A Balistus Grenade Launcher of the Adeptus Custodes
A Balistus Grenade Launcher is a type of Grenade Launcher used by the warriors of the Adeptus Custodes whose grenades excel at piercing armour.
These Grenade Launchers are fed by a drum mechanism that can be triggered by its Custodian users with but a thought, spitting salvoes of sanctified projectiles in saturation patterns through ranks of the enemy.
Balistus Grenade Launchers are also capable of launching Concussion Grenades that explode amidst blows of electroexorcist chaff and overwhelming sound and light. Enemies subjected to these barrages are sent reeling, their weapons and equipment falter, their senses rebelling against the onslaught as they spasm in pain.
Notable Balistus Grenade Launchers[]
- Obliteratum - The Obliteratum is a dreaded Balistus Grenade Launcher that incorporates several forbidden technologies whose possession would be death to any Imperial servants beyond the Adeptus Custodes. It fires concentrated antimatter, compressed within splinterglass canisters that shatter upon impact and cause the Obliteratum's victims to vanish in terrifying eruptions of nothingness.
