It is prroly written:
Vortex missiles:
Against vehicles or infantry:
A vortex is almost total annihilation, place the template, then roll D6,
this is the number of hits the missie causes on the units under the
template, each hit is exactly like a death ray.
Against a war Engine.
Due to the massive size and incredible armour of WEs, a vortex missile
will only do D6 AT hits but is the war engine has no shields, or loses
it's shields from the impact, the missile will cause an automatic critical
hit.

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it...
