Imagine a Las-Impulsor fitted on a Baneblade chassis, or the reverse if you have been around since before the Impulsor was introduced.

The Volcano Cannon's smaller brother, the Magma Cannon is a heavy Titan-killing weapon utilized on the Doomhammer Super Heavy Tanks of the Imperial Guard. The Doomhammer's Magma Cannon lacks the range and area of effect of its larger cousin, but it is still more than able to turn an enemy formation to dust and can even take on smaller Titans if needed.

At the same time however, the reduced number of capacitors needed to power the weapon allows the Doomhammer to transport infantry, thus giving the tank a more flexible battlefield role, an IFV with a big gun as opposed to a dedicated Tank Destroyer.

Hence, where a Shadowsword armed with the Volcano Cannon can easily operate as a lone Titan hunter, the Doomhammer must be supported by other elements of the Imperial Guard in order to bring a Titan down. Also, the Magma Cannon does not require the tank's engine to be stopped to fire, granting the Doomhammer the required mobility to bracket smaller targets and obliterate them

On tabletop, the Magma Cannon is a [[Rape|60" Heavy 2d6 S10 AP-5 D1d6, Ignores Cover Saves, Melta Damage.]] Oh yes you heard that right, a 60" superheavy Melta weapon, sure it might have a shorter range than other weapons of its category. But still, a S10 Melta weapon that is 60" would ruin the day of most vehicles and infantry blobs in a single turn.
