RapieR CaRRieR with LaseR DestRoyeR

The Rapier Carrier is an automated weapons platform made mobile by an integral track drive system. Intended for frontline operations, Rapiers are more sturdily constructed than most field guns, with an armoured shield protecting them from small arms fire and requiring only a single crewman to operate. The Rapiers most singular feature is the presence of an inbuilt reactor which allows the carrier to mount diverse powerful energy weapons of various kinds, although a laser destroyer array a relatively rare weapon design dating back to the era of the Great Crusades it is almost exclusively found on examples in service in the 41st Millennium.

Laser Destroyer Array The laser destroyer is a powerful reactor-charged anti-tank weapon that uses multiple laser generators to fire staggered, nearsimultaneous blasts of energy focused on a single target point. This has the effect of boring through the densest armour in a series of powerful impacts micro-seconds apart, enabling the weapon to breach the most well-protected tank or shatter an armoured bulkhead in a single blazing volley. weapon Laser Destroyer Range 36" stR 9 ap 1 type Ordnance 1, Twin-linked

A Rapier Battery is a Heavy Support choice for a Codex Imperial Guard army or a Defenders of Vraks army (see Imperial Armour Volume Five). In addition a Rapier Battery may also be taken in a Death Korps of Krieg Siege Regiment army (see Imperial Armour Volume Five) as an Elites choice (in which case its crew have an identical profile to the Death Korps crewmen listed for the army at no additional cost).

explosive Demise Unlike other artillery, if the Rapier is destroyed by a Penetrating hit, roll a D6. On a 4+ it explodes, just as if it had been subject to the Explosion result on the Vehicle Damage chart.
