Golden Throne be praised! She is finally finished.

The Stormtalon Gunship.

The Stormtalon is used by the Space Marines as both an air-to-air interceptor and ground attack aircraft. Swift enough to engage most enemy aircraft, it also packs a heavy armament of Assault Cannons, Missile Launchers, Heavy Bolters, and other weapons. The Stormtalon is a versatile vehicle, capable of serving as an escort fighter to protect Space Marine assets on the battlefield or as a close air support attack craft.

To a few chapters, such as the White Scars, Raven Guard, and Hawk Lords, the Stormtalon has potential beyond close air support and interdiction. For these Chapters, the Stormtalon excels as a vanguard strike aircraft, able to keep pace with Assault Marines and Land Speeders. In these operations the Stormtalon's role is reversed, being used as the principal attack vehicle as opposed to simply a support craft. The remainder of the Chapter's rapid-moving elements act as escorts, clearing the way of anti-aircraft fire.

This particular example is armed with twin linked assault cannon in the nose turret and two Skyhammer air to ground missile launchers, with a compliment of six Skyhammer missiles.

Controls!

Ag1,2&3 are unused.
Ag4 arms the Assault Cannons.
Ag5 unlocks the aerodynamic control surfaces. For level flight.
Ag6 activates the control gyro systems. For station keeping whilst hovering
Ag7 unlocks the nose turret and targeting auspex. Cam 1 gives you the aiming auspex, pitch and roll moves the targeting system together with the turret. Ag6 and 5 should never be activated togetjer with Ag7.
Ag 8 is the stabilising gyro. Leave this on for hover, take off and landing. Deactivate for level flight.

To take off;

1- Activate ag6 and VTOL full down. Machine God be praised.
2- Throttle to 30. Maybthe Omnisiah guard your toolkit.
3- use trim to keep her level.
4- You are now hovering. Well done.

To fly;

1- Increase throttle to 40
2- Vtol to neutral
3- keep her level with trim
4- once you have enough airspeed, deactivate Ag7&8, activate Ag5.
5- You are now in controlled forward flight.

Landing;

1- throttle to 28 (ish)
2- deactivate Ag5, activate Ag7&8
Vtol full down
3- keep her level with pitch - the gyro should help.
4- use pitch, yaw and roll to manuver, throttle at around 28 should set a reasonable sink rate.
5- Find the ground.
