A Melta Cutter is a Melta Weapon designed to unleash a potent beam of thermal energy capable of cutting through most known materials. They are used as tools by the Imperium in various construction projects, but can also be deployed in vehicles like the Termite, where they are used in conjunction with phase-shield generators and huge, heavy-bore physical drills to chew through the ground beneath the foe to emerge behind the lines or in the heart of enemy fortifications.
