Editing Storm Speeder


[[Apollo Diomedes|BRUVA! MY NECK IS PINNED HERE!]]

The [[Primaris Space Marines]] finally got their first flyer model which is basically a [[Land Speeder]] but all [[-4 Str|jacked up.]] Suffice to say, the design of this thing has been...''interesting'' to say the least. With a half-dozen memes immediately spawning from its...odd placement of the gunner's seat. You see, rather than having a simple targeting computer, the main guns of the Storm Speeder is operated by a gunner, [[Derp|who just so happens to have his head expose in between the weapon system.]] Similarly to the [[Invader ATV]], deaf jokes has been made at the gunner's expanse, with many in [[/tg/]] mocking the design by stating that the gunner gets immediate invuln save from [[Sonic Weaponry|Sonic Weapons.]] It also looks like even more of a [[METAL BOXES|flying METHUL BAWKS]] than the normal Land Speeder, although this is the ''least'' of its design flaws. The Storm Speeder comes in three variant, because of course they do.

==Variants==
===Hammerstrike===
[[File:SS_Hammerstrike.JPG|300px|right|thumb|BRUVA! I THINK MY EARDRUMS JUST RECEIVED 3 MORTAL WOUNDS!]]
The first variant with proper rules. 

The Hammerstrike is named after its weapon, the Hammerstrike Missile Launcher, which is a predominantly an anti-armour weapon system meant to hunt down enemy armour. In simple layman's term, it is an attack aircraft or a dedicated flying tank destroyer. Its profile matches its description. The Hammerstrike Missile Launcher is a Heavy 2 anti-tank ordnance that hits with S8 and AP-3, dealing 3 Damage per shot. Its 36" range gives it enough distance to soften any tank in its way whilst its hull-mounted 24" range Melta Destroyer deals the finishing blow with S8, AP-4 and, with the new upgraded Melta rules of D6+2 at half-range ([[Awesome|This means that it is dealing at minimum, 3 wounds per shot!]] [[Rape|Holy shit! Say goodbye to MEQs!]]). It also has a Krakstorm Grenade Launcher, but this should be reserved for TEQs and the like.

In terms of its hull and movement stats. The Hammerstrike is actually kind of a slow flyer, moving at just 16" in the movement phase. Although it has a decent WS and BS of 3+ and a solid Toughness of 6. It only has 10 Wounds with a pretty meh Ld of 7. So a dedicated anti-air platform of a sharpshooter can bring this thing down pretty quickly. Moreover, its Strength of 5 really hammers (Ha!) home that it should stay clear from Dreadnought-equivalents. At the very least it retains the pretty sweet 3+ Sv.

===Thunderstrike===

Unlike the Hammerstrike, which goes for relatively close-ranged anti-tank purposes. The Thunderstrike is an air-superiority aircraft that is equipped with much longer-ranged weaponry. In contrast to the Hammerstrike, the Thunderstrike is armed primarily with a anti-aircraft weapon (Which we presume to be called the Thunderstrike Missile Launcher). Moreover, it replaces the hull-mounted Melta Destroyer with a Lascannon, allowing for pin-point shots at long-ranges against enemy aircraft. Aiming with the Lascannon and Missile Lancher is assisted with two targeting computers, which has largely replaced the Krakstorm Grenade Launcher.

===Hailstrike===

The anti-infantry variant of the Storm Speeder and the most [[Dakka]] of them all.

The Hailstrike replaces the Missile Launchers with a twin-linked Heavy Stubber (Which looks suspiciously like the [[Autogun#Ironhail Skytalon Array|Ironhail Skytalon Array]]). Moreover, instead of a hull-mounted Melta Destroyer, the Hailstrike instead, have a [[Autogun#Onslaught Gatling Cannon|Onslaught Gatling Cannon]] to BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTT the enemies of men into a fine, pink mist. To further amp up its anti-horde role, it replaces the two Krakstorm Grenade Launcher with Fragstorms instead, so if you wanna do a mini-carpet bomb, there's your chance.
