Toxiferran Weapon
Toxiferran Weapons were a type of anti-Psyker weapon used by the Imperium during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
These improvised chemical combustion weapons were tested by the Dusk Raiders the first Xabian War, tainting the earth under the feeding tentacles of that world's monstrosities. Most deadly among these concoctions was the Toxiferran composition. This was a highly volatile mixture of chemicals laced with horrific psi-reactive materials which earned a reputation to rival Phosphex in its destructive capacity. This mixture was later developed into bespoke weapons which were shared with other Space Marine Legions, from replacements for Promethium fuel tanks to the Toxiferno cannon which utilized a multi-chemical injection system to accelerate the combustion process, resulting in a billowing cloud of scalding psi-reactive smoke.[1]
