It has the longest maximum range I've ever seen, 960".  That's 80 feet, in case you're playing an Apocalypse game with someone at the other end of the block.

... My god have they gone nuts!

Well, you never know. One day you might be playing against the person down the street.

/yell "Okay, I am firing this at you." *Gets giant tape measure

[Cthulhu]

Oh man.

Giant Warhammer 40k parties with twenty people or more on each side, taking up an entire gymnasium floor.

That would be insane.

That would be insane.

It would also take three days for one round

How much AoE damage is caused by that shell?

I could see that unit be useful as an artillery that can target any enemy force on the playing field...

At the risk of posting any more specific information, the blast is as powerful as any attack can be.  The trick is that it doesn't use a blast template.  Instead, you figure out where it landed and measure a randomly determined radius out from that - giving it a blast 8-12" in diameter.  Since it doesn't technically have a center hole, it does full strength damage against any vehicles.

The blast is pretty incredible (the normal Ordinance template is about 5-6" diameter), but it only fires once on a random turn, and when are you ever going to use a table more than six feet wide?  I'd spend the points on a Medusa.

What is a Medusa?

And on another note, I saw the funniest comic, involving a Space Marine(Clearly Ultramarines) and a Guardsman. The Guardsman asks the Marine what chapter he is. The marine looks at him, and pulls out a Meltabomb. He says to the Guardsman "This is the most prestigious award given to the most intelligent of the Emperor's Finest." he sticks the meltabomb to the guardsman head. The guardsman says thanks, and the Marine walks away. The Guardsman then explodes.

Well, that's a Basilisk.  A Medusa is another artillery piece like it, just with a stronger gun with no indirect fire.  Basically a demolisher cannon with another foot of range on a Chimera chassis.  To my judgment, it's a cost-efficient means of wiping the smile of that arrogant ponce who only plays with a Deathwing detachment.

Okay, got the newest WD, and I hate to say it, but Guard look good.

I played a few games with my SM last weekend. Only after them, I figured out two of my games shouldnt have counted, as I slightly cheated(Misinterpretation of Pedro Kantor's Special).

My last game was fun though. 750 Points. I had a Captain, 2 Tactical Squads, and a Land Raider Redeemer against some Tau. We tied, as we both had 1 objective. My best unit in that game was my Land Raider, as it caused one Fireteam to run off, another to fall back, but later regroup, almost damage a Hammerhead(that had fired at it the entire game, but either missed, didnt glance or penetrate, or only get crew stunned), and then flame a group of Tau. And my only casualties were 5 Marines.
