Thallax with Photon Thruster[2]

Photon Thruster Weapons are advanced weapons by the Myrmidon Destructors and Thallax of the Adeptus Mechanicus.[1]

The arcane secrets of these deadly beam weapons are closely guarded by the Tech Priests of the Mechanicum. When fired, it unleashes a howling needle-thin beam of blackness able to pierce through the densest matter and easily able to rip apart the most heavily armored men and machines apart. The power source of these weapons are extremely unstable little understood even by the Myrmidons themselves, and a catastrophic failure can lead to its wielder being consumed by raging black flames.[1]

Types

  • Photon Gauntlet[3]
  • Photon Thruster[3]
  • Darkfire Cannon[3] - Believed to be of alien origin (though nothing has ever been proved), the darkfire cannon is a long lance-like weapon that fires needle-thin beams of dark energy that can pierce even the thickest armour with ease.[4] Unleashing screaming beams of pure darkness, armour, flesh and stone boil away with their touch, and even the most heavily armoured vehicles can be torn apart by their hellish un-light.[5]
