[[Chris-Chan|No, not like that.]]

One of the most exotic kind of weapons, sonic weapons emit [[Slaanesh|vibrations]] from sound waves of various frequencies in order to not just make your usual scrub's ear drums to explode but also to disrupt anything they hit, shaking the target quite literally apart. Most commonly used by the [[Emperor's Children]], the [[Eldar]] make use of them as well.

==Noise Marine Weaponry==
[[File:Noise Marine.jpg|200px|thumb|left|THINGS SHALL GET LOUD NOW.]]
The warbands of the Emperor's Children (and [[Noise Marines]] in general) use sonic weapons with great frequency, and sport three variations of the weapon. Back in the 80s, these weapons were stylized to resemble electric guitars and keytars, making Noise Marines look like psychotic weaponised hair metal bands. This awesomeness, alas, gave way to more "modernistic" fancy guns around 4th edition.

===Sonic Blaster===
The basic weapon employed by Noise Marines it fires blasts of sound capable of tearing through targets with the force of a [[Bolter]], best suited to mowing down infantry hordes, but fired in mass can strip wounds of vehicles and monsters.

===Blastmaster===
The Blastmaster (no, not those fancy toy guns you get from the 90's) is the Sonic Blaster turned up to 11 (herro!). It can fire on two settings: the varied frequency setting can be fired similarly to a heavy bolter, even on the move, though it has a slightly slower rate of fire; the single frequency setting turns it into a straight up heavy weapon that can project its ROCK over a significant target area that can damage light and medium vehicles, and kill several space marines outright. Despite its name has nothing to do with Master Blaster, who is [[awesome]] in other ways.

===Doom Siren===
The Doom Siren (also known as the Angry/Agony Organ) is a backpack-mounted device that can weaponize the warcries of the wearer, turning his [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq_r19xoKJE facemelters] into literal [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RCI8D8avGI facemelters].

===Sonic Shrieker===
A piece of utility wargear rather than an offensive weapon, this [[Great Crusade]]-era implant was a Laer-derived implant, giving those equipped an advantage by inflicting a -1 WS debuff to enemy models in base contact that aren't immune to Fear. This implant doesn't make an appearance a few years down the line, either being empowered by the Chaos God Slaanesh probably led to this wargear being phased out as the Crusade built up, or was possibly "upgraded" and incorporated into the Emperor's Children implantation process for further generations of [[Noise Marines|sick fucks]].

===The Cacophony===
A weapon that was derived from the bizarre instruments commissioned by [[Remembrancer]] Bequa Kynska for her opera for the Emperor's Children (or ''were'' those instruments, looted from the blood- and semen-stained stage), this was one of the first human made sonic weapons and was designed for [[FATAL|ear rape]] as well as [[Chaos|mind rape]]. This Great Cursade-era weapon was used by the Emperor's Children Kakophoni (the first recognizable Noise Marines), and they look like big sonic blasters, and can be thought of as prototypical blastmasters. This was a heavy weapon that had only one firing mode that was stronger than a blastmaster's varied frenquency setting, but could only fire twice and had Gets Hot!; but they had the bonus of having the capacity to inflict collateral damage to a squad that could kill most units outright.

===8th Edition===
With the advent of [[Warhammer 40,000 8th edition|8th edition]], a few changes were made to the weapons:

* The Sonic Blaster is 4 pt upgrade from the regular Boltgun: with the same 24" S4 AP0 D1 profile. But with Assault 3 making for a far more flexible weapon capable of 3 shot at 24" rather than one. While also allowing shooting after advancing. As a sonic weapon it denies the enemy bonuses to their saves due to cover.
* The Blastmaster has two firing modes either: 36" S4 AP-1 D1 Assault D6, or 48" S8 AP-2 DD3 Heavy D3, both of which ignore cover bonuses. Making it superior to a missile launcher in every way. In its assault mode is has 12" less range but AP-1. In its heavy fire mode its essential a D3 Krak [[Missile Launcher]] that costs 5 points less. Blastmasters are not as powerful as they once were against power armor; but are far better against characters, terminators, vehicles, and multi-wound models in general. Averaging 2 shots at S8 AP-2 D2, but possibly doing 9 damage in a single shooting phase, at 20 pts they cost 5 pts less than a Missile Launcher or [[Lascannon]]! The Varied Frequency setting will see far more use than in the past as well; averaging 3.5 S4 AP-1 D1 shots, with the potential for 6 shots, it's got slightly better rate of fire than a Sonic Blaster, and a much-improved AP of -1.
* The Doom Siren is now a heavy flamer with 8" S5 AP-2 D1 Assault D6 that auto-hits, and does not allow cover bonuses for 22 pts.

