Havoc Launchers are one reason Chaos Vehicles are more fun than loyalist versions. It's a small multiple missile pod that hooks onto Chaos vehicles and can fire off a cluster of long-ranged explosive shells, perfect for dispatching clusters of small enemies - it's particularly rape-tastic against Orks, Dark Eldar, the Tyranids, Kroot, and the Imperial Guard. The weapon has the following profile:
Range: 48" Strength: 5 AP: 5 Heavy 2, Blast, Twin-Linked
So you can see, where as the Imperial version; the Hunter-Killer missile, which is meant to damage or kill a single strong unit (with only one shot, mind), the Havoc Launcher is meant to handle mass infantry and attack weaker units - and unlike the Hunter-Killer missile, can be fired all damned game long. Be warned though; Tau, 'Ard boyz, Necrons, Storm Troopers, and Space Marines can generally weather its offensive - though the Havoc Launcher will reliably cause wounding hits, its poor AP value means most forces still get their saves. It's still a decent deterrent to mass-heavy armies, though, and not a bad investment for the points.
