	'''Phosphor Weapons''' (Gee, try and guess what kind of chemical it fires...) are an ancient and very deadly form of unique weapon utilised by the armed forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus.

	Like the smaller Phosphor Blaster, the Heavy Blaster is fed through a ammo-belt system. However, it can either be housed in a box-magazine, a sickle-magazine or, if it is large enough, an internal magazine.

	Crunchwise, if you thought the regular Phosphor Blaster was bad, this thing not only takes the cake, it fucks the baker's newlywed spouse as well. On the tabletop it is a ~~decend~~ all rounder, 36" Heavy 3 S6 AP2 for fucking Guard over (wounding on 2s and ignoring saves completely), and it ignores cover. Probably the best Luminagen gun. It can be argued to be overcosted however, being still only D1.

	On the tabletop, generally speaking, Phosphor Weapons have the same strength and AP of a Heavy Bolter, but only single shot. Any wounds or hull points caused on a target will light them up like a christmas tree and reduce their cover save for the rest of the turn. Also makes them easier to charge at by letting you re-roll the charge range. Note: The phosphor pistol and serpenta hit harder and pierce armor better than bolters, in addition to lighting targets up.

	Phosphor is designed to replace Phosphex weapons. Phosphex weapons shot (or sprayed, or exploded into) a living green flame that would move across the battlefield faster than a man could run. This same green flame would hunt down victims and burn them to death and if they came across a building, tank, or power armor would concentrate at weak points such as seals, joints, or optics and burn through them like a high tech thermite. The flame could not be extinguised, not even by the cold vacuum of space, and could rush across water.

1d4chan>Ow, My Sanity.: Re-worded some paragraphs. Removed the "Well ackshually they should still know how to make Phosphex" line, since canon is very specific that the STC was the only source of it (presumably, the admech don't understand how to replicate it).

	If those struck by the burning spheres fired by these weapons are not killed by the initial trauma, they are soon felled by the light-guided volley that follows. Phosphor Weapons range from the hand-held Serpenta favoured by many Tech-priests, to the Heavy Phosphor Blaster mounted upon Onager Dunecrawlers. The burning white spheres that shoot out from Phosphor Weapons cling tenaciously to their targets, sizzling wildly as they melt into flesh or burrow through armour and exoskeleton alike. More often than not, it is these ~~luminagenic~~ orbs that deal the death blow. Even if a target proves tough enough to survive the burning pain, the phosphorescent glow these spheres exude can guide an ally's volley to strike the same target.
