Probably a stupid and N00BY question but I'm pretty new to eldar so this seems the place to ask. Basically can someone just clear up the statline on the D-Cannon? In particular tif I were to use a Cobra super heavy or a Wraithseer with a shoulder-mounted one. According to the codex, it is range G24" and 3" blast. However according to the entry on the Warp Hunter in (the much more recently produced) IA 11, it has a range of 36" and is a 5" blast barrage weapon. There is also the option to fire as an Aether Rift using the flamer template; is this a rule specific to the Warp Hunter or does it apply to all D-cannons? (I believe it is just for the warp hunter personally as it is listed in the tank's special rules, though surely a Cobra should have the same rule as its just a bigger warp hunter). Anyway thanks if anyone knows for sure, I'm sure there's an errata for it somewhere but the internet is just too big of a place!

There are 2 different versions of the D-Cannon. There's the Distort Cannon and there is the Distortion Cannon.

I see, do you have any idea which the Wraithseer has? I did manage to find the errata though and clear it up for the Cobra, it has a completely different profile and looks devestating! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/i/IA11Q&A.pdf

The Wraithseer has access to the standard D-Cannon...24" range 3" blast.

The Warp Hunter one is special

Thanks for clearing it up I'm not a fan of 3" blast weapons but its still looks like a deadly boomstick

The Warp hunter has a larger version of the d-cannon used by the platforms and the wraithseer - and the Cobra has an even bigger one (since THAT one is a superheavy vehicle).

It's like the lasgun/lascannon/laser destroyer progression. Man-carried, marine or dreadnought carried and stupidlyhumungousgun on equally ridiculous tank.
