==Squat Ion Weapons==
You want to know where the [[Tau|Weeaboos]] got their Ion weapons, now you know.
===Ion Pistol===
[[File:Ion_Pistol_Side_Model.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Ion Pistol]]
The Ion Pistol is the smallest Ion weapon issued by the [[Leagues of Votann]].

These pistols pretty much contain the power of an Ion Blaster in a more compact and pistol-whipping form at the expanse of maximum effective range. Used only by [[Theyn]]s of a [[Hearthkyn Warrior]] squad, the Ion Pistol is effectively like having a near lightspeed [[EtaCarn Plasma Pistol]] without the risk of residue plasma burns being washed back into your face.

Crunchwise on the tabletop, the Ion Pistol is, in a nutshell, a pocket-sized Ion Blaster at 12" S5 AP-2 D2. Comes somewhat close to the Ion Blaster's range, so it's not a bad choice to give to your Theyns if you've gone all in on Ion.

===Ion Blaster===
[[File:IonBlaster.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Ion Blaster]]
The Ion Blaster is one of the standard-issue weapons used by the [[Leagues of Votann]].

Orders of magnitude more advance, compact and powerful than their shoddy knock-off counterparts used by the Tau. The Ion Blaster is an assault weapon-type plasma weapon that fires repeated ionised particles at near light-speed. Funnily enough, whilst the League, specifically the [[Demiurg|Seran-Tok Mercantile League]] do trade with the Tau, the Squats deliberately gave the Tau their second-hand junk material whilst keeping most of their goodies for themselves.

On the tabletop, the Ion Blaster is an 18" HunTR 1, S5 AP-2 D2. A 1 point upgrade for Hearthkyn, bumping their ppm to 12. Tailor-made for wrecking power armour of almost any variety, but the single shot is a bit underwhelming.

===Ion Beamer===
[[File:Ion_Beamer.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Ion Beamer]]
The Ion Beamer is the EtaCarn Plasma Beamer's Ion cousin.

This supped-up Ion weapon is mounted as one the primary weapons of the [[Magna-Coil Bike]]s and one of the secondary weapons for your [[Hekaton Land Fortress]]. Like the Plasma Beamer, the Ion Beamer acts as a 'drill'; boring its way through armoured vehicles as easily as the boulders it was originally intended for.

On tabletop, these are an alternative upgrade for your Pioneers and Land Fortresses, this is a souped-up Ion Blaster with the Beam keyword, HunTR 2 and 2 extra strength. Might be a viable pick, since Pioneers can easily get into a position where they'll take full advantage of Beam weapons. A Land Fortress can replace either 2 or all 4 of their Bolt Cannons with these for oodles of laser-spewing death.

===Cyclic Ion Cannon===
[[File:CyclicIonCannon.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Cyclic Ion Cannon]]
No. Despite the name, they are in no way related to the [[Tau]]'s [[Cyclic Ion Blaster]] or [[Cyclic Ion Raker]]. Although knowing the Squats, they might as well be where those aforementioned [[Weeaboo]] [[Original character, do not steal|weapons came from.]]

One of the largest known Dorf Ion weapons. The Cyclic Ion Cannon is a type of heavy Ion Weapon used by the [[Leagues of Votann]]. They are known to be mounted on the [[Hekaton Land Fortress]] as one of its primary weapons. The weapon unleashes high-powered blasts that can make [[Terminator Armour]] look to be as effective as [[Flak Armour]].

Crunchwise, this monster Ion Blaster is 24" Heavy 3d3, S8 AP-2 D2 with Blast. The default primary weapon of the Land Fortress, this is tailor-made to ruin a Space Marine's day. Though remember [[Bullshit|Armor of Contempt]] makes them noticeably less effective at their job.
