Although never called a "Defiler", the machine's description perfectly matches that of a Defiler. It may be that the machine was a proto-type Defiler as the Word Bearers had been worshiping Chaos for longer than the other Legions, and would have more knowledge on how to construct such a machine. This would mean that the first Defilers were from the Word Bearers Legion, not the [[Black Legion]]. This would also mean that Abaddon could not have ordered the creation of Defilers, as they had already been in existence since the Horus Heresy.   ===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.
