[[Image:Hunter6.jpg|thumb|right|275px|Space Marine Hunter (6th Edition){{Fn|4}}]]
The '''Hunter Multi-Launcher''' is an anti-aircraft support missile vehicle built on the [[Rhino]] chassis.{{Fn|1}} A variant of the [[Whirlwind]], it is based on [[STC]] data which is much older than the more recent [[Whirlwind Hyperios]].{{Fn|3}}
The Hunter is the first known dedicated anti-aircraft platform fielded by the [[Adeptus Astartes]]. Prior to the discovery of the [[STC]] for the Hunter, Space Marine forces had attempted to retrofit various designs to the Whirlwind artillery vehicle, with largely negative results.{{Fn|1}} Though a stable pattern of anti-aircraft Whirlwind was ultimately achieved in the Hyperios, several [[Chapters]] have continued to use the Hunter on many battlefields, including the recent [[Third War for Armageddon]].{{Fn|3}}
