I have an apocalypse game coming up and was thinking about taking one, however I don't know much about them, what is its main purpose in games? or is it just used to bring 50 guardsmen into an area? Also how does one use their apocalypse 'bonuses' if they have them anyway, I have read they can use Preliminary Bombardment, and have the option to take a trench or something like that, do these still apply for the current edition?
Any help is appreciated

Pretty much, yeah. It carries a little armament, but it's primarily for carrying infantry across clear terrain that they couldn't otherwise cross. It's a good choice if the alternative is charging across an open table (and I've tried).

Alright, I did have a few more questions on things which I edited in the original post, I might try getting my hands on a Gorgon then, thanks

Its Also an awesome looking modem if you ask me, fill it with grenadiers or storm troopers, it's a lot of ap 3 shots you can drop at short range in one turn into a marine players line and do some considerable damage,
Use your infantry to cross no man's land beside it and support the assault with leman russes following in close support.
As for the trenches, in the old apoc book there used to be a line company formation that gave you 3 feet of wall ... Idk if you can still use the old formations

I'm so surprised no one's posted any silly answers to this question.
Given how frequently I use my apocalypse vehicles I would say that your Gorgon will sit unused looking pretty a lot of the time, in which case it can serve many functions with its large open topped interior space.
As for use in battle, I'm fairly certain the Gorgon really only has one use - to drive as close to the enemy while protecting the infantry within it, then lower the front and unleash hell!
