Missiles are a common weapon in the 41st Millenia, they're in use in most of the armies of the Universe: Orks, Forces of the Imperium, Tau Empire, Chaos Space Marines and Eldar.

The Missile Technology differs between those races, the Ork Rokkit Launcha is a simple rocket without any guidance system nor targeter, the imperial version included a built-in Machine Spirit giving the missile a greater accuracy and an ability to bypass the enemy's countermeasures and escape manoeuvring, the Tau counterpart use a similar in effect but more effective guiding device.

The Fragmentation Missile, or Frag Missile, is the variant designed to deal with infantry. The warhead is an high explosive charge in an hard metal shell designed to fragment in hundreds of small shards of metal in a huge blast when the explosive detonate.
