Lascutters are a powerful but extremely unwieldy type of Laser Weapon. Originally industrial tools used for cutting through armoured bulkheads and dense ores, these weapons make use of disruption field-assisted short range laser arcs. They were later utilized for warfare, being used in sieges where they were able to breach enemy fortifications and, if necessary, become devastating close-quarters weapons.

Only Breachers can take them in the Horus Heresy game. In Horus Heresy 2.0, Lascutter stats have been fixed to work like other las weapons. Now, they're ''Exotic Weapons'' instead of ''Las weapons''.
They're still shitty at melee but that's not why you're taking them. Lascutters are now 8 inches, Assault 1, S10, Ap 1 with ''Armorbane(Ranged)''. Making them better than [[Meltagun]]s and a viable alternative to [[Graviton_weapons|Graviton guns]]. Meltaguns need to be at 6 inches to get their anti vehicle bonus. This may seem uncomfortably close but they pair well with [[Volkite Charger]]s. The original Space Marine energy gun. So now your Breacher troops can crack open [[Land Raider]]s while driving around in a [[Land Raider]]. Their melee profile has been nerfed to S7 while still having the ''Cumbersome'' and ''Unwieldy'' rules. Breachers shouldn't be participating in assaults anyways.

Now Astartes don't have inferior weapons to Genestealers & other humanoid or xeno-terrorists. Lascutters stats currently paint them as proper precursors to [[Mining Laser]]s and [[Heavy Mining Laser|heavy variants]] they should be.

In 9E they can be taken by Elysian Drop Troops. They use the outdated profile with no ranged attacks and only one melee hit. Where you don't want them to be. So use Special or Heavy Weapon options and cross your fingers if you want them to be like their 30k counterparts instead of pieces of shit.
