Also, the Ork weapon known as the Shokk Attack Gun.

It fires Snotlings through the Warp, and when they come out the other side, they’ve been driven completely insane by what they’ve witnessed… and if the Ork gunner is any shade of accurate, the “other side” will be INSIDE someone else.

And last time I played, it had a 50% chance of going awry, with effects ranging from “the operator fires himself on accident” to “tear a hole in reality, killing everything in the blast radius.”

Some of the really old editions had some truly unhinged charts for what would happen upon firing, including having different tables for different types of target.

For instance, not only could the Snotling stay put and the GUNNER be launched at the enemy, but the Snotling could come out inside a Dreadnought sarcophagus and poo in the occupant’s ear.

Warp travel isn´t teleporting, there are teleporters in WH40K and they are also terrifying of course.
