Template:ElPort The Reaper Launcher is an Eldar weapon used by Dark Reapers, the Eldar path devoted to providing long range fire support on the field of battle. It is a fast firing heavy weapon which launches a barrage of armour-piercing rockets to devistate the enemy, similar to the Missile Launcher used by Imperial forces.

Targets are acquired by rangefinders and sights within the muzzle of the weapon itself, allowing the firer to 'see' wherever he points his weapon. The launcher carries a number of pods containing a variety of ammunition types, allowing the firer to perform a number of support duties such as anti-tank or anti-infantry fire. These pods also all but eliminate the need for the firer to reload, resulting in an increased rate of fire when compared to similar grades of weaponry used by other species1.
