==== Mk.I ====

Like their [[Vanguard-class Light Cruiser|Light Cruiser]] brother, the Adeptus Astartes Strike Cruiser comes in three Marks. The first, the Mk.I, shares the same on paper dps and crit chance with the MK.II variant thanks to the similar weaponry outside the Launch bay or in the MK.II's case, the [[torpedo]] launchers.

The MK.I isn't much of an improvement weaponry wise over the Vanguard Light Cruisers, specifically the [[Vanguard-class Light Cruiser Mk.II|MK.II]], since it only carries two launch bays, the same as all the Space Marine Light Cruisers and has a significantly higher points cost.

The benefit to paying that extra price does come in the form of significantly stronger assault actions which are nothing to disregard, and a significantly higher hull point total that makes the Strike Cruiser MK.I much more survivable.

It is armed with 1 Heavy Launch Bay carrying [[Stormhawk|Stormhawk Interceptors]], [[Thunderhawk]]s, [[Drop Pods]] and [[Boarding Torpedo|Boarding Torpedoes]], 2 [[Macrocannon|Macro Battery Weapons]] and 1 [[Bombardment Cannon|Bombardment Cannon Turret]].
