Magma Cannon

A brutal war machine that vomits a torrent of molten rock across the field, immolating knights in their saddles and cooling over the dead like glass.

The Magma Cannon is one of the signature horrors of the Chaos Dwarf arsenal, a squat and brutal war machine that vomits a torrent of molten rock across the battlefield. Its barrel is bound with daemonic runes that conjure fire hotter than any forge, and when it discharges, a searing wave of liquid stone pours over the enemy, setting men and monsters alight and cooling over the dead like a shroud of glass.

There is no armour it respects and little cover it cannot simply pour around. A single blast can immolate a rank of knights in their saddles or reduce a war-beast to a smoking, half-melted ruin, and the crews — hobgoblin loaders labouring under a dawi-zharr gunner's cruel eye — feed and fire it with the grim efficiency of workers at a furnace. The Magma Cannon embodies the whole cold philosophy of Zharr-Naggrund: that anything living is merely raw material, and that fire, applied in sufficient quantity, resolves every problem the empire has ever faced.
