The '''Immolator''' is a variant of the [[Rhino]] chassis and used exclusively by the [[Adepta Sororitas]] as a transport.
==History==
The design specifications of the Immolator was first discovered within an ancient factory complex on [[Fornost]], during the [[Icaria Crusade]] in [[M35]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}} There a force of [[Frateris Templars]] captured an ancient factory complex intact, allowing an [[Adeptus Ministorum]] missionary team to freely explore its contents. Missionary [[Morben the Devout]] discovered databanks from the [[Dark Age of Technology]] and reported his findings to his superiors. 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.{{Fn|2a}} After inspecting 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.{{Fn|2a}}
==Design==
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. Space taken up by ammunition allows the Immolator to only carry a squad of six Sisters of Battle, which they deploy close to their objectives and advances in support. However, the Immolator does carry slightly more armour than the Rhino.{{Fn|2a}}The main weapon system of the Immolator is sometimes referred to as an [[Inferno Cannon]]{{Fn|4}} or Immolation Flamer {{Fn|5}} instead of mere twin Heavy Flamers.The weaponry of the Immolator is controlled by auto-sanctified guidance [[Cogitator]]s.{{Fn|8}}
The Immolator can be equipped with [[Adepta Sororitas Vehicles (List)#Vehicle Upgrades|numerous upgrades]].
