As described in the ''9th Edition Necron Codex'', Enmitic Weapons create pulses that cause the victim's atoms to be repelled from each other violently when hit. Functionally the same as Necron [[Gauss]] weapons (both being disintegration rays), but more violent and destructive. Imagine something akin to the ''District 9'' microwave gun. They turn friendly and connected atoms into terrible enemies. And two enemy atoms in close proximity gets so mad that they turn the other way in order to avoid each other. Genius GW strikes again.

According to ''Twice Dead King: Ruin'', it fires information, rewriting the laws governing chemical bonds in their target using the same sort of techno-sorcery Crypteks use. Furthermore, the novel describes the aforementioned "information" to be "the basal language of reality itself". A language that rewrites reality itself. Does this remind anyone of '''Enuncia'''? An ancient language that has been consistently shown to obliterate anything it's directed against, whether materium or immaterium. Meaning that anything it kills '''stays dead''', including daemons; no word yet on whether it can permakill a [[perpetual]], though events from ''Echoes of Eternity'' would seem to suggest not. In antiquity, upon investigating the Towel of Babel, [[Emperor|the Emperor]] was going to have the language codified and presumably weaponized but was prevented from doing so by [[Ollanius Pius]], who intervened by [[Dick|"incapacitating"]] Big-E, and [[Troll|razing the tower to the ground as he was recuperating]]. | |||
As for the Necrons however, they not only discovered it with their ''extremely advanced science'', they turned it into some sort of fucking ''programming language'' (or existence re-program language) that allows them to give it complex, complicated instructions in order to perform an even more complicated task. Turning it into a programming language also mitigates the dangerous side effect of Enuncia (for example, during the ''Burning of Prospero'', a Space Wolf blew his mouth off after using Enuncia to permakill a greater daemon of Tzeentch on [[Prospero]]), meaning the Necron version is not only safer than Enuncia as humanity uses it, but it is even contained in ammunition-form so it can be used by whichever Necron is holding the weapon. This would go a long way to explaining why so much average-tier Necron-tech is capable of inflicting ''true deaths'' to the Neverborn as easily as killing beings of the materium.

Enmitic Weapons are a new type of Necron weapons.
What does Enmitic mean? How the fuck does Enmitic weapon work?[edit]
Prior to the release of 9th Edition Necron Codex and Twice Dead King: Ruin, an anon editor noticed that Enmitic is derived from the word 'enmity', meaning "the quality of being an enemy".
As described in the 9th Edition Necron Codex, Enmitic Weapons create pulses that cause the victim's atoms to be repelled from each other violently when hit. Functionally the same as Necron Gauss weapons (both being disintegration rays), but more violent and destructive. Imagine something akin to the District 9 microwave gun. They turn friendly and connected atoms into terrible enemies. And two enemy atoms in close proximity gets so mad that they turn the other way in order to avoid each other. Genius GW strikes again. Oh dear.
According to Twice Dead King: Ruin, it fires information, rewriting the laws governing chemical bonds in their target using the same sort of techno-sorcery Crypteks use. Furthermore, the novel describes the aforementioned "information" to be "the basal language of reality itself". A language that rewrites reality itself. Does this remind anyone of Enuncia? An ancient language that has been consistently shown to obliterate anything it's directed against, whether materium or immaterium. Meaning that anything it kills stays dead, including daemons; no word yet on whether it can permakill a perpetual, though events from Echoes of Eternity would seem to suggest not. In antiquity, upon investigating the Towel of Babel, the Emperor was going to have the language codified and presumably weaponized but was prevented from doing so by Ollanius Pius, who intervened by "incapacitating" Big-E, and razing the tower to the ground as he was recuperating.
