'''Ion Weapons''' are advanced [[Tau]] and [[Leagues of Votann]] weapons that fire high-energy streams of ions at a target. These streams can vaporize flesh and metal with equal ease. Tau Ion weapons can be overcharged to generate a devastating attack, but doing so risks overheating its primary power cell.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}
Ion Weapons are proscribed by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], but the [[Squat]]s of the [[Leagues of Votann]] were known to share their secrets of the technology with the Tau, however the Leagues still keep the most advanced examples of these weapons to themselves.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
