===Æther-Fire Cannon===
[[File:AetherFireCannonProfile.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Æther-Fire Cannon]]
A Plasma-ish weapon that doesn't seem to settle on whether it wants to be called "Æther-Fire" or "Æther-Flame".

Either way, the Æther-Fire Cannon is an option for the [[Castellax-Achea Class Battle-Automata|Castellax-Achea Battle-Automata]] to take instead of the usual [[Mauler Bolt Cannon]] loaded with psychoreactive toxins (''also known as nerve agents''). While the Castellax-Achea itself was developed by a Forge World with a Chaos Dwarfs-ish name, Zhao-Arkhad, the Æther-Fire Cannon is a later development by the Techmarine artificers of the Pyrae Cult – Bright Wizards of the Thousand Sons. This obviously modified Plasma weapon was developed with occult lore as well as the unique "techno-arcana" of the aforementioned Zhao-Arkhad. Aside from the psychic robots, Thousand Sons who happen to carry a Plasma Cannon may switch to this Æther-Fire Cannon instead.

On the tabletop, the Æther-Fire Cannon basically adds ten points of Soul Blaze to a Plasma Cannon. If this is bought, all such guns in the unit must be upgraded in the same manner. Although it is nice of them to push the under-used Soul Blaze rule, a whole squad of 5+ Plasma Cannons is likely going to erase or cripple anything remotely susceptible to Soul Blaze anyway. Given that a whole squad of Plasma-Cannoneers will fork out 100pts for what is basically a one or three of Bolter hits a turn... [[Derp|you can see why Soul Blaze is under-used in the first place]]. If you've got a Castellax-Achea rolling around with 15pts to spare, you might want to consider this.

It is unknown whether the present Thousand Sons still have this psychic-Plasma Cannon at their disposal, or what kind of work a thousands of years in the Warp has done to it.
