Special Rules

Indirect Fire: The Earthshaker can fire 'indirectly' at targets it can't see in the same way as a mortar or Whirlwind. Earthshakers that fire indirectly obey the normal Earthshaker cannon rules, except that they become Barrage (ie, Guess range) weapons with a range of 36"-240" (see page 84 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook). Note that the minimum 'guess' for indirect fire is 36".
