===Thermal Cannon===
[[File:KnightErrantThermalCannon.png|200px|right|thumb|Thermal Cannon]]
This thing here is the Magna-Melta on steroids, or a bigger Thermal Spear with a rather distinctive shroud, should you prefer your descriptions more direct.

The Thermal Cannon is a large Melta weapon carried by the combat walkers of either the Questor Imperialis, the Questor Mechanicus, or the Questor Traitoris; the Imperial Knights, the Mechanicum Knights, and the Renegade Knights respectively. Chassis-wise, the Thermal Cannon is installed on the all-round Questoris class as the primary weapon of the Knight Errant, and the secondary weapon of the Knight Crusader. It is one of those weapons that can make even the most battle-hardened enemies have an [[Anal circumference|anal evacuation]], for such a weapon is capable of immolating most things in a wide radius, and probably effectively everything should it is fired at a closer range. The hissing blasts from a Thermal Cannon can melt through a fortress wall or turn a battle tank into a pile of bubbling slag. Against infantry, entire hordes can be reduced to a blackened shadow. Against vehicles, there is no armor that offers any proof against the Thermal Cannon's super-heated shots with the exception of armor found on larger Titan walkers. Outside of Knights, the Thermal Cannon is probably about the size to be mounted as the main gun for bigger tanks such as the Macharius, or even the Malcador. As of now, aside from the Mastodon, the only Melta tanks so far are smaller ones based on the Chimera and the Deimos Predator chassis.

All in all, for Knight Scions looking to up their anti-armor game, the Thermal Cannon delivers, turning enemy infantry into a pile of ash surrounding a liquefied hole and melting tanks to slag (if ammo/fuel detonations don't blow them first).

====''Fury of Mars''====
[[File:KnightErrantThermalCannonRed.png|200px|right|thumb|''Fury of Mars'' (''Placeholder'')]]
Being the oldest Knight House in the Imperium of Man has its benefits which include good gear from the cogboys.

This remarkable weapon channels the fires of the Red Planet’s hottest forges, eradicating its victims even at extreme range. Deciphering the flowery language, it probably means the ''Fury of Mars'' is very high in quality. It was made on Mars, why wouldn't it? And since it is House Taranis we're talking about, there's a decent chance for this particular Thermal Cannon here to be pretty, pretty old. Remember, House Taranis is the Dark Angels of the Imperial Knights, or Horus Lupercal if we're looking by Primarchs since other Knight Houses were more or less "discovered" as well; the difference for the latter (''or possibly both'') is that House Taranis, though Mechanicum-aligned, is a loyalist. The ''Fury of Mars'' could have been so old that it was still hot out of the production line when the Unification Wars were still raging on Terra. Age aside, it is said that to face the ''Fury of Mars'' is to be subjected to the killing ire of the Omnissiah himself, and to be struck down without mercy. This Thermal Cannon is no different in terms of general capabilities compared to the standard breed. The only noticeable difference here apart from being really old and exclusive to House Taranis Knights who have Thermal Cannons on one arm or the other is the fact that it goes as far as a Reaver Melta Cannon (''of the current edition'') can go.

That is probably a good summary for the weapon – a Titan-grade Melta Cannon (''where only range is concerned'') at the size for a Questoris Knight.
