Weapons: The Basilisk is armed with an Earthshaker cannon and a hull-mounted heavy bolter.
Options: The Basilisk may be given any of the following from the Imperial Guard Codex: armoured crew compartment, camo-netting, extra armour, hunter-killer missile, improved comms, pintle-mounted heavy stubber, pintle-mounted storm-bolter, rough terrain modification, searchlight, track guards, smoke launchers.
The Basilisk may be modified to fire indirectly as described in the special rules below at a cost of +25 pts.
Heavy Support: A Basilisk is a Heavy Support choice for an Imperial Guard army, corresponding to the Basilisk entry in Codex: Imperial Guard.
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 the minimum guess range is 36".
The Basilisk mounts the same Earthshaker Cannon as the towed Earthshaker Platform, which carries the weapon's full profile.
