Colossus Bomb

The Colossus Bomb is a Melta-based weapon that is used as the primary armament by the Aeronautica Imperialis' Marauder Colossus high-altitude strategic bomber.

The Colossus Bomb features a diamantine armour-penetrating tip, a mass reactive fuse, and an internal Melta warhead, all of which is backed up with 10,000 kilograms of high explosives. The bomb features a guidance system that is controlled from the aircraft that guides it to its target accurately, adjusting its tail fins until the moment of contact.

The bomb's diamantine armour-penetrating tip allows it to penetrate through thick armour plating, rockcrete, and ferrocrete before its mass-reactive fuse detonates once it's inside of its target.

The Colossus Bomb's Melta warhead is capable of destroying heavily armoured targets while the extra 10,000 kilograms of high explosives reduces anything left in an explosion whose yield is equal to that of a small, tactical nuclear blast.

The weapon has been used by the Imperial Navy's air division as an effective Titan killer, since a direct hit from the bomb will result in catastrophic damage to any target, including god-machines and super-heavy tanks such as the Baneblade and Shadowsword.

The Marauder Colossus' bomb-bay is modified from the standard design so that the bomb is able to fit, which requires the removal of both the bomb-bay doors and the ability to mount a dorsal-turret.
