Editing Sonic Weaponry (section)

==Imperium==
The Imperium is known to utilize audio weapons and tools in their mode of warfare. [[Adeptus Mechanicus|AdMechs]] and [[Sisters of Battle|Sisters]] are known users.

===Proclamaitor Hailer===
[[File:Scrambler_Array_Staff.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Proclamaitor Hailer]]
The Proclamaitor Hailer is similiar to the Imperium's Laud Hailer. But rather than singing praises to the [[Emprah]], it sings praises to the [[Hive Mind|Star Gods]]. Wielded by the [[Clamavus]] and integrated into the suit, the Proclamaitor Hailer 'proclaims' the arrival of the space locusts to the unwashed masses of a Imperium backwater planet. Proclamaitor Hailers are always paired with the [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Scrambler Array|<s>Scrambler Array</s> DJ Record Player]] to further enhance its capabilities. Whilst the Hailer spread the word, the Scrambler Array fucks with the comms of loyal Imperial forces. In this aspect, the Scrambler Array and the Proclamator Hailer are both interdependent of one another, often acting as a single tool in function.

On the other hand, the Proclamaitor Hailer can also psychically link up with the Cult's Patriarch, turning a giant glorified microphone into a deadly psychic screech that can make [[Psyker|Psykers]] shit themselves into oblivion and make normal units suffer ear bleeds.

On tabletop, the Proclamaitor Hailer <u>'''IS'''</u> the Scrambler Array, as these two tools are one in the same. Enemy units cannot deep-strike within 12" of him, that three inches may not seem much but it does plug holes in your army and prevents any other special Stratagem or rule from appearing closer than 9" like, say, yourself. Also, the Clamavus can deal a mortal wound to a unit within 6" on a 6 from dropping his sick beats. Still, despite the Hailer being nothing more than a prop to the more useful and dominant Scrambler Array, it at least has an ability named....[[Derp|''after itself.'']] This ability is a passive one that gives every CULT units within 6" +1 to charge, leadership, and advance.

===Seismic Cannon===
[[File:SeismicCannon.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Seismic Cannon]]
Despite its name, the Seismic Cannon is not meant to be used as a weapon. It is a type of construction and mining equipment used by the Imperium of Man and one of the more common tools found across the Galaxy. The Seismic Cannon is known for its weight, requiring a tripod to successfully operate; and is basically a technologically advanced, long range pickaxe. The distinctive pronged muzzle of a Seismic Cannon sends out pulsed bow waves of sonic force that can shiver a basilica wall into rubble and its most common use is blasting giant boulders into pebbles or demolishing a house in a few well placed shots. And just like its pickaxe ancestor can be swung at an opponent's skull in a pinch, the Seismic Cannon can be re-purposed as a weapon to turn the internal organs of living targets to mush. The rank-and-file troops from [[Genestealer Cult|Genestealer Cults]] are the most frequent users, with the earlier generations of hybrids finding that having three arms helps to make it more portable.

===Heavy Seismic Cannon===
[[File:HeavySeismicCannon2.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Seismic Cannon]]
A much bigger variant of the normal Seismic Cannon.

Like the Seismic Cannon, the Heavy Seismic Cannon is a common construction equipment used by the Imperium of Man. In this case, the Heavy Seismic Cannon is used against materials that can withstand the sonic impact of even the regular Seismic Cannon. Such materials may include diamonds, gems and other super dense composites.

Due to its large size and heavy and awkward firing position, the Heavy Seismic Cannon is only used on heavy utility vehicles that can mount such weapons and withstand the sonic backlash of these guns, the most common carrier of the Heavy Seismic Cannon is the [[Goliath Truck|Goliath Rockgrinder]] vehicles.

===Laud Hailer===
[[File:Laud_Hailer.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Laud Hailer]]
Not really a weapon per se, Laud Hailers are used by the Adepta Sororitas Sisters of Battle and the Ordo Hereticus as devices intended to spread faith in the God-Emperor and make the Heretics [[Shit Twinkie|shit themselves a new one]] [[Heresy|or bore them to death like a Sunday morning prayer.]] 

Proclaiming the power of the Emperor in heavenly tones, Laud Hailers fill the enemies of Mankind with dread. These devices can be used by the Adepta Sororitas Rhino, Immolator, and Exorcist vehicles. These are usually shaped like a small angel holding a trumpet, where the trumpet contains the device's sound projection system.

