Eldar Portal

Warp Cannons are Asuryani weapons, that fire potent bolts of psychic energy and they are the main armament of the Phantom Seer Wraith-constructs.^[1] Blackstone Fortresses have a form of warp cannon that is exponentially larger and more advanced than those used by the Aeldari.^[2]

Description

They can be used in either Splinter or Focus mode, which changes how the Warp Cannons operate. Splinter mode has a shorter range, but it allows Warp Cannons to fire three blasts, before they must be recharged with psychic energy. Focus mode meanwhile, has a longer range, but it can only fire one shot before the weapons must be recharged. Regardless of the mode, though, the Warp Cannons' bolts are sent through a series of internal prisms before they are unleashed, which amplifies their blasts.^[1]
