Editing Gauss (section)

=== Squat ===

The [[Squat]]s makes extensive use of railguns in the [[Leagues of Votann]], the majority of which rivals or just outright eclipses their Tau counterparts, because the Dorfs are just that good at making shit that lasts. Squats generally use railguns for more specialist units and vehicles due to the increase in maintenance and technical knowhow needed to make sure the weapons keeps on firing.

==== Magna-Rail Rifle ====

Whilst the Tau are busy designing the prototype of their shoddy Magna-Rail Rifle knock-offs that could only be fitted on a [[XV88 Broadside Battlesuit]], the Leagues are already mass producing these things millennia before the Tau even existed.

The League's Magna-Rail Rifle is designed as the primary sniper rifle of the Squats and is small and compact enough that it does not need an external powersource or a mech suit to power it up. The Squat's extensive knowledge and experience in rare magnetic materials make sure that the League holds all the good shit. If the similar development relationship between the Tau and the Squats in regards to this weapon is certain, then it is possible that the history of the Magna-Rail Rifle is similar to the Tau's own relationship with Ion weapons vis-a-vis the Squats.

So whenever the Tau manages to get their Magna-Rail Rifles working, it would already be several generations behind that of the League. [[Just As Planned]].

On the tabletop, this translates to a 24" HunTR 1, S9 AP-4 Dd3+3 sniper rifle, and has the Magna-Rail keyword. [[Rape|Everything ridiculous about Tau railguns turned up to 11 and in a troop-portable package]]. Fills a similar role to the high strength/low shot weapons seen in other armies such as melta-guns and las cannons.

==== Magna-Coil Autocannon ====

The similarly named Magna-Coil Autocannon is another weapon used by the Leagues.

Unlike the majority of the weapons listed here which are railguns and [[Pretend|''especially'']] unlike the Necrons which is anything [[Bullshit|<u>BUT</u> Gauss.]] The Magna-Coil is a true gauss gun, with a capital G in its name. This coilgun is the primary weapon of the [[Magna-Coil Bike]]s and is mounted on the front of the vehicle. It features a drum magazine and fires bolts travelling at adjustable speed depending on the number of coils it is powering up.

Crunchwise, the weapon is a 24", HunTR 3, S 7, AP-1, D2 gun. Really fucking nasty against MEQs and TEQs and can even do a number on tanks if enough is landed on it. A single round of three Pioneers can quite realistically delete your entire Space Marine squad if its wants too. So yeah, not to be fucked with.

==== Heavy Magna-Rail Cannon ====

The Magna-Rail Rifle's beefier cousin.

The Heavy Magna-Rail Cannon is a type of heavy Rail Weapon used by Leagues of Votann [[Hekaton Land Fortress|Hekaton Land Fortresses.]] Seriously, think of everything already said about the rifle, and now [[Powergamer|dail-up the dial-up to 180, and you have a monster of a railweapon.]] These [[Cheese|heavy beef cheesecakes]] are pound-for-pound the most powerful railguns for its size. Tau players eat your heart out.

Crunchwise, the tabletop kind of fits the fluff. This is the daddy of the Magna-Rail Rifle held by the Hearthkyn and probably the most dangerous single weapon in your arsenal. This is a [[Rape|36" Heavy 1, S14 AP-4 D2d3+6 monster with Magna-Rail, and will likely ruin the day of anything it's pointed at.]]
