	According to their [[skub]]by book 9 lore, the Stormwing incorporated line infantry, mobile ordnance and training battalions. Valued more for their discipline and massed firepower on the open battlefield rather than their skill at arms. The Stormwing functions as the thinking mans wing, [[Ultramarines\|focussing on the application of Strategy, tactics as well as logistics upon the battlefield]]. This may not seem like the most exciting thing, but its function is of vital importance in the wider legion.

	Therefore the Stormwing had a high number of veteran officer Marshals for directing the men, and many Apothecaries for dealing with the wounded and were integral to massed infantry assaults for which the Stormwing was famous. Indeed, the first Master of the Stormwing also held the title of Chief Apothecary; and given the physical state of their later voted-Lieutenant, it would appear that they were highly adept at wars of attrition, given the large numbers of Apothecary's running around patching up the wounded so that they can fight on longer then they would normally be able to.

	The Stormwing was especially valued for their skill at reading the subtle shift of war when it came to the massed ranks of both friend and foe. The ability to change your approach at a moments notice was a highly prized skill, as adaptability and flexibility were key tenets of this wing. The Inner Circles of the Stormwing were notoriously difficult to gain entry to, with rigorous trials for those seeking to assume a higher rank such as Marshal. Only veterans of the largest engagements were awarded this badge of honor.

Though if Forge World's nonsensical Nu-lore is to be believed, one could argue that the standart Codex companies of the Unforgiven could be their direct descendants. Additionally, given the fact the [[Astral Claws]] have a good chance of being Dark Angels successors, similarities can be seen in the former's use of massed infantry, screening bikers and mobile ordnance in support of their mortal Tyrant's Legion.
