→Overview
The '''Defiler''' is a monstrous atrocity made out of flesh and iron and powered by a daemonic warp entity trapped within its hull. It was commissioned by [[Abaddon the Despoiler]] to some magi for his [[13th Black Crusade]]. It belches fumes and is covered with barbs and sharp points on all six of its legs.
It walks on 4 legs with 2 huge, scissor-like [[Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons|claws ]] and is fitted with a [[Battle Cannon]] in the hull, [[Reaper Autocannon]] (or upgraded to twin-linked [[Heavy Bolters]] or [[Lascannons]]) and [[Heavy Flamer]] (or upgraded to a [[Havoc Launcher]]). Both of these side weapons can be replaced with the [[Living Vehicle]] upgrade on side mountings, this increases the number of close range attacks the Defiler can make.
The [[Battle Cannon]] can be fitted with indirect line of fire (similar to that of the [[Basilisk]]) and because it is a walker it can move and fire.<sup>1,2</sup>
