The liquifier gun is a Drukhari weapon that hoses targets in potent acid, eating through armour and flesh alike. It’s a signature tool of the Haemonculus covens and their twisted creations.
What it is and how it works
A liquifier gun sprays a torrent of alchemical acid rather than firing a solid projectile. The stream is potent enough to dissolve both flesh and armour, making it a brutal close-range weapon.
In game terms, it’s a Torrent weapon, so it hits automatically. It also has Anti-Infantry 3+, meaning it scores critical wounds against infantry on an unmodified wound roll of 3 or more.
Who carries it
Haemonculi and their minions, especially Wracks and the Acothyst leading them, commonly wield liquifier guns. Some creatures have the weapon built into their bodies, firing their own corrosive blood.
Among Wracks, you can take one liquifier gun for every five models in the unit.
- Haemonculi: the twisted fleshcrafters of the Drukhari
- Wracks: their grotesque, pain-hardened creations
- Acothysts: Wrack leaders who can take the gun as a ranged option
On the tabletop
The liquifier gun has a 12″ range, D6 attacks, Strength 4, AP -1, and 1 damage. It auto-hits thanks to Torrent, and its Anti-Infantry 3+ rule makes it deadly against infantry squads.
It’s an upgrade weapon, so you’ll usually see it on a single Wrack or an Acothyst rather than every model in a unit. That keeps it a specialist choice, not a spammable one.

Why it matters
The liquifier gun shows what makes the Drukhari terrifying: they don’t just kill you, they dissolve you in agony. It’s a weapon of horror as much as war, fitting for a faction that feeds on suffering.
On the tabletop, it gives Haemonculus covens a reliable way to clear infantry, especially in overwatch or against lightly armoured squads. It’s not a tank-buster, but it doesn’t need to be.
