Standing on six piston-driven limbs, the defiler's hull supports a massive turret, which houses the main armaments of the infernal machine. While Defilers are usually seen with large arrays of weapons, such as [[Reaper Autocannon]] and the [[Havoc Launcher]], its main firepower comes in the form of a [[battle cannon]]. There are often variations of the weapon systems used; in some cases, Reaper Autocannons have been upgraded to house twin-linked [[heavy bolter]]s or [[lascannon]]s instead, whereas there have been sightings of Defilers with [[heavy flamer]]s on multiple occasions. ===Close combat=== In addition of being able to lay down a barrage of heavy fire, Defilers are also terrifying close combat opponents. When a Defiler arrives on the battlefield, the magics keeping the bound daemon peaceful are released, allowing the daemon to truly enjoy the battle. As daemons are immortal and unconcerned for the survival of its machine host, Defilers ignore hits that would kill normal tank crews and continue on rampages of destruction that would otherwise be impossible to proceed with. Of its six limbs, Defilers use four for moving around and two arm-like appendages to crush enemies in their pincers.
