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.

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.

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.

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

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!
