The big cheese of the Imperium's Rad Weapons.
Rad Missile Launchers were a type of Rad Weapon deployed during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. These Terran-derived missiles are a horror of the genetic wars waged during the Age of Strife, using custom loaded-warheads which combine high explosive fragmentation charges lined with radioactive isotopes.

The effect is to create an intensely toxic radiation weapon that inflicts a hideous death on its victim no matter their resilience. Because of its contaminating and hideous nature, it was deployed sparingly, most commonly by [[Destroyer_Squad|Destroyer Space Marines]]. The effects of these weapons were so horrific that they were only used against Xenos. Even the worst among the Legion Astartes had very little trust for those would dare use them. Exceptions being the [[Death Guard]] and the Dreadwing of the [[Dark Angels]]. The effects of Rad Missiles would force Destroyer Marines to replace their limbs with cybernetics. As the ammunition fired by the launcher itself caused aggressive forms of cancer that can deter Space Marines. The outbreak of the [[Horus Heresy]] turned Rad Missiles Launchers and Destroyers into a necessary evil for both sides. This is the first pre-Grey Knight answer against [[Daemon|Chaos Daemons]] or [[Dark Eldar|anyone dumb enough to not wear]] or [[Cultist|too broke ass to afford]] [[Power Armor]]. Most likely abandoned by Chaos Space Marines due to the possibility of dying from cancer, one of the most humiliating ways to go for a bloodthirsty beserker.

[[Tl;dr]], it's a missile launching dirty bomb.
