The '''Defiler''' is a [[Chaos]] [[Daemon Engine]] and are among the most common of their kind. They were created by the [[Dark Mechanicum]] on the [[Forge World]] of [[Xana II]] at the command of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] in preparation for the [[First Black Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|8}}
==Overview==
===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 Cannons''', [[Ether Cannon]]s and [[Heavy Flamer]]s, as well as '''Battle 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}}
