The emporer's holy cattleprod? No.  I think it's just some random sci-fi tech looking thing, not a weapon you'll find in any rulebook.

Or, yeah, a cattleprod :D

The holy cattleprod of doom!

Actually, it's a Land Speeder Long-Range Sensor (a bit like an Auspex), generally used by Space marines to check if people up ahead have got a squad of... say, Chaos Havocs, waiting to ambush them.

Wouldn't a sensor thing be verticle? You dont see  horizontal radio wires much :P

It must be like a radar sensor or a jousting poll so they can joust will other land speeders :wink:

think of the marines in Alien, with the lil radar, imagine it to be giving a signal like that, detecting movement along the landscape

Yeah, I prefer to think of the Space marines as a new definition if the word "Human" like the Cybermen from Doctor Who.

You'll probably find it's some kind of radar generator, more than likely used to asess the terrain ahead so that the anti-grav systems don't get any nasty suprises.

Yeah, but what if you get random spikes coming from the ground? You're truly boned then.

Actually, that's an idea for a land speeder conversion! Not that I'm going to use it, but it sounds cool.

best ive seen it remove it and shove a gun there to create either a tornado or one of the other varients.

Converted Tornadoes sound pretty cool too... You see, there is an infinite amount of combinations as to what you can do to the Land-Speeder...
:shock: I'm gettin' a Land-Speeder tomorrow!

Or clip it off, and take one of the bolters meant for the front of the IG tanks (Chimaera's anyway) and stick that on.
