Ah, it used to be 1/2" radius for every missile so of
course everybody fired all 12 in the first turn. Next
time you are gaming, and somebody sends out for a 12"
pizza, imagine dropping the pizza on the table and
saying: "Everybody under that pizza is dead!" And it
only cost the Termies 50pts? No wonder we all hated
it! Sold a lot of Cyclone minis though, which of
course was the whole idea.

They were supposed to be incredibly rare! Something
like one grenade per battle, and even then it was very
inaccurate and always deviated on a 2+ - otherwise it
would take out a Land Raider every time (hopefully
with the commander on board).
Then the IG list came out and suddenly you could equip
a whole squad of grunts with vortex grenades! From
the sublime to the commonplace!
