===Deimos Pattern Predator Executioner===

A design that is prized in the Imperium but now almost entirely lost, the Deimos Executioner is armed with a mighty [[Plasma destroyer]]. The powerful weapon allows it to blast apart even the most powerful armour with contemptuous ease. However only the [[Forge World]] of [[Ryza]] is still able to manufacture the advanced photo-plasmic cells needed for the Executioners weapon. As a result of this spare parts shortage, many chapters' [[Techmarine]]s have replaced the main Plasma Destroyer with a [[Conversion Beamer]]. This modification turns the Executioner into a powerful siege tank and long-range tank destroyer, but this firepower is gained at the cost of maneuverability and increases vulnerability to short-range attacks.{{Fn|2}}

===Deimos Pattern Predator Infernus===

An ancient design dating back to the early days of the [[Great Crusade]], the '''Deimos Pattern Predator Infernus''' is armed with a fearsome [[Flamestorm Cannon]] or [[Magna-Melta]] as well as [[Heavy Flamer]]s and [[Heavy Bolter]]s. [[STC]] data indicates that the Deimos Pattern Infernus may have been an attempt to replicate the [[Baal Predator]] design after the [[Blood Angels]] refused to share the design with the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Accordingly, the Mechanicus maintains that the design is superior to the Baal Predator in speed, protection, and firepower.{{Fn|3}}

The ancient design however has largely been replaced by the [[Land Raider Redeemer]] in most [[Chapter]]s, including the [[Crimson Fists]], [[Fire Lords]], and [[Subjugators]]. But with the new [[Tyranid]] menace emerging across the [[Imperium]], the Deimos Pattern Infernus' close-range firepower has seen renewed use and interest by many within the [[Space Marine]].{{Fn|3}}
