This large warhammer incorporates an energy field emitter within its head that activates only when the hammer strikes its target. Patterns of Thunder Hammer also exist that can be wielded by unaugmented humans such as Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus and members of the Adeptus Ministorum. Thunder Hammers are primarily used by Astartes encased in Terminator Armour when they serve as melee-focused Assault Terminators, though they have also been wielded by those in regular Power Armour with access to the relevant armoury.
