[[File:99120101117_Stormwolf360.jpg|300px|thumb|Whoever designed this thing needs to get hit in the head with a thunderhammer. By the Allfather!]]
[[File:Darke_APA-159_-_LCVP_18.jpg|300px|thumb|left|It also looks a lot like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCVP_(United_States) an IRL WWII naval landing craft]. Only more stupid and impractically designed.]]
The '''Stormwolf''' is a [[Space Marines|Spess Mahreen]] [[Stormraven|assault transport]] used by the [[Space Wolves]] chapter. It shares the same design/shell as the [[Stormfang|Stormfang Gunship]], which is of a shipping container with engines strapped to one end. The 'Space Wolves' (*cough* [[Games Workshop]] *cough*) insist that it looks more like a wolf's snout, although the only way to make that comparison is if you were a [[Space Wolves|blind drunkard]]. It continues the tradition(s) of both GeeDubs being lazy enough to [[Wave Serpent|share]] [[Falcon|frames]] [[Devilfish|for]] [[Hammerhead Gunship|multiple]] [[Rhino|army's]] [[Predator|vehicles]] and the Space Marines utterly slaughtering the wind with their [[Metal Boxes]].

Although maybe it's just shaped like a LCVP, see left, or a [[Stormtalon]] with a cargo container attached. And considering its weapons loadout, it can conceivably be used for space boarding operations like a [[Caestus Assault Ram]], with lascannons destroying point defences from afar and multi-meltas blasting into the hull. Of course, like Caestus, nothing could have prevented Space Wolves from adding more anti-gravity plating to the thing and using it for planetary landings to a similar effect. Unfortunately, such wishful thinking would only work if the Stormwolf ''was'' an assault boat. But no. This fucking thing just has to be an [[Pretend|'assault plane']] (Plane being used ''very'' loosely here). [[FAIL|No amount of real world vehicles will save this abomination from being mocked as a physical embodiment of GW gross incompetence in designing a proper plane.]] If you want something that doesn't look like a boat with tiny wings. Just convert one by mounting Hellfrost Cannons from the Space Wolf Dreadnought Kit to a Caestus Assault Ram.

== On the Tabletop ==

Tabletop-wise, the Stormwolf is a Hover-capable Flyer that comes in the Fast Attack slot for the Space Wolves. It weighs in at 15 points over 2 [[Thunderfire Cannon]]s, and has a transport capacity of 16 models. It is an assault vehicle as well, with an access point at the front. Befitting a glorified assault boat, it comes with a decent Armor Value of 12 all-round, and 3 Hull Points. It's [[Dakka|loaded]] with weapons, boasting [[Twin-Linked]] [[Helfrost_Weaponry#Helfrost_Cannon|Helfrost Cannon]]s, twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s, and 2 twin-linked [[Heavy Bolter]]s. It also comes stock with Power of the [[Machine Spirit]] and Ceramite Plating (which means that Melta weapons do not get their bonus die to penetrate). It has the options to swap the twin Heavy Bolters for a Skyhammer Missile Launcher or 2 [[Multi-Melta]]s for 20 Pts. each. The Helfrost cannons can either fire a single Strength 8, AP1 24″ ranged shot, or a S6, AP3 Blast attack at the same range. With a nice transport capacity for your [[Grey Hunter]]s or [[Blood Claw]]s, this thing is suited for launching deep into the middle of a packed gunline and unleashing CQC [[Rape]]. The only real downside is if you're fighting against armies with heavy AA like [[Tau]], in which case your flying [[Rhino]] will be shot out of the sky (but even then, AV12 and Jink make it a fairly tough target).

A famed Blood Claws pack under Erik Sverngson makes use of a notable Stormwolf named the ''Jorek''.
