The Xiphon Rotary Missile Launcher is a type of Missile Launcher launched from Imperial [[Xiphon Pattern Interceptor|Xiphon Pattern Interceptors]] and a crucial secondary armament for that aircraft. Its unique rotary system allows the Xiphon to rapidly launch multiple missiles in a compact form and is often found in the underbelly of the interceptor.

This deadly weapons system is actually a more compact copy of a design more commonly found on heavy void fighters and incorporates sophisticated munitions with their own cluster-charged warheads and internal tracking auguries, mounted on a rapid-firing rotary magazine-fed launcher system. These weapons systems are efficient in their principal task of destroying enemy fighter craft but are flexible enough to be readily turned on armoured ground targets as well.

On the Horus Heresy tabletop, this thing is a Heavy 2 S8 AP2 weapon that re-rolls successful Jink and cover saves and rolls d3 times per Penetrating hit, choosing the best one (and AP grants +1 on that table). This essentially turns your Xiphon into a [[Awesome|anti-tank flyer.]] We know you want it.
