Changes

The '''Hellhound''' is an [[Imperial]] flame tank, based on the chassis of the [[Chimera]]. It is armed with a large [[flamer]] known as an [[Inferno Cannon]]. It is feared by all enemies because of its ability to cover a wide area with flames and cause horrific losses to units that cluster together.^{{Fn|1}}

The Hellhound has [[Promethium]] tanks on the rear of the vehicle making it quite volatile, and the members of the tank crews are often pyromaniacs who take pleasure in modifying their Inferno Cannons to increase flame output. These modifications are frowned upon by any [[Techpriest ]] [[Enginseer]]s attached to their unit, both because they are unsanctioned by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and because it can make the vehicle very dangerous to be around.^{{Fn|1}}

*[[Mars]] pattern - More popular amongst Guards Guard commanders as their profile is largely unchanged from that of a standard Chimera, making it harder for the enemy to single them out. The [[promethium]] reservoir fills the chimeras Chimera's cargo space.*[[Artemia]] pattern - The Artemia pattern differs in two key ways, : it has a remotely operated turret and the cargo space is replaced with a much larger capacity fuel cell. This fuel cell is by necessity very heavily armoured. ^{{Fn|2}}*[[Graia]] pattern - The Graia pattern also replaces the cargo compartment with the fuel cell but retains the standard manual turret and a crew of three. ^{{Fn|3}}

There are several variants of the Hellhound which replace the Inferno Cannon with alternate armaments -. 

The Bane Wolf uses a '''Chem Cannon'''. Bane wolves Wolves are used when the complete eradication of the enemy is warranted , as they smother their targets in broiling clouds of noxious gas that dissolves dissolve organic material in moments. Victims The victims' blood boils in their own veins and their flesh sloughs from one as the mixture of toxins do their horrific work. ^{{Fn|4}}

The Devil Dog uses a [[Melta Cannon]]. Devil Dogs are a variant of the more widespread Hellhound. Armed with powerful melta cannons, devil dogs are able to tear through heavy troops and armoured tanks in short order. When fired , the main weapons make a high pitched howl as moisture in the air vaporises, becoming a roaring blast as the target detonates. ^{{Fn|4}}
