=== Graviton Pulsar ===
[[File:GravitonPulsar.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Graviton Pulsar]]
The baby version of the Graviton Singularity Cannon.

Graviton Pulsars are a type of Graviton Weapon that is capable of crumpling power armor or ripping the treads from a tank via the projection of its crushing force. Unusually enough for Imperial standards, while able to cause great destruction, such weapons are more often employed to disable and impede rather than destroy, fired to halt the advance of war machines so that they might be captured largely intact.

Funnily enough, despite being the baby version of the Graviton Singularity Cannon, the Graviton Pulsar can also be found in ship-form. Oh yes, starship-sized graviton weapons sure sounds [[Exterminatus|like a recipe to make an]] [[Inquisitor]] [[/d/|quite erect indeed.]]

On 8th Edition, they are basically a super Grav-Cannon, with D6 shots at S6 AP-3 D2, up to D4 vs 3+ or better saves. Falls to the same pitfalls as most Grav weapons, as while the AP and Damage scream Anti Tank, the lackluster Strength holds it back, while the 4 damage is gross overkill against any Infantry that isn't a Character. Has a strong niche against Light Vehicles with good armour, like Armoured Sentinels and Landspeeders, but the Lightning Lock and Volkite Veuglaire have very similar stats at better range. It still does surprisingly well in the anti-tank roll with its high rate of fire and assurance that if a shot does wound, it's going to fucking hurt - provided you are shooting targets that have a 3+ or better save, at least 4 wounds, and don't have a great invuln, this will usually be your best gun.

===Graviton Ram===
[[File:Graviton_Ram.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Graviton Ram]]
When you want to [[Anal circumference|anally fist vehicles and buildings instead of people.]]

This weapon is the Graviton Hammer on bath salts that is used primarily and exclusively by the [[Legio Cybernetica|Thanatar-Calix-class Siege-Automata.]] It looks like one scary-ass metal brick with three large barrels in which compressed gravity is expelled out.

The Graviton Ram is an ancient design of unknown origin once believed to have been used for mining and excavation during the [[Dark Age of Technology]], these Graviton Weapons have been turned into implements of destruction by the Mechanicum.

The Graviton Ram is capable of pulverizing rock, metal and flesh in cascading waves of gravitational force. These weapons can send out powerful gravitic shock waves even at a distance, allowing the Thantar to attack enemy units that are believed to be out of melee range.

In the [[Horus Heresy]] tabletop, the Graviton Ram is a Assault - S10, AP1, Armourbane, Concussive, Structural Collapse weapon that fires a Heavy 1, Concussive, Graviton Wave, Haywire flamer template. As you can imagine, in assault it is gonna punch and fist everything to death whilst doubling out any T5 monsters into pulverized meat. Structural Collapse makes this a D weapon against any buildings or fortifications.

In shooting, Graviton wave makes models take a strength test on a D6 or take a wound, so useful against T3 4+ save troops certainly. Additionally morale checks caused by this weapon are taken at -2 LD. But mostly you want it for the haywire, which if attacking a squadron could hit multiple models if placed right.

===Graviton-Charge Cannon===
[[File:Graviton-Charge_Cannon.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Graviton-Charge Cannon]]
The Graviton's equivalent of the [[Plasma#Hellex Plasma Mortar|Hellex Plasma Mortar.]]

Graviton-Charge Cannon is the primary weapon found on the smol [[Legion Arquitor Bombard]] artillery tank. Despite the small size of the vehicle, the sheer size of that Graviton cannon allows this little sucker to fire weaponized gravity on an ''arc''.

What this means is that the Graviton-Charge Cannon could outright not only fire with no line of sight, but the sheer splash damage coming from that artillery piece is gonna give any fortifications a very bad day.

Unfortunately, the size of the Arquitor Bombard and the limited power needed to charge the Graviton-Charge Cannon, means that it has a disappointing short range for an artillery piece. Given the expanse required to make a Grav weapon in the [[Great Crusade]] let alone the 41st Millennium, along with the short range and piss-weak defences coming from such a smol tank, don't expect the Graviton-Charge Cannon to be used that often.

=== Grav Flux Bombard ===
[[File:Grav-Flux_Bombard.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Grav Flux Bombard]]
The Grav Flux Bombard is a type of heavy Graviton Weapon and it is fucking ECKS BAWKS HUEG.

Developed for unique use by the Leviathan Dreadnought, the Grav Flux Bombard is a short range siege weapon that is essentially the Grav version of a [[Awesome|Demolisher Cannon]]. A Leviathan Grav-flux Bombard creates a spiralling vortex of gravitation-torsion force, and is a fortress-breaching weapon which can reduce the toughest armour to twisted scrap and crush anything living beyond recognition. Additionally, the Grav Flux Bombard looks sweet as hell, by far one of the coolest looking toys in the Horus Heresy games.

Seriously this thing clears mobs of infantry like butter. Usually leaving behind an icky paste since they get crushed by the gravitational waves. <s>We just wish we could add this in the 41st millennium.</s> Now we can, and [[Heresy|it's even better than it used to be!]]

