Editing Razorshark Strike Fighter

To the Fire Warriors forming the front ranks of a firing
line, there are few sights more gratifYing than seeing a
Razorshark Strike Fighter swoop out of the cloud cover and
streak over enemy formations. Built along a design pattern
modified from the Sun Shark Bomber, the Razorshark
forgoes the Interceptor Drone in favour of additional
manoeuvring thrusters, and it trades the pulse bomb
generator for a fearsome quad ion turret. A formidable
weapon, the quad ion turret is ideal for turning light
vehicles into twisted wrecks. Although it makes the weapon
slightly unstable, when fired on its overcharged mode, the
quad ion turret can produce an enormous blast radius that
consumes entire squads with a single shot.
During the Tyranid invasion on the sept world of Ke'lshan,
the aliens quickly grew wary of the dominating Tau air
attacks. High in the stratosphere, the super-heavy Manta
blasted away the flying terrors, while just above the planet's
surface swept the Sun Shark Bombers, their pulse bombs
breaking up the swarming Hormagaunt attacks. While
the Tau's entire aerial arsenal played a part, it was the
Razorshark Strike Fighters that took the highest toll on
their foe. Streaking back and forth over the battlefront,
the Razorsharks relentlessly targeted the Tyranid Warriors,
the beams from their quad ion turrets easily penetrating
the Tyranids' thick, chitinous armour. After one of the
Razorshark's attack runs, entire squads of the elite alien
warriors would be left in ruin, their half-melted bodies
continuing to sizzle long after their deaths. A fast moving
craft, the Razorshark was able to seek out and destroy the
brains of the invasion - whether they attempted to lurk far
behind the front lines, or chose to surround themselves
with intervening lesser creatures, the Razorshark was
manoeuvrable enough to hunt them down. When infilu-ators
such as Lictors or Raveners emerged to threaten the Fire
Warriors, the Razorsharks could swiftly fly back to target
the beasts, minimising both the harm and the disuaction of
such attacks.
The Razorshark Strike Fighter can engage enem flyers,
but the craft was purpose-built as a ground support attack
craft; a role in which it excels. Its success is evident from
the craft's ever-growing popularity with the Fire Warriors
that it flies above. In addition to its main armament, each
Razorshark is loaded out with a nose-mounted burst cannon.
For further support, it also carries two seeker mis iles. These
can be auto-fired by the Razorshark's Air caste pilot himself,
but are more effective when launched by a ground unit that
has painted its target with a markerlight.
