	Pyroclast Flame Projectors were the [[Salamanders]]' unique and complex Flamer Weapon created by [[Vulkan]] himself some time during the [[Great Crusade]]. Wielded by a unit with the same name, this weapon is not your average everyday Flamer. They were used to incinerate pretty much everything in the same manner as a standard Flamer, and also capable of focusing that same Promethium (''with possibly a mix of something from the smaller tanks'') into a searing jet of really damn hot arc that is rather difficult to aim considering the grip, but able to slice through durable armor like a hot knife cutting something video.		Pyroclast Flame Projectors were the [[Salamanders]]' unique and complex Flamer Weapon created by [[Vulkan]] himself some time during the [[Great Crusade]].

	Although it is comparable to the Ork Burna due to having two modes of firing fire, there is a slight difference between the Pyroclast projection and the "''cuttin flame''." While the former shoots out Promethium pretty far in a straight line that should inevitably curve down after quite a distance because it is not a laser, the latter is simply a switch from flamethrower mode into huge blowtorch mode with a change of a nozzle. It is not known whether the present Salamanders still crack these bad boys out for a field trip once in a while, but judging from how good they are at maintaining equipment, they might still have a couple of boxes out in the back of their armoury. It's not like Vulkan had ''all'' of them out at Isstvan, right?

			The Inferno Cannon is yet another huge, vehicle mounted Flamer Weapon.

	The primary weapon of the [[Hellhound Tank\|Hellhound]], this Inferno Cannon focuses on the "thrower" aspect of "flamethrower." Similar in strength to the Heavy Flamer, the Inferno Cannon has an extra perk of being capable of projecting its fiery payload over a considerable distance, and if correctly utilized, can fuck up even vehicles if they happen to have poor armor. It is used by the Imperial Guard and can also be equipped on Astartes Dreadnoughts, where it had an interesting special rule (basically it gave it proto-torrent). The amount of damage it does is magnified by the explosive force it was fired with. The particular Promethium from the Inferno Cannon causes fear amongst those enemies that unluckily has to face it, and rightly so – the sheer amount of flame that leaves the vehicle is immense, enough to melt through aforementioned armor and even some defensive structures. The vehicle carrying it also has to carry a large barrel or two of Promethium as fuel, making it extremely volatile, especially under explosive fire. And when it fires, the vehicle must not be moving, as a disastrous back wash of flame would fry everyone inside the vehicle. The crew themselves are often seen as pyromaniacs. Speaking of maniacs, the Immolator tank of the Sisters of Battle can be installed with a Twin-linked Heavy Flamer which produces a similar effect.

	The Conflagration Cannon is the primary weapon of the Knight Valiants which are, basically, [[Dawww\|baby Warlord Titans]] in both design and weapon loadout. This bad motherfucker with a fancy name here is essentially, in a triangularly-arranged triple barrel configuration, '''three''' Flamers each the size you would probably see on a proper Questoris Knight if there is a loadout for it. Yes, you heard us right – it is not one, not two, but three of these horde-gluttons combined, and even supercharged to boot! Of course, there are some [[Skub\|argumentative debates]] on the design choices of this weapon.

	Though the name may suggest that this Flamer uses some kind of elaborate system which somehow turns neutrons into fire, the truth is a bit less elaborate. The ''Thermoneutronic Projector'' uses volatile gases siphoned from the corona of a neutron star to expel a flame capable of searing through the armor plating of a battle tank. The volatile gases themselves are not specifically mentioned, but we can probably say it's better than your average Promethium, which is weird because Neutron stars are ''[[Fist of the North Star\|already dead]]'', being the core of a star gone supernova, don't have Coronas anymore, and are slowly cooling down (being ''cold'' for a star); you wouldn't have to go far to harvest these "volatile gases," because most matter in the universe comes from the spent starsplooge.
