The Distortion Cannon or D-Cannon is an Eldar heavy support weapon.
A D-Cannon uses small warp engines to create a temporary hole between warp and real space on the battlefield.1 This warp-space rift is then projected towards an enemy. Anything it touches is torn momentarily from real space. Although the target is not forced into warp space for more than a fraction of a second, the immense wrenching force exerted on them in that time will dismember all but the strongest of targets, and cripple most vehicles.
A side effect of the actual rift itself is a distorting effect on the physical space the warp will have. As a consequence objects and people will often be 'pulled' towards the rift or 'dragged' along in its wake as it travels. Items that travel in this way will not actually move as such, but the place they were originally will be folded to the place where their destination is, such is the effect warp space has on reality.