Occasionally, they can also be used in a more portable form by the [[Sage#Sister Dialogous|Sister Dialogous]] which is shaped like a giant [[Derp|staff/microphone/spoon.]]

In 7th Edition, Laud Hailers lets you reroll failed Act of Faith LD tests. Mathematically, it's more likely to let you succeed on an AoF than upgrading to a Superior would, and can potentially benefit multiple units.

"Realistically", Laud Hailers ''can'' be weaponized against daemons due to being able to use faith and holy prayers and such against them. But really, who honestly expects the Imperium to be smart enough to do that?

===Transonic Cannon===
[[File:Transonic_Cannon.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Transonic Cannon]]
The Blastmaster of Imperium sonic weapons.

The Transonic Cannons is a type of large and heavy sonic weapon wielded by a [[Tech-Priest Manipulus]]. These big and chonky weapons is powered from the the bulbous augmentation of which, contains a galvanic cell, from which they can channel a powerful charge of divine Motive Force – the underlying current of all life. A charged shot from the Transonic Cannon could render armor and bone alike with a single blast.

On the tabletop, the Transonic Cannon acts more like a AP-1 2D sonic flamer, which is hilarious seeing most sonic weapons have decent range. This makes the weapon a pretty deadly tool against MEQs, let alone GEQs Only available on the Manipulus. with the Transonic Cannon, the Manipulus can always advance and move 8-13 inches a turn and help assault squads by cleaning screens.

In contrast to the more longer-ranged [[Gauss#Magnarail Lance|Magnarail Lance,]] which is designed to skewer vehicles, the Transonic Cannon is meant to complement the Manipulus CQC orientated loadout and other weapon systems.

===Sonic Destructor===
[[File:Sonic_Destructor.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Sonic Destructor]]
The smaller version of the Sonic Disruptor.

The Sonic Destructor is a type of super-heavy Sonic Weapon used by the Adeptus Mechanicus. Deployed on the [[Ordinatus|Ordinatus Ulator]], the kid son of the Ordinatus Mars (Which also coincidentally mounts the much bigger Sonic Disruptor); it is a terrifying weapon whose origins lie in the shadows of the Age of Strife. In battle the Sonic Destructor generates a wave of annihilation that wreaks havoc across the battlefield.

In the [[Horus Heresy]] tabletop, this big ass sonic projector will have people [[RAGE|kicking you in the nuts every time you shoot it.]] [[Cheese|72" Range, Strength X, AP2, Pinning, Armourbane, Instant Death, Ignores Cover, Ulator Sonic Wave.]] [[Powergamer|Place down a Massive blast template(7") at the edge of the hull.]] Direct it at an enemy (Has to be enemy first and can hit friendlies) and draw a straight line using the Massive blast template. Anything that gets partially touched by it takes a hit from the following Table. [[Cheese|(This also includes Flyers. Yes. Even Flyers.)]]

===Sonic Disruptor===
[[File:Sonic_Disruptor_2.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Sonic Disruptor]]
The Sonic Destructor's father and the biggest Sonic weapon to date.

A Sonic Disruptor is a massive weapon used by [[Ordinatus|Ordinatii,]] the massive, one-of-a-kind war machines of the Centurio Ordinatus, that utilizes unique technology to produce sound waves which resonate across the battlefield, crumbling buildings, shattering bones, bursting organs and causing electronic equipment to explode as the wall of sonic energy passes over enemy forces.

The frequency of audio sound used by the Sonic Disruptor ravages those who fall victim to it, from a subsonic rumbling that tears buildings apart to a supersonic squall that pierces eardrums and flays skin from flesh. The Sonic Disruptor scales repeatedly up and down these frequencies, causing a blast of sonic energy that rolls forward like a force wave from a massive conventional explosion. Hiding in cover is of little use, since woods and rubble are just blown apart and walls simply amplify the sonic wave if they are not shattered. Even the weighty armor of a [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Titan]] or the reinforced buttresses of a stronghold provide little protection against the wrath of a Sonic Disruptor, the first of which was deployed by the Ordinatus Mars. Targets protected by energy fields such as Void Shields will lose one shield to the sonic wave before it passes.
