Once, the '''Murder Class Cruiser''' was the main workhorse of [[Obscurus|Battlefleet Obscurus]] before being replaced by the [[Lunar Class Cruiser]], with almost five hundred being made between [[M33]] and [[M37]]. Unfortunately, a proportionate number turned renegade, and today it is found mainly in the fleets of [[Chaos]].{{Fn|1}}
In battle, the ''Murder'' class is a formidable foe, with significant long-range firepower provided by a prow [[lance]] and row after row of the best [[Plasma cannon]]s ever made by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. The ''Murder'' class is even more deadly when working in groups, as the combined firepower of several ships is enough to bring down even mighty [[Battleship]]s, such as when three craft destroyed the ''[[Relentless Persecution]]'' near the end of the [[Gothic War]].{{Fn|1}}
