[[Image:Lantern.jpg|thumb|right|The Lantern]]
The '''Lantern''' was the name of an energy pistol used by the [[Death Guard]] [[Primarch]] [[Mortarion]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}. Even after ascending to [[Daemonhood]], Mortarion still wielded the Lantern and continues to do so ten millennia later in the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]].{{Fn|2}}
==Overview==
The Lantern was capable of firing powerful energy blasts that disintegrated living beings. Rather then sully his [[Manreaper]] with the blood of the [[Jorgall]] [[Xenos]], Mortation instead made extensive use of the Lantern to kill his enemies on their world cylinder ship.{{Fn|3b}}
