| | |
| The '''Space Marine Hunter''' is a multi-launcher missile anti-aircraft vehicle based on a [[Rhino Transport|Rhino]] and which is able to deliver a lot of hurt to all those pesky [[jetbike]]s zooming around overhead. Basically a version of the good old [[Whirlwind]] built to take out aircraft, it is based on [[STC]] data older than most of the Whirlwind versions. The model started life in [[Epic]], but only got [[Warhammer 40,000]] rules as part of the [[Space Marines]]' [[6th edition (Warhammer 40,000)|6th edition]] codex and model wave.

| For ages, the Astartes tried to make a dedicated anti-aircraft vehicle out of Whirlwinds with little success and although they had some success with the [[Whirlwind#Hyperios|Hyperios]] pattern, when the Hunter came along, most of them said "fuck this" and went all out over the Hunter. It helps the Hunter's launch cannon looks really cool and it won't be long before some [[neckbeard]]s start using it in conversions with their favourite [[Dreadnought]].

| Just to make things nice and grimdarky for the new tank, the skyspear missiles it fires are guided by the interred remains of [[chapter serf]]s. How remains are meant to guide a missile is uncertain but certainly the amount they go through must mean life expectancy for a serf in most chapters has to be shockingly low and the chance of a nice old grave a distance dream next to the needs of the chapter for a CORPSE MISSILE!

| Heres a delightful thought. One Hunter tank of the Iron Hands is known for its missiles to swing back around and smash into targets that have already been brought down. This is said to be due to its rage filled machine spirit, but just think of how many loyal surfs have been wasted like this.
