When I first looked at it, I nearly crapped my pants. Barrage 4 from each gun, in a 1-3 gun battery? 12 blasts on one target? WHEEEE!
Then I noticed that each gun fights seperately, so you'd have to mark and scatter each gun's 4 shots seperately. Phoo.

But I think it'll be a nice look when you announce your shooting and your opponent starts sweating ;D

Even Though It Doesn't Really Say, I'd imagine this would be under heavy support ..... I would think ....

I think That is One of the Reasons They Decided to re-introduce It ... a Thudd Gun Can Be sick in City Of Death

I want one. Just one has the potential to do worlds more damage then a squad of mortars, and it's cheaper. But screw Forge World, I'll make my own.

So I'm about done scratch building my first Thudd Gun. It's far from perfect, but I'm working with whatever I can find here at college. I'll get some pics up when I can. Crewmen and fancy bitz will have to wait till I get home...

I like the fact that thudd guns don't fire in a 3 gun battery, that almost would make them more accurate one would think. I hate when a battery starts off target and doesnt get much closer even with good rolls with the rest of the volley.
something I figured I'd add to this thread since it's artillery related and also relates strongly to guard infantry (since this thread is in the infantry forum) is the new dark angels whirlwind ammo. all I have to say is OUCH!!! "Ignores armor saves" is painful for us since we rely on cover for our armor saves. anyone know if this new ord round is ap5 or ap4?