=== Graviton Imploder ===
[[File:Graviton_Imploder.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Graviton Imploder]]
The Graviton Imploder is a type of superheavy Graviton Weapon used by the Adeptus Mechanicus. It is one of the primary hull weapons used by the [[Macrocarid Explorator]]. It is a relatively rare weapon model-wise as the Macrocarid is no longer available on [[Forge World]] and not a lot of people use the model, rather opting for a [[Mauler Bolt Cannon]] for versatility.

The weapon was designed on the Forge World of Tigrus. Also called the 'Tank Crusher', it was a concentrated beam that created a collapsing grav-field which brought down kinetic force proportional to the density and mass of the material it struck. It thus proved effective against heavily armoured foes and vehicles. Crude and power-hungry, the design was deemed blasphemous by some Magos who saw it as a perversion of ancient patterns. However its capabilities proved invaluable during the [[Horus Heresy]].

On the [[Horus Heresy]] tabletop, these are the 40k grav-guns you're used to. Trouble with Terminators? Belial-led Deathwing got you down? Accept no substitute! These are Salvo 2/4 AP2 grav guns, so the roll to wound mirrors the armor save of the target, with 18" range. So now you can have it both ways. It has problems when faced with large blobs with poor/no armour, but those things are generally easily killed by everything else, so it balances out.

=== Graviton Singularity Cannon ===
[[File:Graviton_Singularity_Cannon_Titanicus.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Graviton Singularity Cannon]]
Okay okay, we may be cheating a little here, but this gun is so devastating it might as well be part of the Grav family rather then the Graviton family (And seriously, would anyone complain about the similarities?).

The Graviton Singularity Cannon is a type of Graviton Weapon used by Imperial Knights. This motherfucker as its name implies, shoots mother-fucking [[Awesome|<u>BLACK HOLES!</u>]] It makes the Eldar D-Cannons look fucking limp in comparison. The weapon is extremely effective against any target that is trapped in the singularity, however it is especially effective against vehicles, the more massive the better.

Of course this cannon is a violently destructive but potentially unstable and hazardous weapon to its user since every time it is fired there is the risk of the singularity collapsing, the Graviton Singularity Cannon is typically mounted on the [[Cerastus Knight Atrapos|Knight Atrapos.]]

=== Graviton Destructor ===
[[File:Graviton_Destructor_Reaver.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Graviton Destructor (Reaver)]]
The Graviton Destructor is a type of large Graviton Weapon mounted on [[Warhound Scout Titan|Imperial Warhound]] and [[Reaver Battle Titan|Reaver Titans.]] It is considered the smallest of the Titan-grade graviton weapons.

This advanced and highly destructive weapon system was much more common during the [[Horus Heresy]] than in the modern setting and had enough force to rip apart even enemy Titans. Reaver Graviton Destructors are mounted on the Titan's back, allowing the weapon to have a 360-degree firing arc. Warhound Destructors meanwhile are mounted as arm weapons.

It is found only on the [[Adeptus Titanicus]] tabletop and it is unknown if any still exist in the 41st millennium.

=== Graviton Ruinator ===
[[File:GravitonRuinator.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Graviton Ruinator]]
The oddly named Graviton Ruinator is a type of large Graviton Weapon mounted on [[Warlord Battle Titan|Imperial Warlord Titans.]] It is considered as the 'middle child' of Titan-grade Graviton weapons.

This advanced and highly destructive weapon system was much more common during the [[Horus Heresy]] than the modern setting, having enough force to rip even enemy Titans apart. Warlord Titans are able to mount two of these as arm weapons, although one is already enough to act as a potent anti-superheavy weapon. Sometimes, some men just want to make sure that ''that'' Titan is deader than [[Horus]] and [[Rape|mount two instead.]] Compared to the larger Krius Grav Imploder, the Graviton Ruinator has a longer and more accurate range to compensate for its weaker power.

It is found only on the [[Adeptus Titanicus]] tabletop and it is unknown if any still exist in the 41st millennium.

=== Krius Grav Imploder ===
[[File:GravImploder.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Krius Grav Imploder]]
The largest Grav-weapon to date and the more range-friendly version of the [[Miscellaneous Weapons#Krius Siege Drill|Krius Siege Drill]].

The Krius Grav Imploder is the Graviton Imploder's bigger and nastier father. They are mounted and exclusively used by [[Warmaster Iconoclast Heavy Battle Titan]]s.

However, these lost age weapons are barely understood by the Tech-Priests, who sanction their use. Through means unknown, the Imploders concentrate gravity into a beam that can effortlessly turn the mass of an enemy against itself. When used, they can turn Titans into a heap of molten slag or crumple a Knight like an empty tin of Corpse-Starch.

With how Graviton weapons work against a bigger target, this would be one of the most powerful and devastating of anti-Titan weapons, let alone anti-superheavy. Like the Krius Siege Drill, it has the claws and the in-built [[Melta Cannon]]s for twice the killy power.
