	Hop forward to 8th edition and... it's a lot better. First off, it has a good amount of wounds but not enough to qualify for a degrading statline, which is awesome. The [[Plasma Storm Battery]] is one of the few Plasma weapons that is Damage 2/3 depending on if you supercharge or not and has pretty large fire output which is boosted further with the help of Weapons Of The Dark Age and an Assault Cannon on top of that. This is the Dark Angel's Plasma fetish going too far. But they don't care. Still looks awesome too...		Hop forward to 8th edition and... it's a lot better.

The [[Dark Angels]] are known for hogging several technological marvels for themselves and their [[Dark Angels#The Unforgiven\|Unforgiven]] successors that for some reason never quite reached the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] like most such discoveries are meant to....because the Angels are not good at sharing shit.

	The origins of the Vengeance can be traced back to the 36th Millennium (no specifications if it was early, middle or late). Back then the Dark Angels stumbled upon an STC belonging to a bigger, bulkier Land Speeder with superior lift-engines that could allow the machine to be outfitted with weapons normal Speeders wouldn't be capable of lifting. The Dark Angels had, for a long time, an ancient weapon in the armory of The Rock. An ancient ~~plasma-storm battery~~ that was collecting several millenia worth of dust which they didn't know what to do with...until they found the aforementioned Speeder STC. They mounted the plasma weapons on it and so the Vengeance was born. Since its creation it has served the Ravenwing as a very much needed mobile weapon platform.

	To briefly describe the Land Speeder Vengeance, if a normal [[land speeder]] could be compared to an [[Bike Squad\|assault bike]], the Vengeance is a flying tank. It is a larger version of the Land Speeder with more dakka that serves as a quick response heavy weapons platform. Its speed can let it fly to a trouble spot quickly and its ~~plasma storm battery~~ can make melted smears of the enemy in an equal amount of time. The downside: it's a 140 point Land Speeder. 50 for the Speeder, 90 for the plasma, and no protection on your AV10 flying kill-machine beyond a basic jink. Deploy it wisely. It'll also glance itself to death in a few turns due to the fact that <s>the Imperium</s> everyone forgot how to install cooling systems on vehicles somewhere around 6th edition. Which is weird both because the weapon was made back during the Great Crusade when plasma weapons worked great, and because the Dark Angels use properly cooling plasma weapons otherwise.
