Cyclone Missile Launcher?

Not in this edition.

There were back in 1st edition Space Hulk though (based on the missile load).

I don't recall there ever being cyclone rules published in either the main game, expansions or the White Dwarfs of the time. I'm open to correction but I think they only appeared in artwork.

The Cyclone launcher marine was in the first set of metal Terminators, launched for Space Hulk.

I can't remember any rules for it, though there were rules for the captain's grenade launcher, perhaps the Cyclone rules were an adaptation?

It was released around that time, but the grenade glove was different. It was an additional weapon alongside the bolter like the powerfist, powersword or chainfist.

Here are the 2nd edition rules for cyclone launchers: Originally released in Citadel Journal #34 by Tom Coles.

12 shots
costs 2 AP to fire
kills on a 2+
1 AP to reload though it may never be reloaded and then fired in the same turn.

Thats it.

Keep in mind when using these frankly crappy rules in 3rd ed that in 2nd ed reloads were infinite, unlike 1st ed where you either got a set amount, or bought extra reloads from the terminator force list.

Here are the 1st edition rules for Missile Launchers (note: these rules were for power armored space marines, as rules for the cyclone missile launcher did exist until 2nd ed space hulk. As Howard treesong noted above, cyclone only existed in artwork inside of the space hulk books.):
Originally printed in white dwarf magazine and reprinted in the Space Hulk Campaign Book.





I find neither option satisfactory but you may find use for them.

Which issue of White Dwarf had the rules for using normal Space Marines in the Hulks?

Sorry, I should have noted that in the last post.

White Dwarf #120

I put up the Space Hulk wassname someplace around here.

The file was implanted in my post above, but I removed it regarding GW's new cease and dsist crap. All my Space Hulk content is now removed from dakka voluntarily to keep Yakface from getting buried in C&D letters.

Thanks very much much, I'll have to dig it out myself. I saw and got your file the other day but forgot to make a reply on thread.
