Iron Eagle Gyrocopter
The Iron Eagle Gyrocopter was a Squat aircraft and its primary flyer. It was notable of being one of the two flying units in WH40K back when air vehicles was unheard of. Used for ground attack missions against enemy artillery positions and headquarters in lightning fast raids, Iron Eagle's were piloted by daring Squat Guild pilots. The Iron Eagle achieved its unprecedented maneuverability by combining traditional gravitic thrusters with high-powered turbofans, giving it extra power and lift. The Iron Eagle had a crew of two: a gunner and a pilot.
Overview
By using dense terrain to cover their approach, daring Guild aeronauts can spring upon enemy artillery and HQs in lightning fast raids, swooping through them with their cannon blazing. The exceptional maneuverability of a Iron Eagle attack gyrocopters means that they can fire in any direction, not just their forward 180 degree arc.
All Iron Eagles are armed with a battlecannon and an autocannon which makes it great against infantry and light to medium vehicles.
