Flamestorm Cannon

A Flamestorm Cannon is a sponson-mounted, colossal flame projector that sends a billowing tide of burning Promethium into the thick of the foe. Cover is no defence against its wrath, and only the thickest armour can hope to offer any protection. These deadly Heavy Flamer weapons are usually mounted on Land Raider Redeemers in lieu of the usual Hurricane Bolter sponsons. Combined with the Redeemer's sophisticated targeting systems, these flamestorm cannons are able to purge even a well-defended bunker complex in seconds. These massive flame-based weapons also enable the Redeemer to be highly effective against infantry during grueling and dangerous urban combat. The Land Raider Redeemer can use its Flamestorm Cannons to burn enemy infantry out of their hiding spots in shattered buildings, mazes of debris, and rockcrete rubble. It is said the flames of the Redeemer are hot enough to liquefy plasteel and even the Ceramite of Space Marine Power Armour. For this reason the Redeemer is known as the Firewyrm by the brethren of the Space Wolves, referring to an ancient beast of Fenrisian legend that harboured the fires of the sun in its gullet.

Another notable vehicle that utlises this deadly technology is the Baal Predator, a known specailised variant of the Predator design, used only by the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter and their Successor Chapters. It has been in service with the Chapter since the earliest days of the Great Crusade, when the Blood Angels seized its Standard Template Construct from a ruined archeotech vault. In a move that was riven with controversy even then, the victorious Blood Angels did not hand the template over to the Adeptus Mechanicus, despite the dark threats directed at them, bringing it back to their Chapter home world of Baal.

A Baal Predator equipped with a turret-mounted flamestorm cannon is a tried and tested method of clearing bunkers and barricades, whilst the addition of sponsons to the basic chassis can massively reinforce the basic firepower.
