Particle Shredder (Imperial)

This article is about the Imperial Weapon; for the Necron weapon, see Particle Shredder.

The Particle Shredder was a type of Imperial weapon used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. This arcane weapon sprayed a spread of supercharged particles that stripped the enemy down atom by atom.^[4]

Particle Shredders were sometimes mounted on the Disruption Fists of Saturnine Terminators.^[1] An enlarged version dubbed the Heavy Particle Shredder is sometimes mounted on the torso of the Saturnine Dreadnought.^[3]
