Plasma Decimator
The Plasma Decimator is a type of heavy weapon employed by the Imperial Knight Castellan.[1]
Overview
A plasma decimator is capable of bathing swathes of the battlefield in searing energies and reducing the enemy to glowing ash. Castellan pilots become adept at regulating the flow of plasmic energy from their dual cores to this potent weapon, even risking angering the machine spirits in order to unleash an especially ferocious blast should the situation demand it.[2a]
Variants
Cawl's Wrath
After he resurfaced at the end of M41, Archmagos Cawl unveiled a special and unique singular plasma decimator. Its machine spirit's data-shackles and enhanced containment fields allow this decimator to generate even more lethal volumes of energy than a simple example of such a weapon. This new decimator weapon was proudly named Cawl's Wrath in the honour of its creator.[2b]
Ectoplasma Decimator
Ectoplasma Decimators are Chaos-corrupted versions of the plasma decimator used by Chaos Knight Tyrants. It combines standard plasma technology with warp magicks and infernal daemonic ichor to eradicate the soul of their targets in addition to their physical form.[3]
