| rdfs:comment | - The Decimator is a large, brutal, and hellish creation; the essence of a Warp creature bound and fettered within the armoured bulk of a great bipedal warmachine. The hell-machine features great slab-shoulders of tainted and defiled ceramite and adamantium, while a low-set "head" gives the Decimator a characteristic hunched posture which exudes brooding and vicious menace. Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what malefic party is responsible for this sinful innovation as the Decimator is capable of fielding a wide range of armaments attached to the ends of its long and powerful arms, including a rapid-firing Butcher Cannon, a Soul Burner Petard, a multi-barrelled Storm Laser, and great raking Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons known as Decimator Siege Claws with in-built Heavy Flamers.

| abstract | - The Decimator is a large, brutal, and hellish creation; the essence of a Warp creature bound and fettered within the armoured bulk of a great bipedal warmachine. The hell-machine features great slab-shoulders of tainted and defiled ceramite and adamantium, while a low-set "head" gives the Decimator a characteristic hunched posture which exudes brooding and vicious menace. Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what malefic party is responsible for this sinful innovation as the Decimator is capable of fielding a wide range of armaments attached to the ends of its long and powerful arms, including a rapid-firing Butcher Cannon, a Soul Burner Petard, a multi-barrelled Storm Laser, and great raking Dreadnought Close Combat Weapons known as Decimator Siege Claws with in-built Heavy Flamers.The Decimator can field these weapons in any combination, such as twin Butcher Cannons, Storm Lasers, or Decimator Siege Claws or use them in a combination with one another. The Decimator can also be turned into a mighty fire support and anti-armour platform by being armed with a single Heavy Conversion Beamer, allowing it to make quick work of all but the most resilient vehicles; fortunately the machine must stop moving in order to wield the weapon with any real accuracy. These great war machines can also be ritually dedicated to one of the four Chaos Gods; Khornate Decimators are armed with twin Siege Claws that it uses to rampage across the battlefield in a blood spilling frenzy; a Nurgleite Decimator is even harder to destroy than the standard Decimator as it is blessed by the Plague God with unnatural resilience; a Slaaneshi Decimator is almost untouchable in close combat; and a Tzeentchian Decimator's Heavy Flamers are made even more devastating. The machine can also take on more support options such as a searchlight to illuminate enemy units and a smoke launcher to provide cover for friendly infantry.
