| Re: reallife basilisk?! The Basilisk probably is based off of a real world artillery piece. Ok, military nuts please don't lynch me for this, but I think that the Basilisk is a howitzer cannon. (am I speaking out my  again?)

 | Re: reallife basilisk?! It's pretty similar to a German 'Hummel' 88mm Gun Carriage but it doesnt have the armor.

| Re: reallife basilisk?! I agree, the Predators and Baneblades have appropriately scaled cannons, which is one of the reasons I picked Space Marines.

| Re: reallife basilisk?! the pred autocannon looks ugly though.And the "new" demolisher looks crappier than the old one.The only "normal" looking IG tank is the styges VII vanquisher tank,mars pattern demolisher,and 3rd ed exterminator and demolisher IMO.

| Re: reallife basilisk?!  paris gun anyone? german WW1 weapon. thats a person beside it, yes. 240mm, but the shell was going 5 times the speed of sound when it left the barrel and would go over 130km. excellent terror weapon, a precursor to the V-series rockets.
