[[Image:Hellhound.gif|right|thumb|An Imperial Guard Hellhound]]
The '''Hellhound''' is based on the chassis of the [[Chimera]] and totes a large [[flamer]] known as the [[Inferno Cannon]]. It is feared by all enemies because of its ability to cover a wide area with flames and cause horrific losses to units that cluster together. They instill instil fear in a target unit, forcing the enemy to take various checks to find out if they run or bunker down.<sup>1</sup>
The Hellhound has [[Promethium]] tanks at on the rear of the vehicle making it quite volatile, and the members of the tank crews are often pyromaniacs who take pleasure in souping up their Inferno Cannons to increase flame output. These modifications are frowned upon by any Techpriest [[Enginseer]]s attached to their unit, both because they are unsanctioned by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and because it can make the vehicle very dangerous to be around.<sup>1</sup>
There are three known patterns of Hellhound as follows:
*[[Mars]] pattern - (pictured). More popular amongst Guards commanders as their profile is largely unchanged from that of a standard Chimera, making it harder for the enemy to single them out. The [[promethium]] reservior reservoir fills the chimeras cargo space;{{Cite This}}*[[Artemia]] pattern - The Artemia pattern differs in two key ways, it has a remotely operated turret and the cargo space is replaced with a much larger capacity fuel cell. This fuel cell is by necessity very heavily armoured{{Cite This}}*[[Graia]] pattern - also replaces the cargo compartment with the fuel cell but retains the standard manual turret and a crew of three.<br clear="all">{{Cite This}}
