AR 0 SV 4+ CAF 0/-2 Spd 12/16 BR 150
Auto-Cannon (Tt1) Bolters (SwR2) (SwL2)
Minesweeper & Minelayer, Aroured Vehicle

Minesweeper rules
"When ever the Gorgon moves within 5cm of a mine counter roll a D6 on a
1-5 the mine is destroyed and on a 6 the mine detonates"

Minelayer rules
"One mine may be relased at any time during the Gorgon's move - Place a
counter at the appropriaite point. The mine becomes active at the start
of the next phase. A mine ignores void shields and causes critical
damage on a 2+. The Gorgon carries 4 mines.

<Note all of the above is for 1st Ed Epic. This ability was lost in
2nd ed and of course the whole damn thing is gone in 3rd>
