====Fast Attack==== *'''Corvus Blackstar:''' The air transport Space Marine players (and most Imperial players) have been waiting for since the beginning of time. The Corvus Blackstar is a complete beast, being a flying transport [[Awesome|that's also an assault vehicle]] while being durable enough to get your dudes where they need to be, and killy enough to justify being 60 points more than a Valkyrie. The Auspex Array is useful if you're taking the Stormstrike Missiles, as they aren't Twin-Linked and BS5 can help you land your shots. Otherwise, take the Infernium Halo Launcher. The Corvus is a transport, first and foremost, and the last thing you want is for it to get shot down with its precious cargo still inside. :The Lascannon pairs up nicely with the Stormstrike Missiles, and if you're planning on hunting heavy armor or tough MCs with your Kill Team, they pair together nicely to help soften it up at range. The Blackstar Rocket Launcher offers some versatility in dealing with different threats. A cover-ignoring Large Blast will soften up hordes nicely, while the Corvus warheads can be used to tangle with other fliers and Xenos vehicles (as most of those are skimmers). You should weigh it carefully against the Stormstrike Missiles, though, especially if you've built your Veterans for melee. Stormstrike missiles are Concussive, so if you save them for the turn your Veterans disembark and charge, you can drop your hapless target to I1 and ensure your Heavy Thunder Hammers get a chance to swing. The Locater Beacon can usually be skipped, there's others to ally in if you want to make sure Deep-strikers don't go anywhere (Grey Knights and Mystics do the job way better), not to mention that unless you're using a Skyshield Landing Pad, the Blackstar's going to start in reserve as well, and might show up after the Deep-strikers. :The Hurricane Bolter is useful against armies where you expect to fight a fair amount of infantry. While it's not necessary it's a handy bit of [[dakka]] to add alongside the Assault Cannon, and it buffs up with Strafing Run quite nicely.
