	Apparently, even when we aren't in the 41st millennium we still mastered the art of royally buttfucking a planet. In this case, it's ours, and a full-scale thermonuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union, who each have a few thousands of nukes, would be enough to kill off humanity (1 billion in the exchange itself, everyone else within the next 2 years). This is how Mutually Assured Destruction works, threatening each other and our own planet with Exterminatus with zero chance of survival, just so we won't begin another World War.

	There has also been one instance of an entire Hive World being poisoned by the Dark Eldar, as well as an incident in which they smashed a Space Hulk at a Webway sub-realm and so the warp drives would detonate to release hordes of daemons (though that's not exactly a 'repeatable' means of planet killing).

	As of current fluff, the Inquisition turns out to actually have an entire Ordo (the aforementioned Ordo Excorium) who deal exclusively with managing this sort of affair to ensure that people aren't just committing mass genocides for shits and giggles. And for all intents and purposes, it seems they're actually doing their damn jobs: the 6th/7th Ed. Inquisition Codex indicates that about 90% of Inquisitors who called down a single Exterminatus were later stripped of their rank (and declared heretics in several cases) for deciding to go full fuck force and blow up a planet where it wasn't warranted. Impressive, for a group numbering barely 100 Inquisitors.
