Plasma Burner

Interemptor with a Plasma Burner^[1]

Plasma Burners were a type of Plasma Weapon used by Dark Angels Interemptors during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.^[1]

A dangerous offshoot of more common plasma technology, Plasma Burners vented plasma gas through a magnetic bottle in high-speed jets. Any enemy caught in the path of such a jet was quickly reduced to molten slag. However, the magnetic fields that keep the superheated gas contained were fragile and emitted a radiation, and as such the average Interemptor remained combat-viable for only a few short decades before requiring augmetic replacements or Dreadnought entombment.^[2]
