Description
The Deimos Predator Infernus, also known as the Predator Infernus, is a variant of the standard Deimos Predator Destructor tank used by the Space Marine Legions. It Replaces the vehicle's turret-mounted Autocannon with a Flamestorm Cannon. This vehicle can provide an impressive amount of close-range firepower.History
The Deimos Predator Infernus variant dates back to the Great Crusade. It was fielded by the Space Marine Legions as a relatively common vehicle to support the Legions’ ground infantry. The Predator Infernus was an attempt to replicate the Baal Predator Standard Template Construct (STC), stubbornly held by the Dawn Angels. Sources imply the superiority of this latter design in terms of speed, armor, and armament. With the advent of the Land Raider Redeemer (a variant of the Land Raider Crusader armed with Heavy Flamers), the Predator Infernus has largely been replaced in many Legions’.
Although, several Legions like the Imperial Fists still value the Predator Infernus’ close-range firepower when combating such xenos hordes as Orks. The 11th legion is a fervent user of the Predator Infernus. This is because the theaters they operate in are jungle-filled or mountainous regions where the Land Raider Redeemer cannot be used effectively.
Armament
The Deimos Predator Infernus replaces the standard Deimos Predator’s turret-mounted Autocannon, known as a Predator Autocannon, with a turret-mounted Flamestorm Cannon. The Flamestorm Cannon is a massive, vehicle-sized Flamer that can reduce targets to charred scraps.
The Deimos Predator Infernus, as with all Predator tanks, can be armed with up to two sponson-mounted weapons, including Heavy Bolters, Heavy Flamers, or Lascannons. The tank can be equipped with Pintle-mounted weaponry, including a Combi-Bolter or other Combi-Weapon, a Heavy Flamer, a Heavy Bolter, or a Havoc Missile Launcher. The vehicle can also be outfitted with a Hunter-Killer Missile Launcher, a Dozer Blade, an Auxiliary Drive System, Extra Armour Plating, Armoured Ceramite Plating, or a Machine Spirit (Artificial Intelligence). All Deimos Predator Executioners are equipped with Smoke Launchers and a Searchlight.
