A turret emplacement armed with heavy bolters that can suppress enemy infantry. Limited firing arc. Data version: 2.0.10

The Tarantula Turret is a stationary gun turret constructed by the Techmarine hero. It comes with two heavy bolters as standard and can be upgraded with two missile launchers instead.

  • Higher damage than the turret built by the Plague Champion hero, but smaller arc (100° against 120°)
  • Completely ineffective in melee range
  • Place in cover if possible to make it harder for melee units to get close enough
