Some contradictions

Quote

"A wide variety of weapons fit the definition of cyclonic torpedoes, and employ varying means of scouring the world's surface, from nucleonic fire to raw plasma"

Seems to contradict the visual evidence- both time the deployment of cyclonic warhead is seen (in the endings for Fire Warrior and Dawn of War 2: Retribution - respectively) it is shown as an apocalyptic weapon igniting a sort of chain reaction in the atmosphere, literally burning it away and reducing the surface to molten slag, not a simply powerful thermonuclear device (as the casual starship's torpedoes and plasma bombs are).
Also - it the cyclonic torpedoes were just that- overpowered thermonuclear charges- there would be no need for a "two stage variant" design for worlds devoid of atmosphere. --Terran Ghost 01:35, 6 February 2012 (CET)

I dont see any contradictions - "A wide variety of weapons fit the definition of cyclonic torpedoes", therefore there are many different types which work in different ways. So there can be nuclear ones, plasma ones, two-stage ones, the ones from the video games you mentioned etc. Wheres the contradiction? Thelemur 02:43, 6 February 2012 (CET)
