→Devil Dog
====Devil Dog====
The Devil Dog uses a [[Melta Cannon]]. Devil Dogs are able to tear through heavy troops and armoured tanks in short order.{{Fn|2a}} Instead of promethium Devil Dog uses Dogs use a pyrum-petroleum /[[promethium]] based mix. Sitting adjacent to its melta cannon, injectors within its weapons systems combine the two chemicals into a chamber.{{Fn|4}} When this highly volatile combination is fired through its melta cannon, it make makes a high -pitched howl as moisture in the air vaporises, becoming a roaring blast as the target detonates.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|4}}
Against this literally devilish heat enemy troops stand no chance, even the most heavily armoured being incinerated in instant. However it is against enemy tanks and fortifications that the Devil Dog’s weaponry is most often used. Its technology believed to have been based on that used in distant past of Mankind to render down the toughest of ores and metals for use in constructing its colonies across the galaxy, is capable of making the most tanks or structures to little more than molten slag and steaming gas. This also often provoke critical failures in surrounding systems, causing the tank to explode or collapsing the building down upon those unfortunate inside.{{Fn|4}}
