Editing Nephilim Jetfighter

{{NeedsImages}}

The '''Nephilim Jetfighter''' is the [[Dark Angels]]' air superiority fighter.  It is flown by the [[Ravenwing]] to allow their ground-bound battle-brothers to focus on catching [[Fallen Angels]] without having to worry about getting attacked from the air.

The Jetfighter was added to the Dark Angels' [[Codex]] in [[6th edition (Warhammer 40,000)|6th edition]] to help set them apart from the other [[Space Marine Chapter|Chapters]] of [[Space Marines]] that get their own codices.  The [[lore]] justification is that the Dark Angels had the Jetfighters for longer, but only recently found the [[STC]] pattern of a superior engine that made them practical to use (though given that the Nephilim is neither Supersonic nor Fast, the previous engine must have been really bad to force the Dark Angels to keep them grounded).

Nephilim Jetfighters pack a twin-linked set of [[heavy bolter]]s and six "blacksword" missiles (36" S6 AP4, named because of their black smoke trail -- which is a lot more sensible than the [[Blood Angels]]' "bloodstrike" missiles), with a choice of twin-linked [[lascannon]]s or an [[Avenger mega bolter]] in the nose.