==Chaos Renegades==
According to the ''Tome of Excess'' for [[Black Crusade]], followers of Chaos besides the Noise Marines also make use of sonic weaponry, though its usage is still predominantly concentrated amongst Slaaneshi faithful. In the Screaming Vortex, sonic weaponry is most associated with the world of Ghibelline. Sonic weaponry requires energy to function, rather than ammunition, so those renegades not blessed enough to have a suit of power armor to hook them into must wear power generating backpacks.

===Shrieking Pistol===
This is the smallest known form of non-Legion sonic weaponry, discharging thrumming blasts of psychosonic energy. The Pirates of the Ragged Helix are mentioned as favoring this weapon for its ability to blast a target free of the limited gravity of their home range with a single shot, condemning the victim to an excruciating death as they spiral off into the depths of space.

===Howler Rifle===
These weapons fire intensely focused and accurate blasts of high-pitched sound, but when used at their full power, they create an acoustic onslaught that causes the wielder - and anyone else nearby - to suffer uncontrollable bleeding from their ears.

===Hyperwave Clarion Cannon===
The most powerful sonic wave cannon to be carried by a non-Astartes heretic, this complex but sturdy weapon uses endlessly alternating frequencies of sounds that oscillate faster than matter can withstand to reduce bones to jelly, blast ferrocrete to powder and liquefy adamantine.

===Shatterscream Rounds===
Originally a humble automated sentry alarm called a Screamer, Shatterscream rounds repurposes the clarions into makeshift ammo in an attempt to create a more portable and easily acquired form of sonic weaponry.

===Sonic Shrieker===
A modification for power armor helmets that allows the wearer to unleash disrupting screams and cries, it is "rumored to draw its origins from xenos technology" - a pretty clear reference to the infamous masks of the [[Eldar]] Howling Banshees.

==Eldar==
The Eldar employ a number of sonic weapons as well.

===Vibro Cannon===
A peculiar weapon, the Vibro Cannon builds up a charge inside itself, and then lets it fly to rip things (and people) apart. The Vibro Cannon uses [[meme|multiple successive devastating sonic blasts]] to kill things, so the longer it stays on a target the more dead the target becomes. Comparable to the weapons used by the [[Noise Marines]], except ''they'' use a single note or riff, instead of killing the enemy with dubstep. Essentially, the Vibro Cannon is like an opera singer using her voice to shatter a wine glass, whereas a Sonic Blaster is more like sitting right in the front row of a death metal concert and going completely insane in the process. They can also combine with other Vibro Cannons to deal even more damage. As you might guess this weapon has been the butt of many a joke thanks to its name, and just as well it sounds approximately like something the Noise Marines would use, though [[Dark Eldar|don't tell an Eldar that...]]

===Sonic Lance===
Weaponizing sonic waves to the extreme, the Sonic Lance can shake apart even Superheavy vehicles. Due to its size this weapon can only be used by the Lynx super-heavy tank, or mounted on the [[Revenant Titan]].

Decimator

2605:E000:7ECF:7F00:46A:D4A9:CEF5:4F1:

[[File:Decimator9.jpg|300px|right|thumb|GET OUT OF MY WAY FAGGOTS!]]
Decimators, AKA [[Awesome|FUCKING AWESOME!]], are an unaligned Daemon Engine and look like badass versions of [[Daemon Knights]]. Decimators are armoured with slabs of tainted ceramite and adamantium, and a low-set ‘head’ which gives the Decimator a characteristic hunched posture which exudes brooding and vicious menace.