As for the Necrons however, they not only discovered it with their extremely advanced science, they turned it into some sort of fucking programming language (or existence re-program language) that allows them to give it complex, complicated instructions in order to perform an even more complicated task. Turning it into a programming language also mitigates the dangerous side effect of Enuncia (for example, during the Burning of Prospero, a Space Wolf blew his mouth off after using Enuncia to permakill a greater daemon of Tzeentch on Prospero), meaning the Necron version is not only safer than Enuncia as humanity uses it, but it is even contained in ammunition-form so it can be used by whichever Necron is holding the weapon. This would go a long way to explaining why so much average-tier Necron-tech is capable of inflicting true deaths to the Neverborn as easily as killing beings of the materium. Truly the Necron technology is the best in the 40k universe! Case in point, there's a scene in The Avenging Son, which is set at the onset of the Indomitus Crusade, where an Inquisition team unleashes some Necron-tech (which is stated to be running at a fraction of full power) on the forces of Chaos. The tech starts glowing and taking the shape of pyramids [no, seriously], and emits green lightning which lashes into the daemons, instantly rendering a true death, and causing fucking BLOODLETTERS to flee in abject terror.
In the novel Twice Dead King: Ruin, an Enmitic weapon was used against an Ork walker, which causes the molecules of their targets not only to dissolve their bonds, but to tear each other apart (exactly the effect that the anon editor had theorized before).
Enmitic Disintegrator Pistol[edit]
The small kid brother of the family.
The Enmitic Disintegrator Pistol(s) are the main weapons of the gunslinger extraordinaire, the Hexmark Destroyer. The Destroyer holds SIX of these bad boys, allowing the Destroyer to go guns blazing like something out of an old Western. Nevertheless, as a pistol, its range ain't impressive, although its effective firing range is the same as the much larger Enmitic Annhilator. So pound for pound, it has a faster fire rate than its big bro.
Rules wise, the Enmitic Disintegrator Pistol is an 18" Pistol 1 weapon. Pretty long range for a pistol. It is S6 and AP-1, allowing it to punch straight through MEQs (Trust us, with the buffed Primaris Marines, that is a good thing) whilst dealing 1 damage per shot. Whilst that 1 damage may not sound like a lot, do take note that the Hexmark Destroyer has, and I shall repeat, SIX of these damned things. Six shots equal bye bye Primaris Marines Sadly you're averaging one dead Marine per turn, two dead Marines on a really good roll, and even then only if your exploding dice are equally good.
Enmitic Annihilator[edit]
The Enmitic Annihilator is a type of Necron weapon used by Skorpekh Lords.
It is the only known ranged weapon of the Skorpekh Lord and is considered as the Plasma Cannon of the family. Despite this, the sheer UNIT of the Skorpekh Lord makes the weapon appear and function more like a pistol. Despite this, it falls short of the horde beatstick known as the Enmitic Exterminator, so it is treated more as a support weapon than the primary gun.
Crunchwise, despite its size, it's got shortish range at 18", but 2d3, S6, AP-1 Blast shots are a nice starting point to give the lord just enough shooting power to take the edge off whatever he's about to puree with that giant claw of his. This thing deals with horde armies, especially tarpitters, so if you wanna trim the ensuing meat wave into manageable meat chunks, this is the gun for you.
Enmitic Exterminator[edit]
Enmitic Exterminator is a type of Necron weapon used by Lokhust Destroyers and are the big proverbial fuckstick of the family. Looking like a giant brick filled with a bundle of glowing PCP pipes. This six-barrelled FUCK OFF cannon is used to completely assrape whoever pissed off the local Overlord in the morning.
On the tabletop, the Enmitic Exterminator is your primary anti-infantry weapon for your Lokhust Heavy Destroyer. A 36" Heavy 3D3 weapon. This heavy sone-of-a-gun is a S7, AP-1 Blast weapon that deals 1 damage per shot. Horde armies are gonna melt and MEQs are going to cry bitter tears as a single blast wipes half the squad from the face of the earth duck for cover as this thing pumps out the damage the Hexmark Destroyer only wishes he could. With the beefed-up Primaris in 9th Ed, you NEED it.
Enmitic Obliterator[edit]
So far only mentioned in novels, the Enmitic Obliterator is the artillery piece of the family. Unlikely to make it to the tabletop unless GW decides to bring back Epic.
