The '''Hellhound''' is an [[ImperialGuard]] flame tank, based on the chassis of the [[Chimera]]. It is armed with a large [[flamer]] known as an [[Inferno Cannon]], discharging lethal self-igniting chemicals to flush out infantry in dense terrain and urban combat zones. 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}}{{Fn|2a}}

The Hellhounds are typically organized into either dedicated Hellhound has Tank [[PromethiumImperial Guard Company|companies]] tanks on the rear of the vehicle making it quite volatileor support squadrons for armoured or mechanised companies, and the members of the tank crews are often pyromaniacs who take pleasure in modifying their Inferno Cannons to increase flame outputbut will rarely fight together as a complete unit. These modifications are frowned upon by any [[Techpriest]] [[Enginseer]]s attached Most commanders take a flexible approach to their unitHellhound deployment, both because they are unsanctioned by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and because it can make the vehicle very dangerous attaching them to be aroundother units in an ad hoc fashion as needed.{{Fn|13}}

===Patterns===There are three known patterns of Hellhound as follows:*A select few [[MarsGuardsmen]] pattern - More popular amongst Guard commanders as their profile is largely unchanged from that of a standard Chimera, making it harder for have the enemy foolhardy bravery (or insanity) to willingly volunteer to single them outcrew a Hellhound. The [[promethium]] reservoir fills Those who do take perverse pride in their reputation, claiming others simply "can't take the Chimera's cargo space.*[[Artemia]] pattern - The Artemia pattern differs in two key ways: it has a remotely operated turret and heat" as they gun their vehicle towards the cargo space is replaced largest concentration of enemy forces with a much larger capacity fuel cell. This fuel cell is by necessity very heavily armouredpyromaniacal zeal. {{Fn|22a}}*[[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}}

==Variants==There are several variants The [[Inferno Cannon]] mounted on the Hellhound's turret has a short range, but can spray its chemical fire over a wide area, filling every nook and cranny with flaming death and incinerating troops sheltering within buildings or behind cover.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}} It is fed by a large [[Promethium]] tank in place of the Chimera's troop compartment, with a large enough supply to give the Hellhound which replace amble endurance during extended battles. While the Inferno Cannon large capacity overcomes the typical ammunition problems of other flame-throwing weapons, it does make the Hellhound a tempting target, as enemy fire can easily ignite the stored promethium and create a huge, super-heated fireball.{{Fn|3}} For this reason not only is the fuel tank armoured but the Hellhound itself boasts thicker armouring than found the Chimera,{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}} along with alternate armamentsa much larger engine.{{Fn|2a}}

===Bane Wolf===The Bane Wolf uses a '''Chem Cannon'''. Bane Wolves are used when In addition the complete eradication of the enemy Hellhound is warrantedalso fitted with a hull-mounted [[Heavy Bolter]], as they smother their targets though in broiling clouds of noxious gas that dissolve organic material in momentssome models this is replaced with a [[Heavy Flamer]] or [[Multi-melta]]. The victims' blood boils in their own veins vehicle can also be upgraded with a number of additions and modifications, including [[Camo Netting]], a [[Dozer Blade]], [[Extra Armour]], a [[Hunter-Killer Missile]], a [[pintle-mounted]] [[Heavy Stubber]] or [[Storm Bolter]], a [[Searchlight]] and their flesh sloughs from one as the mixture of toxins do their horrific work/or [[Smoke Launchers]]. {{Fn|42b}}

===Devil DogPatterns===There are three known patterns of Hellhound as follows:*[[Mars]] pattern - More popular amongst 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 Devil Dog uses a [[Melta Cannonpromethium]]reservoir fills the Chimera's cargo space. Devil Dogs are able {{Fn|3}}*[[Artemia]] pattern - The Artemia pattern differs in two key ways: it has a remotely operated turret, reducing the number of crew to tear through heavy troops two, and the cargo space is replaced with a much larger capacity fuel cell. This fuel cell is by necessity very heavily armoured tanks in short order. When fired, {{Fn|3}}*[[Graia]] pattern - The Graia pattern also replaces the main weapons make cargo compartment with a high pitched howl as moisture in larger fuel cell but retains the air vaporises, becoming standard manual turret and a roaring blast as the target detonatescrew of three.{{Fn|43}}
