Basalisk firing range

No Sephe. You have the range right for direct but not indirect.

In direct fire mode (must have line of sight) it has a maximum range of 120" and no minimum range.
In indirect fire mode it does not need line of sight and it's range is extended to a whopping 240", however it has a minumum range of 36".

Direct 120"
Indirect 36" - 240"

24 feet seems like a bit of overkill, unless you're planning on bombarding other tables with your artillery.

I have to finish building and painting my guard army first.

LMAO.....Hahahahahahaha

Hah, that reminds me of the last tournament I played. I was paired with a guy who was kinda new to the game and had never played against IG. I was explaining my units to him and he asked what the range on the basilisk was.

Me: See that devastator squad there?
Him: What, my squad in the corner here?
Me: No, that one two tables down that's playing against that Chaos player. They're in range.
Him: Oh. Geez.

ROFL :w00t:

Oh gosh. That was funny.

But, seriously, I have used my Basilisk in a mega battle and they are very very scary. In fact, I would have to say that besides a Super Heavy vehicle, they are the second scariest thing in a mega battle.

well i want basilks but mine are sadly on back order so god knows when there comeing. but i wanted a lot of inderect fire becuse the store i go to wants to have a huge 3000 point game with all the warhammer players this summer. i think they want it to be imperium agenst non but i may be on the non imperium side becuse my colors are dark and could be trator leigons.

I got to use my basilisks in a 10,000 point Tyranid vs. Imperium mega battle this past summer. From one table corner to the opposite one, it was still only 13 feet. Every turn I dropped a shell on the farthest opponent away, not because it was tactically sound (believe me, I had my own fish to fry), but because it was worth it to piss that one guy off that couldnt do a thing about it all game.

In the end, Imperium Won 7VPs to 6VPs because I took out the tyranid Heirophant Bio-Titan on the last turn with my Lascannons. I love the smell of fried ichor in the morning.
