A Drukhari Razorwing Jetfighter in combat unleashes one of its potent Razorwing Missiles.
A Razorwing Missile, also called a Voidraven Missile, is a type of Drukhari missile specifically created for the Razorwing Jetfighter and its heavier counterpart, the Voidraven Bomber, in their role as ground assault aircraft. A Razorwing Jetfighter or a Voidraven Bomber can deploy four of these missiles, drawn from four sub-types, whose effects are described below.
A Razorwing Jetfighter cannot deploy an Implosion Missile, while the Voidraven Bomber cannot deploy the Monoscythe or Necrotoxin Missiles.
Monoscythe Missile[]
The Monoscythe Missile is an anti-infantry missile designed to release a wave of directed energy at head-height upon detonation in its area of effect, decapitating nearby foes.
Necrotoxin Missile[]
A Necrotoxin Missile is an anti-infantry munition filled with deadly neurotoxins. When it detonates it unleashes shards of toxic shrapnel, killing and pinning the enemy in place as their central nervous systems dissolve under the effect of these chemical weapons.
Shatterfield Missile[]
A Shatterfield Missile possesses two, separate detonation chambers which explode one after the other. The first detonation of the missile sucks away all thermal energy in its area of effect, transforming the targeted foe into frozen statues covered in ice. The second detonation sends out a powerful force that shatters the now-brittle flesh and/or armour of the enemy into frozen shards.
Implosion Missile[]
An Implosion Missile is a heavy and menacing-looking missile that emits a field of molecular dissonance. Those caught in its path implode, instantly collapsing in upon themselves and leaving nothing more than a scorched silhouette to mark their demise.
