The Marauder is armed with a large amount of weapon systems, including nose-mounted, movable turret with Twin-linked Lascannons, rear turret-mounted Twin-linked Heavy Bolters, dorsal-mounted Twin-linked Heavy Bolters, 12 200 kilogram High Explosive Bombs in an internal bomb bay, and up to 6 400 kilogram Heavy Bombs on an external bomb rack. The Marauder Bomber's nose turret armed with twin-linked Lascannons This variant also replaces the nose weapons with a single set of Twin-linked Heavy Bolters. This variant is used to gather intelligence on enemy positions and bases, flying at a high altitude allows the craft to remain relatively safe. Marauder Vigilant - The Vigilant variant of the Marauder replaces the internal bomb storage and top-mounted turret of the original with sophisticated surveillance equipment.This weapon allows the Marauder to destroy heavily fortified structures and positions. The warhead carried by the Colossus is a single 10,000 kg Guided Bomb. Marauder Colossus - The Colossus variant of the Marauder bomber replaces both the internal bomb storage and top-mounted turret of the original with room for a single warhead.This variant was first developed during the Second War for Armageddon, to fight the Orks who had air superiority. It also replaces the nose-mounted turret Lascannons with 3 Twin-linked Autocannons to better engage enemy infantry. Marauder Destroyer - By far the most widespread variant, the Destroyer variant replaces a portion of the standard Marauder's bomb capacity with missiles to engage enemy armoured units.Known variants of the Marauder Bomber include the following: These variants allow the Marauder to engage in different roles, or to be more effective in a single role. There are several known variants of the standard Marauder Bomber in use by the Imperial Navy. These are generally the most dangerous, as the bombers have to fly at lower altitudes, allowing enemy anti-air weapons to target them and can sometimes cause friendly causalities. Heavy Air Support for Ground Forces - Marauder Bomber squadrons will fly in direct support of ground forces, striking targets along the front line and engaging enemy armour.The Marauder is most effective in this role. These targets can include enemy supply convoys, fuel dumps, troops and vehicles in the open, airfields, and others as they present themselves. The bombers will attack targets that may have already been identified by aerial or orbital reconnaissance.
