The Malcador Assault Tank is a truly ancient design dating back to the wars of the Age of Strife on Terra. During the Great Crusade, thousands of these war machines rolled off the production lines of both Mars and Voss. Though not as heavily armed or armoured as the Baneblade or Land Raider, the Malcador nevertheless possessed a number of advantages to its design, the principal of which was its battle speed and versatility. Soon, the Malcador had several variant patterns being utilised by the military forces of the nascent Imperium. One of these patterns was the Malcador Infernus. The Infernus is a flame thrower tank, in effect a huge Flamer on tracks, with a fuel trailer towed behind it. Within the trailer the Promethium fuel is stored as separate chemicals.

  • The Malcador Assault Tank is a truly ancient design dating back to the wars of the Age of Strife on Terra. During the Great Crusade, thousands of these war machines rolled off the production lines of both Mars and Voss. Though not as heavily armed or armoured as the Baneblade or Land Raider, the Malcador nevertheless possessed a number of advantages to its design, the principal of which was its battle speed and versatility. Soon, the Malcador had several variant patterns being utilised by the military forces of the nascent Imperium. One of these patterns was the Malcador Infernus. The Infernus is a flame thrower tank, in effect a huge Flamer on tracks, with a fuel trailer towed behind it. Within the trailer the Promethium fuel is stored as separate chemicals. These are mixed together in a chamber just behind the barrel to create a "jelly" that is projected out, ignited as it does so and which sticks to any surface. The massive gout of flames launched from the Inferno Gun is also effective at clearing mines, the sudden heat detonating mine fuses and making large areas safe much quicker than alternative methods. By the time of the Horus Heresy many Malcador tanks had been relegated to strategic reserves and second line Imperial Army units, replaced by newer and more powerful designs, although the demands of the galaxy-wide civil war soon brought them back into the fray, while their availability saw them used as test-beds for a variety of new variants designed to plug gaps in supply and resource. During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras, the elite Solar Auxilia employed the Malcador Infernus in specialist reserves held at the Cohort level. They were generally deployed to lead advances against enemy forces occupying especially dense terrain, such as trench lines, city ruins or heavily forested areas.
