Editing Stormraven (section)

== Tabletop ==

It used to be that only [[Grey Knights]] and [[Blood Angels]] armies could take the Stormraven, because apparently, the Stormraven didn't exist when [[Roboute Guilliman]] wrote the [[Codex Astartes]], and because the Grey Knights did not see fit to allow others to use the technical plans in the millennia that they have employed the Stormraven (while the Blood Angels only got their hands on some Stormravens in M41), but when the Death From The Skies Compendium was released ALL [[Space Marines]] except the [[Space Wolves|Space corgis]] and [[Dark Angels]] gained access to the Stormraven as well. [[Retcon|Why they were never mentioned as having it before, they blame it on administratum bureaucracy.]] 

As 8th edition Dark Angels Codex it seems Guilliman have given the [[STC]] to the Dangles [[Noblebright|free of charge.]]

The model was released around the same time as [[Codex]]: Grey Knights; its initial entry in Codex: Blood Angels didn't even have a picture. As it was a fairly tough transport capable of taking 12 Marines, it became known as a "flying [[Land Raider]]," due to it AV 12 12 12, and was often [[Proxy | kitbashed]] as such. As far as actual preformance goes it's fairly versatile for a flyer, being capable of being given [[plasma cannon]]s, twin-linked [[multi-melta]]s, [[hurricane bolter]] sponsons, and a mish-mash of other weapons. With solid armour all around and three hull points, the Stormraven can take as much damage as it dishes out. 
8th edition has turned it into a monster. T7 and W14 make it pretty tough to kill. Every formerly twin linked gun is now two separate guns, doubling the volume of fire for most loadouts. Points-wise, it's a fair bit more expensive, but worth the increase.
