The [[Creed]] of Drop Pods.

Deathwind Missile Launchers are weapons equipped on Space Marine [[Drop Pods]]. Like most of these [[Trap]] Drop Pods, they are designed to fool the enemy and/or provide heavy covering fire for the Space Marines instead. They replace the standard Storm Bolter, offering a nasty surprise of short-range explosive support fire to the face. By the 41st Millennium, the Deathwind has been slowly phased out by Whirlwinds as they just packed way more punch and range compared to the more flimsy Deathwind.

They may be deployed en masse as a Deathwind Orbital Strike Force.

In 7th Edition, the Deathwind launcher is now cheaper. With the reduced price, you can pay a little more than a tac marine for the ability to lock down a 12" area around a drop pod with a S5 AP- pie plate. You kill a MEQ, you basically pay off the cost of the launcher. Put these on your offensive pods, otherwise it'll be a waste.

With the [[Nerf]] of Drop Pods in 8th Edition, the Deathwind Missile Launcher has been [[Fail|regulated to the gutter]] where once the [[Pyrovore]] and [[Mandrakes]] use to dwell in. At best, they are only useful for creating a annoying distraction and maybe kill a few stragglers for some added benefit.

How this Missile Launcher avoids [[FATAL|accidentally hitting one of its missiles at its own occupants or even the structure of the Drop Pods itself remains a mystery.]]
