Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique Features | Difficulty | Player Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| War Machine / Ranged Support | Massive artillery barrels, detailed wooden carriages, ammunition crates, defensive palisades, and modular crew figures | Intermediate, due to assembling mechanical gun carriages and detailing multiple human crew models. | Do not glue the warmachine barrels to their carriages before painting, allowing you to easily access the undercarriage and wheel spokes. |
Cannons & Mortars
Dominate the shooting phase and shatter your opponent's lines with the Empire of Man Cannons & Mortars. This multi-part plastic kit delivers the finest engineering of the Old World straight to your tabletop. Great Cannons are the ultimate answer to enemy monsters and chariots, capable of tearing through targets with single, high-damage shots. Meanwhile, Mortars lob high-explosive shells over enemy ranks, devastating massive blocks of infantry. A crucial cornerstone for any tactical commander.
Empire of Man: Cannons & Mortars
- Two complete artillery pieces providing devastating long-range fire support to anchor your battleline
- Dual-option plastic kit allowing you to build any combination of Great Cannons or Mortars
- Includes 6 multi-part crew miniatures along with defensive barricades and ammunition accessories

Masters of Black Powder Warfare
The Engineers of Altdorf are famed across the Old World for their deadly ballistic creations. Cannons and Mortars represent the pinnacle of this destructive craft, keeping the monstrous threats of the world at bay. Each machine is operated by a dedicated crew who load black powder and heavy ordnance under treacherous battlefield conditions. For painters, this kit offers an engaging mix of wood grain textures, weathered metals, and fabric unifoms stained with soot.
The Iron Backbone of the Empire
In the armies of the Empire of Man, these war machines form the anchors of your defensive lines. While your ranks of infantry absorb the enemy charge, your artillery forces the opponent to advance under a relentless hail of fire, breaking their morale before they ever reach your ranks.
Key Benefits of Cannons & Mortars
- Incredible range advantage allowing you to threaten targets across the entire table
- Highly effective blast templates from Mortars to thwack dense groups of cheaper enemy infantry
- Includes thematic battlefield clutter and barricades to create a mini-diorama on every base
Battlefield Targets and Applications
- Behemoths and Heavy Armor: Great Cannons excel at sniping high-toughness monsters, dragons, and heavily armored cavalry units from afar.
- Massed Infantry Hordes: Mortars use indirect fire to loft shells over terrain, softening up large regiments of infantry before they can engage.
- Combined Ballistics: By utilizing both variants in tandem, you create a versatile firing line that can handle any threat your opponent deploys.
