The '''Laser Destroyer''' is an [[Imperial]] [[laser weapon]] mounted primarily on the [[Destroyer Tank Hunter]], capable of destroying enemy tanks from long range. The Laser Destroyer however is a highly-complex system which all but a few [[Forge World]]s can no longer reproduce; even those who can create new ones must hand-craft each one through a painstakingly slow process. The result has been that these weapons and the vehicles which use them have become incredibly rare amongst the [[Imperial Guard]]. The chance of receiving any replacement for lost or destroyed models is very slim, often leading to recovered tank destroyers instead being fitted with another weapon.{{Fn|1b}}
During the invasion of [[Armageddon]], though, a number of [[Chimera]]s were refitted with Laser Destroyers and re-designated [[APDS-6a|APDS-6a 'Defenders' ]] as an effective stop-gap measure against the [[Orks]].{{Fn|1a}}
