Doomsday Cannon (Imperial)
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Doomsday Cannon is a type of Macrocannon mounted on the Capitol Imperialis[1a] and the Leviathan.[2]
Description
The Doomsday Cannon fires ten-yard long shells and can be heard from fifty miles away.[3] It is capable of destroying a Titan in a single shot[1a] and vaporising a five hundred metre long section of a city wall in a huge mushroom cloud, leaving a crater of vitrified glass in its wake. The impact also produces auspex-distorting thermal firestorm and low-grade electromagnetic pulses.[1b]
