Ahhh...the famous corpse cannon.

The Skyspear Missile Launcher is a type of surface-to-air Missile Launcher mounted on Space Marine [[Hunter Multi-Launcher Vehicle|Hunters.]] These launchers are able to fire a salvo of missiles, each of which is guided by the [[Wat|interred remains of a Chapter Serf.]] The very aspect on using a dead guy to aim your missiles had been a source for [[Skub|intense and passionate debates]] on the type of [[Drugs]] GW had been smoking in order to come out with such an idea.

The missile itself is extremely powerful, able to blow apart [[Tau]] [[Barracuda|Barracudas]] to [[Eldar]] [[Vampire Raider|Vampire Raiders.]] It can even destroy creatures such as [[Bloodthirster|Bloodthirsters]] and [[Hive Tyrant|Hive Tyrants.]] Although in the case for the former, how a single missile can take out a creature that can give even the [[Dreadknight|giant baby carriers]] a run for its money is unknown. Unless it is a [[Deathstrike missile|Deathstrike]], we ain't seeing how this is possible.

In 8th Edition, the Skyspear for [[Derp|''some'' reason is no longer explicitly AA.]] This weapon delivers a high strength hit equal to a lascannon, re-rolling missed hits whether the model is flying or not.

While not an efficient damage dealer, the entire Hunter tank is a steal for its points. Exact same base cost as a Predator while making the leap from T7 to T8, and getting a free 5' range lascannon that can reroll hits. Won't spit out as much damage as your other Heavy Support options, but incredibly reliable.
