	Blood Angels also get a unique weapon - the Revelation-class Warhead Battery. Unlike every other Blood Angels weapon ever, this has a STR and AP value of -. Why? Because it's Heavy 4, Barrage, Large Blast, Blind, One Use and Descent Beacon. Which raises another point - what's a Descent Beacon? It's more Deep Striking goodness: "After the Revelation warhead battery attack has been fully resolved, the controlling player may place a beacon marker at the center point of any one of the Large Blast markers placed as part of the weapon’s attack. This marker remains in place until the end of the Blood Angels player’s next turn, and any friendly unit with the Descent of Angels special rule that deploys using the Deep Strike rules within 6" of the marker will not scatter."

	Oh, and you can swap the two quad heavy bolters (S5/AP4/Heavy6/Twin-Linked) with two twin-linked Autocannons, or a double Reaper autocannon (S7/AP4/Heavy4/Twinlinked), in case you don't worship that rotting corpse on th{{BLAM}} HERESY!

	In 8th Edition, the Fire Raptor has become even more of a flying machine of moving death than it has in previous editions. It becomes nearly as tough as a lander raider at T7, 16 wounds and a save of +3 but with a few more perks, namely the ''Hard to Hit'' and ''Airborne''. One adds a -1 to hit against this model and the other make it so that only units with the key word {{W40kKeyword\|Fly}} can charge it but it can't charge itself. Not only that, your two hellstrike missiles are no longer single use, so enjoy that 72" range or switch them out for two twin-las cannons. While very expensive, it's gotten a price cut due to chapter approved and now ~~its~~ definitely worth it to see orks and nids cry. With the April FAQ you probably forgot about it and put it back on the shelf, but you might want to dust it back off again because its price went back down in the 2018 Chapter Approved! ''Goddammit'', GW, decide on something for once! In any case, at this moment in time (though its price will probably be changed again soon) it's a ''very'' nice anti-horde option, while also being quite survivable itself due to high toughness and wounds statistics, and a -1 to hit against all shooting attacks, while the sheer size of the model also makes it a good fire magnet and distraction carnifex. A solid choice for any Chaos or Loyalist Marine army.		In 8th Edition, the Fire Raptor has become even more of a flying machine of moving death than it has in previous editions.
