{{cite}}The '''Vanquisher Cannon''' is a more complex variant of the [[Battle cannon]] mounted on the [[Leman Russ Vanquisher]]. The technology Vanquisher cannons have superior accuracy, range and first-hit kill ratios compared to other cannons and are designed to create Vanquisher Cannons fire specialised anti-tank rounds.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Such is held by only a few the power of the cannon and its ammunition they can even penetrate the thick armour found on [[Forge WorldTitan]]s, including {{Fn|1}} such as puncturing the neck of a [[Gryphonne IV]] and [[Stygies VIIIReaver Battle Titan]]. Its most obvious feature is that it is almost twice as long as the standard Battle Cannon. It uses specialised armour-piercing shells to take down enemy tanks from afar. {{Fn|3}}

The While it was originally produced on the [[Forge World]] [[Leman Russ VanquisherTigrus]], the loss of that planet forced the [[Adeptus Mechanicus] is often used as ] to try and recreate this cannon. Both [[Gryphonne IV]] and [[Stygies VIII]] succeeded in creating their own versions of the weapon, albeit using different methods. Stygies VIII cannons achieve superior shell velocity, and consequently accuracy, through the use of a command tank, where smaller-calibre shell without rifling. However despite the use of secret knowledge to improve the veteran crewgun's experience can make stabilisation and recoil dampening, reports from tank crews in the best use field indicate the increased barrel movement counteracts this accuracy with follow-on shots. Gryphonne IV guns meanwhile generate their shell velocity through the immense length of the weapontheir barrels.{{Fn|1}}
