	The Jetfighter was added to the Dark Angels' [[Codex]] in [[6th edition (Warhammer 40,000)\|6th edition]] to attempt to help set them apart from the other [[Space Marine Chapter\|Chapters]] of [[Space Marines]] that get their own codices. The [[lore]] justification is that the Dark Angels had the Jetfighters for longer, but only recently found the [[STC]] pattern of a superior engine that made them practical to use.

	Nephilim Jetfighters pack a twin-linked set of [[heavy bolter]]s and six "blacksword" missiles (36" S7 AP3, named because of their black smoke trail -- which is a lot more sensible than the [[Blood Angels]]' [[Derp\|"bloodstrike" missiles]]), with a choice of twin-linked [[lascannon]]s or an [[Avenger mega bolter]] in the nose. Not the most difficult of choices. Though, having twinlinked lascannons in place of the standard heavy bolters would make more sense given the mega bolter. Can help conserve ammo and soften particularly hard targets for the bolter to finish off.

			The [[Blood Ravens]] recently acquired several examples during a still unidentified skirmish in the halo stars. A large percentage of their membership. (in an unusually generous move.) petitioned to sell off copies of the STC, as well as exccess functioning examples, to other chapters. This is part of an ongoing [[Looted\|“tactical resource exchange exercise”]] made, as a result of the [[tyranid]] invasion of the Aurelia subsector. the exercise was developed by force commander hair gel and is codenamed operation: wingman. the [[Hawk Lords]] In particular have expressed a vested interest into acquiring a few of them.( they also have an agreement where the blood ravens will supply them with a few dark talons, but that is still in progress)

	The [[White Scars]] also utilize this jet fighter, and have obtained a different STC that has allowed them to make the fighter fly very fast (supposedly enough to keep up with [[Eldar]] [[jetbike\|jetbikes]]).

	All complaints about this thing are gone. It doesn't need to "Hover" any more, so it can drop a can of derp on a unit, then use the Rift Cannon to obliterate anything (it becomes a Vortex is you roll doubles for scatter) and it can shoot 12 BS5 re-rollable bolter shots to take out hordes. It's weapons may not exactly go hand in hand, it can come on, take out/debuff a unit for your Knights to take care of, then Rift Cannon the heck out of some termis or a vehicle. If your opponent has a couple large squads, the hurricane bolters will take care of them. It may not have any anti-air capabilities, but the Dark Talon got a huge buff in 7th.

	(8th Edition) Whaddya know, 8th Edition swooping in to buff this nasty guy even more. The Rift Cannon is now a Heavy D3 Strength 10 AP -3 weapon. Its Rift vortex works way better, no longer rolling scatter doubles, but now if the cannon cause any wounds to the target you roll a D6 against the Rift Vortex chart (3+/4+/5+ scaling with remaining wounds) and if you make the roll it deals an additional D3 Mortal Wounds. Pretty nasty stuff. Also like other 8th edition vehicles it starts with a BS of 3+, scaling up to a 4+ or 5+ depending on remaining wounds.

	(9th Edition) 9th Edition coming in once again to make this guy's life a whole lot easier. Rift Cannon now gains the new version of the Blast ability, meaning if it's dumping its shots into 6 or more guys for whatever reason it'll automatically have its 3 shots. The nicest addition to the Talon as well as the Nephilim is they gain the 9th Edition "Aircraft" rules, meaning they can fly off the board and enter into strategic reserves instead of just blowing up for "reasons." It can then scream BUENOS DIAS PENDEJOS as next turn it teleports in up to 9" away from enemy units before raining death on them.

	Anyway, onto your army. For 170 pts you get a TL Heavy Bolter, six S7 AP3 missiles with Missile Lock, and an Avenger Mega Bolter. The only problem so far is this isn't the "real" AMB, it's a stripped-down AP4 version. For 5 points you can swap it for a TL Lascannon.		Anyway, onto your army.

	The Nephilim is great against skimmers and other light tanks, but an 175 point investment that can't kill AV14 and takes three or four turns to kill AV12 is just too iffy for most players. That's only [[Rage\|25 points less]] than a [[Stormraven]] with the same lascannon + heavy bolter loadout. But the raven has far better missiles, +1 AV all round, ceramite plating, power of the machine spirit also has a transport capacity and can carry dreadnoughts		The Nephilim is great against skimmers and other light tanks, but an 175 point investment that can't kill AV14 and takes three or four turns to kill AV12 is just too iffy for most players.

	However, with the advent of the Death from the Skies supplement and the assignment of flyers into set roles, the Nephilim got a buff, mostly as a side effect when you compare it to what happened to other flyers:		However, with the advent of the Death from the Skies supplement and the assignment of flyers into set roles, the Nephilim got a buff, mostly as a side effect when you compare it to what happened to other flyers:

	Finally, despite the fact that Fighter craft are now primarily intended for use vs other Flyers, suffering -1 BS when shooting ground targets, the Nephilim keeps the ''Strafing Run'' rule so it gains +1 BS right back again. Meaning it hasn't lost much of its function against ground targets like all other Fighters did with the move into set roles. Whatever that means, because it's guns weren't exactly shattering worlds in the first place.

	Now 8th edition: Firstly, it's hell of a lot easier to run this thing as most detachments have at least 2 Flyer slots, secondly, this thing turned from possibly one of the worst Flyers in the game to a really scary unit. Why? All of its weapons got an upgrade in some way; the Blacksword Missiles are now good against 2+ save stuff due to how AP works in this edition and they're no longer finite, the Avenger Mega Bolter went up to 10 shots at Strength 6 AP-1 essentially making it an Assault Cannon with 10 shots and the Twin Heavy Bolter and Twin Lascannon now gain double shots because of 8th edition again. This thing reunites Space Marines, Flyers and Dakka together. Cool.
