Combined with rolling, steel-clad machinery, a manoeuvrable and superbly armoured Volley Gun is a truly deadly piece of equipment.

Steam Tank (Volley Gun) is an Empire war machine unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III with Thrones of Decay.

Recruitment[]

Description[]

The Masters of the Imperial School of Engineers constantly design new experimental weapons systems with which to outfit the Empire’s Steam Tanks. One such modification incorporates a modified steam-powered version of the highly successful but notoriously unpredictable Helblaster Volley Gun, replacing the standard steam-powered cannons. This has proved to be devastating, often as much to the Engineer himself as to the enemy, and is particularly effective against well-armoured targets. Some of the older School of Engineering members oppose their use, for they see the mounting of Volley Guns on Steam Tanks as far too great a risk. However, these fears are generally outweighed, for the destructive potential of the weapon is formidable by any measure.

Attributes[]

  • War Machine
  • Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.
  • Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
  • Causes Terror: This unit can cause terror, making its melee target rout for a short time. Units that cause terror are immune to terror and fear themselves.
  • Unbreakable: This unit does not suffer any form of leadership loss and will never rout.

This is just normal Steam Tank with less range but more damage. Use them just like how you use the original variant. Place them closer to the frontline than the other variant, it will pretty much tear everything within it's range.
