[[File:HK_MIssile_Launcher.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Hunter-Killer Missile]]
A single-use fire-and-forget krak missile packaged in a launch tube that is easily mounted to any vehicle. They are effectively Krak Missiles with massively extended range, although only one can be mounted on each vehicle for... [[derp|reasons]]? They are also unique in that they are guided weapons with an on-board "logis-engine." Sensors in the missile's nose transmit information on the target and surrounding environment to the logis-engine, which guides the missile in flight by manipulating its stabilizing fins, allowing the missile to match the target's movements and avoid obstacles. The missile's warhead is an impact fused shaped charge, designed for maximum armor penetration. Other instruments include an internal gyroscope for stable flight and a small battery to power the sensor and logis-engine.

In-game, they are a cheap upgrade for most Imperial vehicles and walkers, as a quick way to add a bit of anti-armor punch to an armored personnel carrier or other light armor. However, it is arguably not an ideal upgrade for vehicles with a BS of 3 (4+ to hit), as being a one-shot weapon you'll never actually hit anything with it- it has the uncanny ability to miss every time it is fired. (Unless you stick one on Knight Commander Pask's tank, BS4 with re-rollable 1's to hit and to wound, use it to stun enemy artillery or instagib a warlord of Toughness 4 or below with no Eternal Warrior). In theory you could ignore all this and just take as many as you can in the hopes of alpha-striking the fuck out of your opponent, but the points you would spend doing so are probably better used elsewhere.

<s>Weirdly, unlike real life rocket addons for tanks (such as the Tulip from WW2), the Imperium lacks a version to fight infantry (Frag) or as air-defence (Flakk).</s> {{Blam}} {{Blam|That's what your lasguns and the venerable Hydra are for, Guardsman.
