Greetings all. I have been away from 40k for years and am finally jumping back in for 30k/Horus Heresy. But I am a bit confused by the "Gravis" weapon types. Would someone mind taking a minute and explaining to me how Gravis weapons in 30k differ from other weapons? Thank you in advance. |

I wonder if 'gravis' tech was common in 30K but had disappeared in 40k till the arrival of he Primaris |

Hi you are correct its a lost and regained tech.\ |

It's not Bad Latin per se. All languages change over time, even a revived dead language like Latin, which has been seeing a little resurgence in Europe over the past few decades. 38,000 years from now, no words will be directly recognizable to us. |

To answer the original question, I believe they are equivalent to graviton guns from the Rogue Trader days. |

Thanks everyone. But someone please look at the weapon options for the contemptor dreadnought in the new astartes army books for horus heresy. Several Gravis options. Wonder if it is a name for those weapons that are twin linked? |
