it is said that heresy is like a tree. It's roots lie in darkness while it's leaves wave in the sun. You can prune away its branches, even cut the tree to the ground but it will grow again, ever stronger. Such is the nature of heresy and why it is so difficult to destroy.Β Some may question my right to destroy a world of ten billion souls, but those who understand realize I have no right to let them live.Β No sacrifice is too great; no treachery too small.

For those who don't know, there is some fluff, IIRC that has ships mounting massive weapons facing up and down and is used to explain why they fight in a Napoleon era like manner.Β Because going above or below is suicide since the ships are so tall that they can fit huge weapons.Β Unlike the broadside, which is narrower and must fit weapons facing both ways as well as make room for spinal turrets.

Wow. Thank you for exposing me to this, you need to spread this picture around!

very good ! your ships look less gothic than they do in many WH40K pictures, and so they look more believeable, in my humbly heretical opinion.

"We have arrived, and it is now that we perform our charge.
In fealty to the God-Emperor (our undying Lord) and by the grace of the Golden Throne,
Β I declare Exterminatus upon the Imperial world of Typhon Primaris.
I hereby sign the death warrant of an entire world and consign a million souls to oblivion.
May Imperial Justice account in all balance.
The Emperor Protects."

"It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy. It is a sign of strength to cry out against fate rather than to bow one's head and succumb. Inevitably many shall fault the hands upon the sword which fell Typhon, the Ordo Malleus. But the Inquisition merely performs the duty of it's office, to further fear them is redundant to hate them heretical. Those more sensible will place responsibility with those who forced the hands of the Inquisition. With some fortune they may foster this hatred into purpose and further rule their own fate by cunning through the Emperor's service. Yet ultimately it was I who set these events into motion with a single blow from my hammer, god splitter."

Reminds me of the Covenant glassing a planet. This looks more awesome though

Well, someΒ people also say that. I have no idea about it to be honest. Thanks anyway!

Nice picture, but I've read, that the Imperial Navy bombs a planet out in an immense use of shells, lasers and torpedos, untill the surface breaks under the pressure.
Anyway, the ships are great, so the planet.

I' am no expert of this things. But I've read somewhere that there are several ways of destroying a planet, such as by Cyclonic torpedoes and Virus bombs. And one of them was with some heavy orbital bombing.Β

That is an exceptionally pretty rendition of Imperial warships, though I've never seen them with underside lances before. Must be an Inquisition thing~ Looks awesome though!

All Exterminatus types revolve around the use of specialized missiles/torpedoes/bombs.
This looks more like Lance Orbital Strike.Β

Typically cyclonic torpedoes from Inquisitorial black ships as they're one of the few organisations that can declare and exterminatus order. However on occasion virus bombs and lance strikes are used depending how quickly you want a world to be usable again, since cyclonics spend a few decades/centuries rearranging the geography

Never read anything suggesting lance strike is used a way of conducting exterminatus. Can you provide a reference for this?Β

warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Ex⦠A lot of it is used in art work and FMVs from videogames and I believe it is more to do with the flashy effect of titanic lasers vaporizing the planet's surface. Specifically lance strikes were used in the... third Horus heresy novel at the battle of Isstvan V in the wake of virus bombs. The virus bombs basically turned the atmosphere into one massive ball of highly flammable gases after eating everything on the planet, and then lance strikes were used to ignite it to turn the entire surface into boiling inferno in efforts to utterly destroy the loyalist chapters there. The Dark angels also used a more traditional style of orbital bombardment when they destroyed Caliban.

I would honestly like it to be titled Commencing Exterminatus, but I guess its better (and cooler) this way
