Do take note that Yautja in the Military could wear armor that can shrug off multiple SADAR rockets with impunity, not even Spacemarine Terminators could shrug off so much anti-tank rockets. And Emperor help the Terminators if they meet a Hyrda, these guys carry plasma-tipped rockets that can mass scatter in to even smaller rockets, each can be automatically guided and could be fired in rapid succession.
