===Tempest Launcher=== [[File:Tempest_Launcher.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Tempest Launcher]] A Tempest Launcher is an ancient form of Reaper Launcher utilized exclusively by Dark Reaper Exarchs. It looks like two Reaper Launchers duct taped together for twice the bang. These launchers fire clusters of small Reaper Missiles in an arc. Whilst individually, they are weaker than standard Reaper Missiles, they have a significant area of effect to compensate for this. They are thus, able to affect a larger target area and be used in an indirect fire role or as a unconventional form of artillery. As the case for most Eldar technology, the weapon is psychically activated, and its resonant Wraithbone construction is sensitive to the Eldar's innately psychic mind. Like the more common Reaper Launcher, the Tempest Launcher is linked to its targeter via the handle. This creates a mind-link with the Dark Reaper's weapon, allowing the warrior to "see" out of the muzzle of the launcher. However, the skill of a Dark Reaper Exarch means that his skill would be on a whole new playing field. On tabletop, it is one of the primary weapons for a Dark Reaper Exarch. Just pay 5 more points to trade in in your Reaper Launcher for a Heavy 2d6 S4 AP-2 D1 weapon that doesn't need LoS to help with clearing out blobs. It's going to average more hits than the Missile Launcher's anti-infantry mode, though you won't have any sort of S8 fire mode. Just remember it has a shorter range than the Reaper Launchers. If you are going MSU or Ynnari with your Reapers this should be your default choice to make up for the lost Dakka.
