===Chem Cannon===
[[File:Chem_Cannon.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Chem Cannon]]
The main armament of the [[Bane Wolf]], the Chem Cannon smother their targets in broiling clouds of noxious gas that dissolve organic material in moments. The victims' blood boils in their own veins and their flesh sloughs from one as the mixture of toxins do their horrific work before rendering even that down into a bubbling pool of rank, festering ooze.

Unfortunately, the acidic clouds of a Chem Cannon are known to drift according to wind direction, [[FAIL|sometimes even back towards Imperial forces.]] So it is in the Commissar's responsibility to maintain at least a bag of chem resistant suits for his troops to survive.

In 8th Edition, Chem Cannon wounds everything that's not a vehicle on 2s, with an improved AP-3 (at the cost of range, only 8", and shot count, only 1d6 vs the Hellhound's 2d6). Between the wounding improvement and the AP improvement, this will outperform the Inferno Cannon against MEQ even before you account for its reduced cost - the range is the primary issue, as 8.1" charges will ignore it on Overwatch, and the secondary issue is that while it's obviously incredible against monsters and Primarchs especially, it's absolute garbage against vehicles, and utterly inferior to the Hellhound versus anything not MEQ or MC.
