The Whirlwind is the Space Marines' standard fire-support artillery piece. Firing two-missile salvos from its Whirlwind Multi-Launcher, it is capable of both direct-fire and indirect-fire support. Its speed and maneuverability allows it to keep up with traditionally speedy Space Marine assets, and its indirect-fire capabilities (tied in with sophisticated target acquisition and homing gear) allow it to avoid direct confrontation. Its only drawback is a lack of ammunition, as it only carries enough for five salvos.
