A '''bombardment cannon''' is a classification of weapon found almost exclusively on [[Space Marine Fleet]] vessels. They are mounted on the dorsal of [[Battle Barge]]s.

The cannon consists of a turret-mounted linear accelerator that fires magma bomb warheads of much higher calibre than regular [[torpedo]]es at a much higher velocity. Its primary function is planetary bombardment, which is used in support of [[Space Marine]] landing forces. This suits the battle tactics of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] quite efficiently. Thus a single vessel can bombard an area of planet, then immediately deploy [[drop-pod]]s containing [[battle-brother]]s to mop up the confused opposition. It can be used in ship-to-ship combat to great effect. The high power of the warheads will literally render armour plating irrelevant, and can tear an enemy vessel to shreds in mere moments.
