Editing Storm Eagle (section)

==Tabletop==
The Storm Eagle is an 18 Power, 14 Wound, Toughness 7 flyer with a 3+ save for your SPEHSS MEHREENS.

The Storm Eagle Assault Gunship is just that, an ''assault'' gunship, designed to carry your power armored super human killing machines, straight into the enemy, blast apart any heavy resistance, then airdrop your demigods of destruction onto whatever dazed and shocked enemies are still standing. With its twenty model capacity (with JUMP and TERMINATOR models counting as two models and CENTURION models counting as 3) the Storm Eagle can drop an absolute boatload of marines on whatever poor souls happen to be in your way.

With 8th Edition allowing various units to pile into a single transport, the Storm Eagle can carry a devastating assault package. You want 3 assault Centurions backing up your 5 Hammernators with a Captain to give them all rerolling 1s to hit? You got it!

Also the Storm Eagle is considerably more resilient than its 7th edition incarnation. Not only is it no longer blowing up in your face on an "Explodes!" roll on the damage chart, but the Hard to hit rule means that opposing gunners will have a harder time actually landing shots on your space plane. Just be aware if you drop into hover mode you lose this rule.
