Death-Dealing Ultramarine Devastator

I was lucky enough to get a Fellblade form Forge World for christmas, and I'm looking to now start a pre-heresy TS force.
I don't yet have the Horus Heresy book and want to know more about the main gun - the accelerator cannon. I'm not looking for rules, but would like to know what is it made to kill, armour, infantry or both.
I'm aming to go into as much detail with the army as possible, icons for the cults and stuff. What cult would best suit a fellblade and its occupants - Pyrae, Pavonae or Raptorae?
Any help would be much appriciated, thanks.

It can fire in two modes, anti infantry at S8 AP3 7" blast or anti tank at S9 AP2 3" blast armourbane.

“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls.
The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.
That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."

Thank you very much. Is there any fluff for it?

It has two different shells. You decide which you shoot at the beginning of each shooting phase. One is a massive blast ordnance and designed to put holes in infantry lines. The other is an AP shell with armourbane. So realistically, it's whatever you want it to be. As for which cult? Pyrae without a doubt. Fire, fire, and more fire. Put a Phoenix on it and paint it red and silver. Call it "Incendia Nex". Blow up some muppets and have fun.
It was one of the first superheavy tanks to see service in the legions. It has some nifty Mechanicus technologies that make it superior to the Baneblade. It looks like a boss.

It just says it was designed on the forge world of Tigrus and can switch between anti tank and anti infantry shells.
