==Chaos Renegades== According to the ''Tome of Excess'' for [[Black Crusade (RPG)|Black Crusade]], followers of Chaos (besides the Noise Marines) also make use of sonic weaponry, though its usage is still predominantly concentrated amongst Slaaneshi faithful. Unfortunately, there aren't any canon models, so proxies are often used as a place-in. ===Ghibelline Shrieking Pistol=== [[File:Shrieking_Pistol.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Ghibelline Shrieking Pistol]] This is the smallest known form of non-Legion sonic weaponry, discharging thrumming blasts of psychosonic energy. This bulky, pistol-sized weapon requires a backpack-mounted power source to operate, and its psychosonic discharges have destructive effects similar to the blasts of a [[Hellgun]]. In the Screaming Vortex, sonic weaponry is most associated with the world of Ghibelline. Sonic weaponry requires energy to function, rather than ammunition, so those renegades not blessed enough to have a suit of power armor to hook them into must wear power generating backpacks. The Shrieking Pistol is no exception. The Pirates of the Ragged Helix are mentioned as favoring this weapon for its ability to blast a target free of the limited gravity of their home range with a single shot, condemning the victim to an excruciating death as they spiral off into the depths of space. Before you ask, Ragged Helix have fucky physics where tiny asteroids with low gravity somehow have atmosphere and can support life. ===Ghibelline Howler Rifle=== [[File:Howler_Rifle.png|150px|right|thumb|Ghibelline Howler Rifle]] A sniper rifle that fires extremely accurate sonic blasts over long distances. Creating a distinctive howl earning its name. These weapons fire intensely focused and accurate blasts of high-pitched sound, but when used at their full power, they create an acoustic onslaught that causes the wielder - and anyone else nearby - to suffer uncontrollable bleeding from their ears. Ghibelline Howler Rifles are not to be confused with the similarly named Howler Rifles known to be used by the infamous [[Rak'gol]] which are essentially a triple-barreled machine gun. ===Ghibelline Hyperwave Clarion=== [[File:Hyperwave_Clarion.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Ghibelline Hyperwave Clarion]] The most powerful sonic wave cannon to be carried by a non-Astartes heretic. This complex but sturdy weapon, crafted by the Ghibelline Hereteks, uses endlessly alternating frequencies of sounds that oscillate faster than matter can withstand to reduce bones to jelly, blast ferrocrete to powder and liquefy adamantine. Like the rest of the Ghibelline weapons, the Hyperwave requires a backpack to store its energy. As bulky as it is destructive, even an Astartes operator will find hauling this weapon around difficult. The word Clarion, by the way, means war bugle or siren, and has been used as a nickname for various guns throughout history. A fitting title for a weapon that is all three. ===Shatterscream Rounds=== Originally a humble automated sentry alarm called a Screamer, Shatterscream rounds repurposes the clarions into makeshift ammo in an attempt to create a more portable and easily acquired form of sonic weaponry.
