Tesla Cannon

A Tesla Cannon is a form of Necron Tesla Weapon that unleashes a bolt of living lightning that crackles from foe to foe after hitting its target, charring flesh and melting armour. Tesla bolts feed off the energy released by the destruction, and the lightning discharge becomes more furious with every fresh arc. These weapons have been code-named by the Imperium after the ancient Terran scientist Nikola Tesla, who was the first human known to experiment with this type of weapons technology; although the Necrons had perfected it long before humans even existed. A Tesla Cannon is a large Tesla Weapon only found mounted as a secondary weapon underneath Catacomb Command Barges and Annihilation Barges. Tesla Cannons are powerful weapons that are most effective against infantry squads and light vehicles.
