Changes: Turbo-Laser Destructor

Revision as of 08:23, 24 February 2020

Mars Pattern Turbolaser — A Mars Pattern Turbo-Laser Destructor

The Turbo-Laser Destructor, also called a Turbolaser, is a much larger and very powerful version of a Lascannon.

It uses complex optical devices and heavy power input to amplify the laser beam into a wider, more potent beam of laser energy.

The beam carries enough punch to explosively vaporise its impact point in an area-of-effect blast.

Turbolaser Destructors are found on various war engines, such as Thunderhawk gunships and several classes of Titans, including Warhounds, Reavers and Warlord -class Titans.

Imperator-class Battle Titans also use Turbolaser Destructors as close defence weapons.

Notable Configurations

Single-Barreled - A single-barelled version of the Turbolaser is sometimes mounted on some patterns of Thunderhawk gunships utilised by the Adeptus Astartes.
Double-Barreled - The double-barelled version of the Turbolaser is the most common variant, utilised by Warhound-class Scout Titans. These weapons are also sometimes fitted to the carapace hard points of a larger Reaver-class Battle Titans and Warlord-class Battle Titans.

Laser Blaster

A Laser Blaster is essentially a triple-barreled Turbolaser mounted onto a single hard point. These weapons are commonly found on Reaver-class Battle Titans and Warlord-class Battle Titans.

An Imperator-class Titan can mount one or more Laser Blasters mounted on its massive carapace hard points.
