Imperium Portal

A laud-hailer,^[1a] or loud hailer,^[2] is a voice amplification device used in the Imperium.^[1a] Laud-hailers are often utilised in war as a type of psychological warfare "weapon".^[2]

Overview

Laud-hailers are often used by priests of the Adeptus Ministorum to increase the volume of their booming sermons of the Imperial Cult and God-Emperor. Their battle-gear sometimes incorporates laud-hailers so that their foes can hear the catechisms and curses being screamed at them, even on the noisiest battlefields.^[1a]

Like other Ministorum forces, Sisters of Battle use laud-hailers to emit proclamations of their righteous fury to strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy.^[2]

Known Patterns

The Faith-hailer model of the Holy Word Pattern is popular among missionaries, confessors, and preachers across the Moebian Domain.^[1b]
