Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Imperial Guard (section)

====Marauder family====

The [[Imperial Navy]] will occasionally lend the Guard a hand with these big-assed bombers.

*'''Marauder Bomber:''' Flying Fortress of 40k. Imagine the massive bombers that dropped massive amounts of bombs on cities during the Second World War - the Marauder is basically the same thing, but with much bigger and less dinky and useless guns (for the setting). It also happens to share the same name as one too. It's not good for its point cost though, even in apocalypse. Those bombs just don't hurt tanks, and that's something you need to be able to kill. Does come with the ability to switch out the heavy bomb payload for two <b>Hellstorm Bombs</b>, big Inferno templates full of Str7 Ap3 goodness. Useful for when that annoying guy brings a whole company of Space Marines and you want them to [[Exterminatus|DIE NOW]]. Unfortunate side effect is the tiny payload size. [[Deal with it|Oh well]]. As per new Apoc rules super heavy tend to explode in hilariously high range (with D strengths in the 5" epicenter)  you can just keep this thing zooming above enemy forces and [[Troll|dare him to kill it]].
*'''Maurauder Destroyer''' Heavy Attack Plane. While the standard Maurauder is the Imperium's B-17 (if thats a B-17, I would love to the imperium's lancaster. imagine a bouncing demolisher shell!!!), this one is the AC-130. Regardless, with a load out like this it's more akin to the bastard forbidden love child of a Manticore and a Hydra flak tank that's trying too hard, since it's armed with eight massive hellstrike missiles on the wings and three twin-linked autocannons in its nose. In addition to bombing, this sucker flies in and strafes anything unlucky to be on the ground, with hellstorm of fire, and then flies away. Better than the bomber in every way (looks, <s>armor values</s>, possession of actual AA mounted guns and glorious bombing runs).
