→Some contradictions
Quote<br />
:"A wide variety of weapons fit the definition of cyclonic torpedoes, and employ varying means of scouring the world's surface, from nucleonic fire to raw plasma"<br>
Seems to contradict the visual evidence- both time the deployment of cyclonic warhead is seen (in the endings for Fire Warrior and Dawn of War 2: Retribution - respectively) it is shown as an apocalyptic weapon igniting a sort of chain reaction in the atmosphere, literally burning it away and reducing the surface to molten slag, not a simply powerful thermonuclear device (as the casual starship's torpedoes and plasma bombs are).<br>
Also - it the cyclonic torpedoes were just that- overpowered thermonuclear charges- there would be no need for a "two stage variant" design for worlds devoid of atmosphere. --[[User:Terran Ghost|Terran Ghost]] 01:35, 6 February 2012 (CET)
