However, the weapon can be adjusted to fire indirectly in a way similar to how artillery guns such as howitzers are used. In-game, the Basilisk's Earthshaker gun normally is fired like any other ordnance weapon, directly pointing and shooting at a target just like any self-propelled artillery gun. Basilisks utilise the standard Chimera chassis but replace the passenger compartment and turret with the Earthshaker, leaving it with the hull-mounted heavy bolter weapon and driver's compartment. The Basilisk mounts one of the longest-ranged weapons in the entire game, the 'Earthshaker' artillery gun. It is similar in appearance to real-life self-propelled howitzers, being essentially an artillery piece mounted on a stripped-down chassis of another Imperial Guard vehicle, the Chimera transport. The Basilisk is one of the artillery tanks commonly used by the Imperial Guard in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It also takes from the vehicles' other appearances in various 'spin-off' publications such as video games. This article discusses the various Imperial Guard vehicles in the Warhammer 40,000 and Epic tabletop games. The tanks of the Imperial Guard range from lightly-equipped scout tanks, heavily-armoured battle tanks to self-propelled artillery.

However, it has exposed tracks around the outside of the chassis and gun sponsons similar to the tanks of the first World War. For instance, the Leman Russ battle tank has a hull design similar to World War II-era tanks. Stylistically, the tanks of the Imperial Guard contain elements of design from all throughout history. While lacking the more technologically-advanced vehicles available to the elite branches of the Imperium such as the Inquisition, the Imperial Guard do sport the largest selection of ordnance and armoured fighting vehicles among the armies in the game. This is a list of vehicles used by the Imperial Guard in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Vehicles of the Imperial Guard (Warhammer 40,000)
