Arachnus Magna-Blaze Cannon
The Arachnus Magna-Blaze Cannon was a heavy weapon used by the Custodian Guard during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
The ultimate variant of Blaze Cannon, the Arachnus Magna-Blaze Cannon was one of the most potent energy weapons used by Humanity and one of the most jealously guarded secrets of the Custodes. However such incredible firepower came at great cost, for the housing needed to protect and keep cool the release of such tremendous energy pulses is so resource intensive that all of the wealth of a noble family of Terra could be consumed just firing one shot. To this end, to make use of the Arachnus Magna-Blaze Cannon, it must be cooled by heat dissipation engines such as those mounted within atmospheric re-entry cargo apacecraft. It was most commonly seen on the Ares Gunship.[1]
