'''Rad Missiles''' was were a type of [[Rad Weapon]] deployed during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. These [[Terra|Terran]]-derived missiles are a horror of the genetic wars waged during the [[Age of Strife]], using custom loaded-warheads which combine high explosive fragmentation charges lined with radioactive isotopes. The effect is to create an intensely toxic radiation weapon that inflicts a hideous death on its victim no matter their resilience. Because of its contaminating and hideous nature, it was deployed sparingly, most commonly by [[Destroyer Space Marines]].{{Fn|1}}
