===== Demolisher Heavy Infantry =====

{{ :dzc:scourge:demolishers:destroyers_1.jpg?direct&400|}}

=== Introduced in Reconquest: Phase 1 ===

Destroyers are the only remnants of a brutal and savage alien race, long since conquered by the Scourge. In much the same manner as the [[razorworms|Razorworms]], they are now bred specifically as hosts due to their prodigious power and intimidating stature. In battle, they use this strength to lug a pair of heavy weapons and to batter unfortunate enemies to a pulp! Destroyers serve the dual role of mixed fire support and room clearance, where they can clear and hold buildings with immovable and bestial force.

Each destroyer carries a Shard Cannon, a fearsome anti-infantry weapon equivalent to a UCM heavy machinegun. Due to its heavy calibre and sheer weight of fire, the Shard Cannon can even be effective against light vehicles. As a broadly conventional firearm, the Shard Cannon is able to mow down enemy troops at a far greater range than standard issue plasma rifles. 

Destroyers are also armed with a miniaturised version of the Plasma Cannon, the Plasma Charger. While it is only charged for a single shot, the effect of a volley from these weapons is often devastating! Destroyers have been known to literally blast their way through solid walls with brute force akin to a wrecking ball. They are usually unfazed by enemy opposition and can be expected to enter a building with guns blazing, seconds before crashing through the wall!
