	The '''Orion Assault Dropship''' is a [[Adeptus Custodes]] exclusive flyer and a giant golden <u>'''FUCK YOU'''</u> to any bastard that's in its vicinity. Used by the [[Custodian Guard]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]], it was considered as the Custodian's chief form of air transport and was considered as the analogue of the [[Space Marine]]'s [[Thunderhawk]] or even the [[Stormbird]].

	This golden Dropship is as heavily armed as a [[Land Raider]] if not more so, seriously this thing features two Lastrum bolt cannons which are turret-mounted on either side of the cockpit, two [[Spiculus Bolt Launcher]]s with vent systems and two [[Arachnus Heavy Blaze Cannon]]s to reduce your tanks to a pool of molten steel.

	Like the [[Thunderhawk]], the Orion Dropship can transport an army of your [[Adeptus Custodes\|walking golden condoms]] up to and including a [[Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought]] and a supporting squad of [[Sagittarum Guard]] and [[Custodian Guard]] into the fray, all in the comforting safety of an Orion Dropship. Although seeing how large the troop bay is, it is unknown how something as big as a Contemptor-Galatus would be able to fit in that thing. Maybe it was hung under the carriage of the Orion's troop bay, like the Pelican Transport from [[Halo]]? Or it could be that the Contemptor-Galatus somehow manage to pull off a Houdini via twisting its body in impossible positions. Occam’s Razor says it just lay flat in the troop bay and was rolled out to fight.

	With Toughness 8, 22 Wounds, 3+/5++ saves and -1 to hit from range this is still pretty hard to take down. It's been downgraded from a Super-Heavy Flyer (not even Titanic like the Manta or Stormbird are) but a starting move of 50", along with the Airborne and Supersonic rules mean it will get your Banana Boys where they need to go - speaking of which, it can carry 12 lads into the fray, or 7 if you want to bring a Deadnought. We still don't know where the dreadnought fits.		With Toughness 8, 22 Wounds, 3+/5++ saves and -1 to hit from range this is still pretty hard to take down.

	It's lost a lot of its shenanigans, most notably the complete absence of the Arae-Shrike. No modifications to try and fit it into 8thED, [[Fail\|it's just gone]], but on the flip side it has dropped from 600 points to 320, aka 50% more than a Land Raider		It's lost a lot of its shenanigans, most notably the complete absence of the Arae-Shrike.

	In summary, the Orion Gunship loses the all the cool rules it got from being the most pimped-out ride belonging to Big E's own posse, but you carry about the same number of dudes as before and still have all your fancy Golden Boy guns, while costing about half as many points as before. All in all, still a pretty good party bus as they go.
