The Stone-Crusher or Carnifex Oprimo, is an adaptation of the Carnifex designed to counter imperial heavy tanks and fortifications. A charging Stone Crusher can topple tanks, damage ceramite armour, and only heavy weaponry is capable of piecing its chitin armour. It was notably used by Hive Fleet Behemoth on Moloch, where a stampede of Stone Crusher Carnifexes tore through kilometers of ferroconcrete fortifications.^[5]

While charging, it can ram through a wall, then using its immense strength, it can pull backward to wrench walls down, taking down buildings and obstacles.^[1]
