Necrons are a race that I feel could have something like an Armageddon Gun.
Was thinking about it and came out with something like this:
Holocaust Cannon/Projector
Str: 1
Range: 60 cm
Fire Arc: Front Only
Damage: D6
Rules:
The Necron Holocaust Projector/Cannon works along the same principle as the Lightning Arcs and Gauss Paricle Whips. The stored Solar Energy is released, however, not like the forest of living energy of the Lightning Arcs but boosted by advanced capacitors and relays and channeled along the same magnetic field used in the Gauss Particle Whips but in a wider yet still focused, efficient and devastating manner.
Use the NC template and move it directly ahead 60 cm. If the hole at the center of the template passes over a ship's base, foes only, that target suffers D6 automatic hits. Outer template has no effect except in a conjunction with a Sepulchre to be explained below. Shields and holofields work as normal except if a 6 is rolled, upon which shields and holofields don't offer protection anymore. After firing, the Holocaust Projector needs to build up a charge again and must use the Reload Ordnance orders before it can be fired again.
Holocaust Projector/Cannon cannot fire when mothership is on Come To New Heading, All Ahead Full, Burn Retros and Brace For Impact Special Orders. Lock On Orders allow player to re-roll the damage but second roll stands even if the result is lower.
Holocaust Projector/Cannon in conjunction with Sepulchre
If a Sepulchre is present, it can work in conjunction with the Holocaust Projector/Cannon by channeling a focused psychic attack through the Projector. This is where the outer template comes in. It is the area of effect of the Sepulchre. Any ship touched by the outer template (as well as the inner hole) suffers an Ld penalty of -1 the next time it attempts a Special Order or leadership check. The effect will last until the end of the target player's next turn.
Holocaust Projector/Cannon in Exterminatus
A Necron ship with the Holocaust Projector/Cannon does not need to replace the prow weapon in the Exterminatus scenario. The Necron ship with the Holocaust Projector/Cannon does not have to go into low orbit. The Necron Exterminatus ship requires to roll a 4+ to exterminate the planet as normal. With a Sepulchre present, the roll becomes 2+ as the psychic attack induces the target population to undergo mass suicide.
Comments? Cost? Thinking 30 to 50 points to add to a non-HP/C armed ship. Does it really need to make an RO check?
