The design specifications of the Immolator was first discovered within an ancient factory complex on [[Fornoth]], during the [[Icaria Crusade ]] in [[M35]].² {{Fn|1}} There a force of [[Frateris Templars]] captured an ancient factory complex intact, allowing an [[Adeptus Ministorum]] missionary team explored its contents. Missionary [[Morben the Devout ]] discovered databanks from the [[Dark Age of Technology]] and reported his findings to his superiors.⁵ {{Fn|2}} Knowing the value of this information to the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], the Ministorum used it as a bargaining chip for negotiations. Eventually the two organisations came to an agreement, the Fornosian Accords: the Mechanicus would have access to the databanks, and in exchange the Ministorum would have exclusive claim to any new technologies discovered.⁵{{Fn|2}}

After combing through the databanks, the only new design to be found was for a flame-thrower tank. Combining this knowledge with known [[STC]] designs for the Rhino, the [[Tech-priest]]s of [[Mars]] came up with the Immolator and began exclusive production of it for the Ministorum.⁵{{Fn|2}}

Immolators are armed with [[twin-linked]] [[Heavy Flamer]]s as their primary armament. ''''Sanctis'''' pattern-variants replace these with twin-linked [[Heavy Bolter]]s, while the ''''Justice'''' pattern-variant replaces them with twin-linked [[Multi-melta]]s.⁵ {{Fn|2}} Space taken up by ammunition allows the Immolator to only carry a squad of six Sisters of Battle, which it deploys close to their objectives and advances in support. However, the Immolater does carry slightly more armour than the Rhino.⁵{{Fn|2}}

The Immolator can be upgraded with [[Blessed Ammunition]] (if armed with Heavy Bolters), a [[Holy Icon]], [[Holy Promethium]] (if armed with twin Heavy Flamers), a [[Hunter-killer Missile]], [[Laud Hailers]], [[Dozer Blades]], [[Extra Armour]], a [[Searchlight]] and [[Smoke Launchers]].{{Cite This}}
