</p><p><i>Battle engines are powerful weapons of war. These giant machines require neither sorcerous control from an army’s warcaster nor battlefield guidance from its officers. Instead, a battle engine’s own commander, crew, or consciousness guides it to rain down destruction upon enemies bold or foolish enough to stand in its path.
</i></p><p>A battle engine is a huge-based (120 mm) independent model.

<ul><li> The main differences between battle engines and the other huge bases are:
<ul><li> They can be placed, and they can move outside their Normal Movement (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Dodge" title="Dodge">Dodge</a>).</li>
<li> They can benefit from <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Advance_Deployment" title="Advance Deployment">Advance Deployment</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Incorporeal" title="Incorporeal">Incorporeal</a>, and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Stealth" title="Stealth">Stealth</a>.</li>
<li> They can't make ranged attacks while in melee. <br/>At least not by default; but many battle engines have <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Gun_Platform" title="Gun Platform">Gun Platform</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Dual_Attack" title="Dual Attack">Dual Attack</a>, or similar.</li>
<li> Unlike Colossals and Gargantuans, your opponent can <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Take_control" title="Take control">take control</a> of your battle engine. There are very few such abilities that work on this model type, though.</li></ul></li>
<li> Being a huge-based model, a Battle Engine can never <i>gain the DEF bonus from</i> concealment ... but it can still <i>have</i> concealment and thereby trigger <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Prowl" title="Prowl">Prowl</a>.</li></ul>
<p><u>Huge Base</u> (<a class="external text" href="../index2a4a.html?title=Template:RC_Huge_Base&action=edit" rel="nofollow">Edit</a>)

<ul><li> You can draw LOS from your <b>L</b>eft arc to a target in your <b>R</b>ight arc (and vice versa). <a href="File_LOS_Oddity2.html" title="File:LOS Oddity2.jpg">See also this diagram</a></li>
<li> Huge-based models get bonus distance if they do a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Power_Attack:_Slam" title="Power Attack: Slam">Power Attack: Slam</a> or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Power_Attack:_Power_Strike" title="Power Attack: Power Strike">Power Attack: Power Strike</a>. </li></ul>
