Eldar Missile Launcher^[1]

The Eldar Missile Launcher is a type of Eldar Missile Weapon.^[2]

Overview

The Eldar Missile Launcher is the standard missile weapon for Eldar ground forces. Instead of the primitive launching-tubes favoured by the Imperium, they use complex chambered pods designed to contain several types of ammo such as krak and plasma warheads, greatly decreasing the need to reload^[2a]. The ammunition held in its internal magazines is in fact so compact that they can fit scores of ordinance inside a single launcher.^[3]
