The Hunter-Class Destroyer is designed to fulfil the same role in the Space Marine Fleet that the [[Cobra-class Destroyer]] does in the [[Imperial Navy]]. Although available to all Space Marine chapters, the class is mainly used by the [[Dark Angels]], due to their distrust of other sections of the Imperial hierarchy. The Dark Angels maintain large flotillas of Hunter class ships within their battlefleets.

The Hunter-class is armed similarly to the Cobra, but is a little faster, allowing it to react quickly to openings the enemy provides. The vessel is equipped with [[Torpedo]] tubes and a [[Macrocannon|Weapons Battery]]. The same shield and turret array complement found on the Cobra class is fitted on a Hunter-class. The Hunter is also more heavily armoured than a Cobra, providing it with a little more survivability in a combat situation.

However, like all Space Marine vessels, they lack an armored prow, so don't let this ship get too close to another ship attempting to ram it.

It should be noted that the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] also own the Hunter-class for their own needs, with the main difference being that they swapped out Space Marines with enhanced sensors and more mechanical bois.

It is armed with 2 [[Torpedo]] Launchers and 1 [[Macrocannon|Light Macro Turret]].
