The '''Whirlwind Artillery Tank''' is an [[Rhino]]-based artillery support vehicle. The Whirlwind along with the [[Land Raider Helios]] are the closest weapons [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s use that could be considered true artillery. It is primarily used to soften up a heavily-fortified or well-defended target prior to the main attack. It mounts a [[Whirlwind multiple missile launcher]] on its turret, firing a variety of different missiles with different purposes. The Whirlwind design is not available to [[Chaos Space Marines]], since the [[STC]] technology from which is was derived was discovered after the [[Horus Heresy]].<sup>1</sup>
