Editing Stormfang

Just when you thought the [[Space Marines]] have created the most [[Stormtalon|un-aerodynamic]] aircraft ever, we get this... thing. In keeping with the Marine tradition of brutally massacring the air, the '''Stormfang Gunship''' is little more than a flying [[METAL BOXES|metal box]] built around a fuckhuge [[Helfrost Destructor]]. Almost like the [[Avenger Strike Fighter|A-10 Warthog]], but ten times dumber and even less aerodynamic. Appearance-wise, it looks like some Iron Priest just ordered his Artificers (a type of [[Chapter Serf]]) to strap a massive gun to the middle of a [[Caestus Assault Ram]] and called it a day. It comes with sponson mounts which can mount either [[Heavy Bolter]]s, [[Skyhammer Missile Launcher|Skyhammer Missiles]], or [[Multi-melta]]s, and can also mount [[Stormstrike Missile Launcher|Stormstrike Missiles]] or twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s on hull mounts. To top it all off, it can still transport six Marines, as it does share a frame with the [[Stormwolf]] transport.

Now, on the tabletop, this thing is identical to the Stormwolf in terms of defense (AV12, Ceramaite, and 3 Hull Points), and only costs 5 points more than its transporting cousin. Don't think of it as a dedicated assault vessel, though, owing to its abysmal Transport Capacity, the only Access Point being at the rear, and by the fact that it does not count as an assault vehicle. The Helfrost Destructor can fire either a dispersed or focussed beam, the former being Strength 6, AP 3 Large Blast and the latter being a Strength 8, AP 1 Lance shot. The Stormfang counts as a Heavy Support choice instead of Fast Attack (like the Stormwolf), and in all honesty, the Stormwolf might be the better choice, with a comparative arsenal, counting as an assault vehicle, and a much better transport capacity (16 Marines). Still shitty though and looks like a boat with wings on it.

How this flying box can fight against other aircraft (or even turn), I have no idea. As for Kitbashing, again just buy a Caestus Assault Ram and put few Lascannons on it for a count as.
