Editing Orion Gunship (section)

=== 8th Edition ===

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.

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

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.

If only it didn't cost £289.
