Vortex Missile
| [Content from Rule Book page 34.] |
A Vortex missile is a devastating one-shot weapon. When the missile is fired the warhead explodes into a whirling vortex of energy which consumes anything in contact with it before it implodes. This ravening vortex is in effect a giant warp hole like the one created by a Distortion Cannon and is particularly deadly against war engines.
When a Vortex missile is fired place a Barrage template over the target unit(s). Every unit under the template suffers the equivalent of D6 Death Rayhits shots. Once the Vortex missile has been fired it is expended and may not be used again during the battle.
We've found Vortex missiles to be rather too powerful except as a replacement for a Titan weapon system. Therefore Vortex missiles are now limited to use by Titans only. Also note that Vortex missiles inflict D6 Death Ray shots, not hits as noted in the rulebook.
