    The Defence Laser is a massive weapon mounted on static platforms that is powerful enough to engage targets in low orbit. It fires blinding red laser blasts that can breach a planet's atmosphere. Even a glancing hit can drive off ships up to cruiser-class once their shields are down. As an Imperium unit, the Defence Laser has 13 points of frontal armour and can neutralize enemy orbital support with a successful hit using its Orbital Cannon special rule.

    DEFENCE LASER

    POINTS: 350

    The Imperium has long relied on sophisticated laser


    technology to engage the truly monstrous opponents that
    assail it from all sides. Though the lascannon may be potent
    enough in the field and well suited to the destruction of
    enemy armour, when a planet is beleaguered by alien
    behemoths or hostile attack craft only one weapon in the
    Imperiums arsenal is truly up to the task.
    The Defence Laser is a monstrous engine of destruction so
    large that it can usually only be mounted upon static

    platforms. The largest Defence Lasers use vast reservoirs of


    energy, blacking out power grids for miles around each
    time they fire. The blinding red blasts unleashed by a
    Defence Laser are so powerful that they can breach the
    atmosphere of a planet and engage targets in low orbit,
    making the weapon invaluable for repelling alien invasions.
    Even a glancing blow from a Defence Laser can be enough
    to drive off anything up to a cruiser-class ship once its
    shields are down.

    WEAPON

    Dutys Fist, the Defence Laser that


    towers over the west gate of
    Bellephon, was a miracle of dark
    age technology. The Fist could
    reroute the power of the entire
    metropolis into one almighty laser
    blast. When fired in this manner
    Dutys Fist had the capacity to
    smash a Titan into a thousand
    pieces, and even engage targets in
    orbit above the planet. During the
    battle for Bellephon upon Thesus
    Reach, Dutys Fist exchanged fire
    with the Planet Killer, Abaddon the
    Despoilers personal flagship.
    Though it forced the Planet Killer
    into evasive manouvres it was
    eventually disabled by a mighty
    Greater Daemon of Tzeentch, and
    its defenders were torn apart by a
    one-man assault by Khrn the
    Betrayer, champion of Khorne.
