''Wozz dat choppy sound?'' - Warboss Kirrog Legsnappa. Final words before being blasted by a missile barrage.

The only general purpose aircraft used by the Squats, and the only one they will ever need most of the time. The Eagle Gyrocopters served since times immemorial the various holds as powerful air support for their warriors. For all the size and mass, the gyrocopters are fast enough to keep up the speed with the other fast formations of the bearded ones. 

Gyrocopter pilots are often particularly cool-headed and strong-willed individuals due to the need to quickly react to the constantly changing currents on the battlefield, as well as constantly having to engage in intense dog fights with the fighter aces of other factions. Over time the number of pilots increased with the appearance of the Tyranids and the need to take on the massive flying monsters that all too often try to attack vulnerable places in the defense of Squat forces. It is also not uncommon for pilots to decorate their machines with remains of Tyranid fliers they shot down and to generally take part in repairing, rearming and conserving the copters.

Armed with a wild variety of weapons depending on the situation, gyrocopters can perform any mission. From lightning fast raids and harassment, precision assaults, bombardment, intercepting of enemy fliers, escorts, causing confusion via precise attacks and many more. Every hold will have a number of these machines ready for action and always on standby to rapidly start-off and engage the enemy. When a hold declares total war on a enemy, then entire squadrons will act as support for the massive Overlord Airships.
