Currently, Cendran's armed forces are known as the Cendran Abolishers. Their chief use is in environments where mop-up or complete purging of pockets of a planet's populace is needed, an act the Abolishers are all too enthusiastic to perform. The majority of the time, they are employed against [[Tyranids]], [[Genestealer]] Cults, Orks, and in the razing of [[heretic]]al settlements. 

Each soldier - in addition to the standard Guardsman's primer - is issued a list of lifeforms that can be safely consumed after being thoroughly cooked. It is far longer than what would usually be recommended, but the average Guardsman would not touch the state of meat the Cendrans would consider to be edible. 

The Abolishers have carved out a fearsome reputation - there are many stories of worlds fearing what comes after an Ork incursion rather than the Orks themselves. They have demonstrated a complete and utter lack of compassion over their years in the Emperor's service, which both worries and intrigues their superiors as they are far more likely to carry out questionable orders even the most loyal Guardsman would raise a brow over - often with a smirk on the burned lips beneath their re-breathers.

The Abolishers are in slight disfavour with the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] due to constant tampering with their weaponry in order to achieve greater temperatures and area of effect, a habit seen most often in their [[Hellhound Tank|Hellhound]] crews. A blind eye is turned to this overall, due to the experience with the weapons that the Abolishers have. Many a [[Commissar]] has put paid to the idea that this is unnoticed however, bringing swift retribution against those who bring this too far into tech-[[heresy]]. Many of the men use their own customised flamers, the cabling hand-cut and many of the numerous chambers rigorously cleaned and maintained. These items are treated as holy throughout the regiment, the oldest and most decorated of which are distributed amongst the veteran squads.

In open warfare, they employ covering tactics with [[lasgun]] fire, allowing the mounted heavy flamers on their [[Chimera Transport|chimera]]s to come to bear on enemy squads as their hellish payload dismount and raze the enemies' cover to the ground. Their Hellhound crews are seen as even more pyromanic than the average Cendran, being avoided even by their own brothers and sisters. For anti vehicular support, they rely on [[Devil Dog]]s and the cleansing holy fire of [[Missile Launcher]]s. Their artillery crews like using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon Thermobaric weapons] and fuel air explosives (who likes eating meat with shrapnel in it anyways?), some of which can be modified on site (although it is normally considered to take too long to do so in combat and is thus done en route if they have the intel required, or while digging in) to optimize the explosion for the local atmosphere. There artillery crews are known for sometimes using ammunition that puts promethium onto the target. The artillery crews set fires if they expect them to spread or if a target proves resistant to their thermobarics, in this case if the fire doesn't destroy what survived the thermobarics quite well, they try the thermobarics again, with the hope the fire as weekend the structural integrity, perhaps by making metal targets soft, and just need an explosive nudge to cause them to collapse under there own weight. Between the preferred munitions of the artillery crews and flame throwers used by armor and infantry, they are well equipped for urban warfare.