==Overview==
Decimators are a hellish amalgamation of human and xenos technology fused and brought to unholy life by the darkest warp sorcery and dickery. While they are rarely encountered due to the amount of fusing between compatible human, xeno and daemon technology, when they appear [[Anal Circumference|''you better clench your butts''.]] If you want to find them go to the Galactic South of the Segmentum Tempestus in the benighted reaches of the Nightmare Rifts. Here in the dark void beyond the borders of the Imperium, some unknown source, it is believed, barters these dread killing machines for a high price in blood, plunder and souls meaning that they are a not only a Daemon Engine but a [[Awesome|mercenary Daemon Engine who will pledge loyalty for the biggest prize of gore, loot, and ballbusting sex. Fucking Awesome.]]

==Weaponry==
Decimators, being the badass motherfuckers they are, are able to carry and field a wide range of terrible and rapetastic armaments, such as rapid-firing Butcher Cannons, multi-barrelled Stormlasers, Soulburner Petards, Heavy Conversion Beamer, and great raking Siege Claws, to name but a few.

Towering over even the mighty Contemptor Pattern [[Dreadnoughts]] of the [[Adeptus Astartes]], the Decimator is believed to be an attempt to bolster the ranks of such ancient devices that still serve the Traitor Legions. If this is the truth, then it is feared that many warriors of the Imperium will fall before these deadly war machines.

And did we mention that they look fucking cool?

Wirewolf

2017-11-22T01:48:58Z

2605:E000:7ECF:7F00:46A:D4A9:CEF5:4F1:

[[File:Wirewolf fanart.jpg|450px|right|thumb|A fanart rendition on what a Wirewolf would look like (Its the one on the left).]]
A '''Wirewolf''' is a monstrous Chaos machine in the service of Magister Anakwanar Sek's forces. They are powered by a trapped daemonic entity, in the same fashion as a [[Defiler]], but can take a variety of shapes and forms, depending on their makers (ranging from knights in full armor to actual hounds). Meaning that Wirewolves are fucking [[Chaos]] [[Transformers|Transformers!]]

When inactive, Wirewolves hang from specially fashioned "gibbets", where arcane practices had made the space thin so that the Immaterium could finger its way through the aether when the correct commands came. They could be summoned by wandering "glyfs" (sentient Chaos runes) at the slightest hint of disturbances from the enslaved population. Once awoken, they were known to be quite uncontrollable, often attacking friends and foes alike.

The downside to the usage of Wirewolves is that they expend their energy quickly, and must periodically return to their "gibbets" to recharge. But when they were fully awoken, there was little that could stand before their assault.

When damaged enough or destroyed, the Wirewolves' ruptured metal carcasses are torn open, unleashing the contained energy in a ferocious explosion that could potentially kill anyone within its blast radius.

Being able to change its form, Wirewolves can make almost any weapon it can forge in a near instant, whether it is razor swords, autocannons or even the simple old fangs. The quick adaptability of the Wirewolf makes it a dangerous and lethal opponent to even [[Space Marine|Space Marine Sergeants]]. It is unknown what the [[Space Wolves]] would do if they encountered a Wirewolf; they would likely either destroy it or tame it as part of their collection of [[Extra Heresy|extra-heretical]] [[Furry|furry porn]]. [[Skyrar's Dark Wolves]], on the other hand, likely have an abundance of the monstrosities, because WOLVES.

They are famously known for their encounter with twelve members of the [[Tanith First (And Only)|Tanith First and Only's]] mission on Gereon. Much to the amazement of the Chaos forces, they managed to defeat the Wirewolves that were summoned against them. Most notably, Surgeon Ana Curth [[Wat|destroyed one of the daemonic machines with a number of flasks containing the blessed water from the Balneary Shrine of Herodor]] (that was originally manufactured by the Departmento Medicae to counteract the effects of Warp-contact on the human metabolism). Suffice to say, the way the Wirewolves was defeated was... [[Derp|quite underwhelming in that regard.]] All things considered, being killed by something like consecrated silver bolter rounds would make sense since these are, of course, robot werewolves, but holy water? Seriously?
