Melta

This article is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

The meltagun is a short range weapon, designed to take out heavy armour, used by The Imperium. They can fuck up a vehicle like none other. Though suited towards tank hunting, the Meltagun is a weapon good for all-around attack, defence and infiltration, though it falls short in terms of range. Infiltration with this can take vehicles out of the fight before they even have a chance to fire their weapon...... is that how the baneblades were lost?

Imperial Meltagun Variants

Several variants of the meltagun are employed by the Imperium.

While the most notable variant is the Melta gun itself, there are several more types of Imperial Melta than this infantry-portable variant. The Multi-Melta is eccentially two Meltaguns strapped together and supercharged, and in game terms only doubles the (already sucky) range and makes it a heavy weapon. This thing is still beastly and tears appart single targets, vehicles or otherwise, but are so huge that only Spees Mahreens and the Nuns with Guns can lift and move them by hand. It should be noted that Sisters of Battle love Melta weapons and, if given the chance, would only ever carry these things and Flamers.

The Imperial Guard felt left out, and decided to strap two Multi-Meltas together and show up the Sisters by making the Melta Cannon, an EKS BAWKS HUEG Melta weapon strapped to the Devil Dog Hellhound variant. This thing dumps small blasts worth of Multi-Melta statline upon anything it deems unlucky today, and is one of the best ways of dealing with Terminators. Also, not a plasma weapon Matt Ward. Some Witch Hunters get to use Inferno Pistols, rare Melta-pistols with a range so small you would have more opportunities to perform a root canal on your enemy in the middle of battle than use them. Still, those big-hatted pastors love nothing more than the look on your face when they one-shot your Leman Russ.

Also, the Caestus Assault Ram uses this goofy Melta-drill doohicky to cut into spaceships and board them. Its also uses it to cut into every unit and evaporate them.

Filthy Xenos Variants

Eldar employ the use of Fusion Guns, Fusion Pistols and Fire Pikes. These things are like more snipery versions of Meltaguns, Inferno Pistols and Multi-Meltas respectively. Unlike the Sisters of Battle, these usually come stardard and in full-squad compliment. These things are also a great way for Fire Dragons to compensate.

The Weaboos use Fusion Blasters, which are eccentially dinky Multi-Meltas.
