[[Image:Sky Talon.jpg|390px|thumb|right|A Sky Talon displaying its empty magnetic clamps. Due to its uselessness as a transport, this is the most common state it will be found in.]]

A Valkyrie that has had its weapons and crew compartment scrapped in favor of four magnetic clamps that can carry either two [[Sentinel|Drop Sentinels]] or a single [[Tauros|Tauros or Venator]].

A support aircraft used for heavy lifting in combat theaters, the Sky Talon is armed for self-defense and to assist the other assault carriers as they clear drop zones of the enemy. Standard armament is a nose mounted [[Heavy Bolter]] turret and two [[Hellstrike Missile]]s under the wings, which can be replaced with two [[Multiple Rocket Pod]]s. Despite its armament, it is unusual for Sky Talons to be used in a battlefield role. As such, it is a relatively new design created by the AdMech.

In [[Dawn of War]], this is the vehicle that drops off prefabricated Imperial Guard vehicle components, as well as parts for the [[Baneblade]] at the Mars Pattern Command.

In [[Dawn of War 2]], it drops off turrets, personnel, and vehicles.

While these flying heavy Bolters lack real purpose as transport (noting that Tauros are fast vehicles, and drop sentinels can deep strike), consider taking them for their Multiple rocket pods option:
At the same points cost as single Taurox, and with rocket pods they can really ruin light infantry's day (2 5" blasts and TL Bolter, for 100pts? and it flies? thx me want).

So basically, it’s an [[Star Wars|LAAT/c]] for the Astra millitarum.
