Cyclonic Torpedoes are the primary means of enacting Exterminatus in the 41st millennium.
Usually deployed by Inquisitorial vessels specially designed for the task, Cyclonic Torpedoes are designed to penetrate the outer crust of a planet and detonate near its core. The detonation of multiple high yield nuclear warheads near a planets core is usually enough to trigger massive volcanic eruptions, and tears open the tectonic plates.
The obvious disadvantage of this method of Exterminatus is the fact that the world is utterly destroyed, and will never be able to support life again.
