'''Phosphex Bombs''' are deadly [[Phosphex Weapon]]s used during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].
These bombs contain phosphex, a rare corrosive toxin and incendiary compound. It expands on contact with the air into a seething, liquid mist which burns with an eerie white-green flame that is attracted to movement. This flame ignites metal and eats into living tissue, and more ominously can not be extinguished by any means short of exposure to a vacuum. But as effective as this horrific weapon is, its use is not widespread as it has a tainting effect on planets beyond even radiation or nuclear weapons. Thus they were only sparsely deployed by [[Destroyer Marine|Destroyer Space Marines]] or in [[Imperial Army]] [[Medusa (Siege Tank)|Medusa]]'s, where they were known as '''Phosphex Shells'''.{{Fn|1}}
