The Imperium would like to announce the retirement of the Warhammer Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. For many decades it has served as the land-based strategic detterent for the Imperium, safeguarding the homeland against weapons of mass destruction.
However, it has long been realized that land-based strategic missiles have limited reach, barely extending past regional borders. With that in mind an entirely new generation of missiles has been designed, missile that make no pretense at being able to effectively reach intercontinental targets.

[Thanks goes to Omz for the tech trade, I've always wanted ICCMs and now I have them. Also, don't completely buy into the stats, HE isn't the only warhead these things can or will carry. In fact, HE is probably the least likely warhead that these really expensive missiles will ever mount.]
