Choose the firing lane before the charge
Deploy the Ironblaster where terrain and friendly troops leave a clear route to its target. A cannon needs a usable shot as well as an enemy worth shooting. Check that lane again as the Ogre infantry moves forward.
Use the Rhinox-drawn carriage to reposition when the battle shifts. Protect the approach against enemy troops sent around the line; pulling the cannon out of danger is often more useful than leaving it caught in an unwanted melee.
Coordinate it with the Bulls
Ogre Bulls put pressure on the enemy in close combat. Let their attack create firing opportunities rather than sending them directly across the cannon’s sight line. A target on an exposed side can be easier to engage than one hidden within the central melee.
Bragg gives the army another way to fight a large enemy at close range. Choose separate targets where possible, keeping the Ironblaster free to work while he and the Bulls occupy the opposing force.
Find it in the Ogre artillery roster
The Ironblaster is a separate unit from a Gnoblar Scraplauncher. Select its named entry in the recruitment panel and develop the corresponding recruitment building. Its campaign role is to add a cannon to an Ogre force, whichever Legendary Lord commands that force.
A gun from the Sky-titans
The cannon comes from the enormous weapons once used by the Sky-titans. Ogres recovered these guns and mounted them on beast-drawn carriages. Its size and Rhinox team explain the distinctive silhouette of this artillery piece.
