===Pulse Driver Cannon=== [[File:PulseDriverCannon.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Pulse Driver Cannon]] Pioneered by the finest of Tau's Earth Caste weapons scientists, this XBAWXHUEG Pulse Driver Cannon mounted on the KV128 Stormsurge Battlesuit is a weapon so massive in size and power consumption, it can only be borne to battle by a dedicated artillery suit that carries another generator dedicated to the damn thing. Emitting a deep bass thrum that rises in pitch as its particle accelerator relays spool up β that is, the circular thing by the base of the cannon β the cannon builds up force enough to level a building before the volley is released. Once the pent-up energies are let fly, an incandescent beam of blinding intensity stabs out with a buzzing roar. Anything in its path is obliterated in a column of superheated Plasma, cast into its component atoms as if a solar flare had lashed from the heart of a sun to scour them from history in one terrifying second. And do not disregard the name, this thing drives its Pulses pretty far with its Pulse accelerators, really far. The phenomenal amount of heat generated in that process is emitted through huge heat sinks built into the weapon. The Pulse Driver Cannon was originally developed in response to the gargantuan war engines of the Orks. In the latter stages of the Arkunasha War a stationary prototype mounted on the Argap Plateau sent searing columns of white force through the guts and torsos of Ork war effigies time and time again. In recent decades the weapon's deadly power has been matched instead against the Titans of the Imperium; though these boast far more sophisticated technologies than the walkers used by the Ork race, the result of a sustained barrage from a Pulse Driver Cannon has proven to be much the same. On the tabletop, it goes way overboard with its firepower, launching [[Rape|S10 AP2 pie-plates]] with enough range to hit anywhere on the board unless you play Apocalypse. On top of that, as it is mounted on top of a very high platform, it always has the high ground advantage. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;"| Gallery |- |<gallery class="center"> PulseDriverCannonBack.jpg|<center>Back View</center> PulseDriverCannonOpened.jpg|<center>Plasma Coils</center> PulseDriverCannonPict.jpg|<center>Pict Capture</center> </gallery> |} | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {{40k-Ranged-Weapon-Profile-7-8|r7=72"|s7=10|ap7=2|type7=Ordnance 1, Large Blast|r8=72"|s8=10|ap8=-3|d8=D6|type8=Heavy D6}} |} |} |} </center>
