Just wondering if an ARTILLERY such as a thunderfire cannon or a Arty carriage battery and crew can be deployed inside a fortification such as a bastion or imperial bunker?
The unit listing for ARTILLERY does not say anything about it, and the building rules section doesn't touch on it either.

I am aware you can stick a thunderfire cannon inside a drop pod, so it would make sense it can embark a fortification, and Arty carriage battery *IA1 2ed* is not even listed as bulky.
I think its something they never really expected would come up.

Any thought?

The Vehicle Embarking rules say only Infantry can embark (unless stated otherwise ie: Drop pods can take vehicles and Artillery).

Is an Artillery unit (Unit Type: Artillery) Unit Type: Infantry?

I think buildings also allow Jump Infantry and Jet Pack Infantry, but not Artillery.

No, they don't.

Edit - My bad. They actually do. Never noticed that.

Nothing stops you from putting artillery on the battlements though, as they are treated like ruins.

No, not ruins. That was last edition.

True nuff,

This is what happens when they keep changing the fething rules on me....
