Stormtalon Gunship is a Space Marine airborne interceptor and ground-attack unit.

Description

The smaller Stormtalon Gunship is incredibly fast and agile, and makes a superb air-interceptor and ground attack craft. With a single press of a trigger, the Stormtalon's pilot purges his victims from existence amid a whistling hail of missiles, bolts and las blasts. All the while, the Stormtalon jinks and weaves with incredible speed, enemy fire slicing around it to no avail.

Weapons

Twin-Linked Assault Cannon Bolt Weapon: The boltgun, or bolter, fires small missiles known as 'bolts'. Each self-propelled bolt explodes with devastating effect once it has penetrated its target.
