Modern light tank bae griffon8/25/2023 ![]() Warhammer 40K Darktide Review - Left To Shred ![]() The Griffon is also able to use the same ammunition variants as the stand-alone Heavy Mortar Cannon and so the Griffon has become a niche weapon in many Imperial armoured regiments. ![]() The Griffon is much more mobile and has a higher rate of fire than most other armoured vehicles, and can keep up with other fast-moving Imperial forces, whereas a Basilisk would fall behind or even slow down the advance. Yet, when deployed correctly, the Griffon has many advantages over its larger cousins. The Griffon is slowly becoming extinct as a frontline unit as less and less are replaced after being lost during a battle and its manufacturing rate amongst the Imperial Forge Worlds is steadily declining. The Griffon is much maligned by Imperial military commanders because its weapon lacks in range and firepower compared to the heavier artillery pieces and main battle tanks. The Griffon has been in Imperial service since the time of the Great Crusade, when it was known to the Imperial Army as the "Helios Mortar Carrier." The main weapon of the Griffon is not capable of long-range fire like the Basilisk, or powerful enough to destroy heavy vehicles and structures. The Griffon is used as an indirect-fire support vehicle for infantry during offensive sieges and is also used to fire over walls and other barriers. The tank is the lightest of the Imperial Guard's artillery and siege tanks, and is smaller in both size and firepower than the Basilisk, Medusa, and Bombard tanks. The Griffon is a light artillery tank of the Imperial Guard that is equipped with a Heavy Mortar Cannon and is based on the Chimera chassis.
