→Defiler Variants
Ever since, Berzerkers have attempted to emulate Akraghar’s actions and carve rune-etched links about the throat of the infernal vehicle, binding it to the will and rage of Khorne. Competition to ride such beasts is fierce and though many try, very few succeed. In battle, whole units of Berzerkers will attempt to clamber onto a nearby Slaughterfiend, if only to steal a ride into the fray.
Typically Slaughterfiends renounce most ranged weapons and are armed with additional close assault weapons. They are often also faster than other Defiler variants, as they are worked up into an agitated state. Groups of Slaughterfiends are known as [[Bloodpack]]s'''Bloodpacks'''.{{Fn|6}}
===Desecrator===
Dedicated by the [[Death Guard]] to the rancid service of [[Nurgle]], a '''Desecrator''' is an unstoppable force commonly armed with a [['''Vomit Cannon]]''', [[Reaper Autocannon]]s and [['''Battle Claw]]sClaws'''.{{Fn|3}}
===Debaser===
A '''Debaser''' is a Defiler perverted to the causes of [[Slaanesh]] by the [[Emperor's Children]]. It is armed with a devastating payload of Sonic Weaponry; including [[Sonic Weaponry|Ultrasonic Disruptor]]s, a [[Sonic Weaponry|Death Wailer]] and [[Blastmaster]]s in addition to its [['''Battle Claw]]sClaws'''.{{Fn|5}}
===Deceiver===
When the [[Thousand Sons]] dedicate a Defiler to the nefarious wills of [[Tzeentch]], it is referred to as a '''Deceiver'''. Such vehicles have an array of confusing weapons such as [['''Tzeentch Cannon]]sCannons''', [[Ether Cannon]]s and [[Heavy Flamer]]s, as well as [['''Battle Claw]]s Claws''' and [['''Warp Flames]] ''' which are used in close assault. Typically, Deceivers are more accurate in a firefight than other variants of the Defiler.{{Fn|4}}
