The Vendetta is a heavy gunship of the Imperial Navy's Aeronautica Imperialis and is a more heavily-armed variant of the Valkyrie airborne assault carrier primarily used as a tank-buster in support of the ground troops of the Astra Militarum or as a transport for airborne combat regiments such as Imperial Tempestus Scion Squads and soldiers of the Elysian Drop Troops Militarum Regimentum.

The Vendetta Heavy Gunship is a Valkyrie attached to Imperial Guard units which, in addition to the increased armor, are equipped with three Twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s, and used as the aforementioned tank hunter role after dropping off any unit being transported by it.

Furthermore, it still retains the ability to mount two [[Heavy Bolter]] door guns. It may also replace the two hardpoint-mounted Twin-linked [[lascannon]]s on its wings for two [[Hellfury Missile]]s. Despite their impressive firepower, Vendetta Gunships lack the flexibility of Vulture Gunships, which are chosen more often for deep-range attack, strafing and urban assault missions.

Tabletop plays similarly in the fluff as the Vendetta fills two primary roles. Aside from its transport capacity of 12, it carries 6 Lascannons to enable it to act as a dedicated vehicle hunter, which generates a lot of [[rage]] as it can be taken in [[cheese|SQUADRONS]].

It pays through the nose for the privilege, but it effectively has a profile similar to a Space Marine [[Predator]], with the added benefit of being hard to hit, while packing 3 more wounds and the mobility to show up where you want it.
