Push in, then pull back
Drive the Steam Tank into a part of the enemy line where it can shoot and absorb attention. It is a large target, so expect anti-large weapons and artillery to turn towards it.
Do not leave it surrounded. Pull it back towards your infantry once enemy anti-large units start to gather, and use it again where the line needs help.
Where it comes from
The Steam Tank is part of the base Empire roster from the original Total War: Warhammer. It is one of the Empire's late recruitment options.
Empire lord packs add their own lords and units, but the Steam Tank itself does not need a separate unit purchase once you can play an Empire faction.
A combined-arms army
Empire armies mix infantry, gunpowder and artillery. Swordsmen hold space, handgunners and a Helstorm Rocket Battery shoot, and the Steam Tank anchors the push forward.
Karl Franz, Balthasar Gelt, Volkmar, Markus Wulfhart, Elspeth von Draken and Boris Todbringer all lead Empire campaigns that can use the shared core roster.
