiments as well; added to lighter infantry regiments, they usually operate as the heaviest firepower available, while amongst dedicated artillery regiments, their smaller footprint and silhouette enable them to deploy in dense terrain impassable to larger artillery tanks.
The batteries component ordnance teams usually comprise a gunner, loader and gunnery sergeant or junior artillery officer, who together crew the artillery piece, and are each equipped with a lasgun.
