Stormraven Gunships are awesome

Stormraven Gunship, 200 points. BS 4, armor 12 all around, immune to Melta
Fast, Skimmer

Transport:
Can deep strike in carrying 12 models / 6 terminators or jump troops (!), and 1 dreadnought (!) clamped on underneath
I'll restate that: it can carry 12 dudes AND a dreadnought
If it doesn't deep strike, units disembarking can assault like it was a land raider
If it moves flat out (24") units can still disembark by sort of falling out along the path it took

Weapons:
just like a land raider can fire 1 more weapon than usual and at a separate unit

1. first weapon system:
   - twin-linked heavy bolter
   - twin-linked multi-melta
   - or upgrade to typhoon missile launcher for 25 points (48" Heavy2 normal missiles)
2. second weapon system
   - twin-linked assault cannon
   - twin-linked plasma cannon
   - twin-linked lascannon
3. third weapon system: 4 bloodstrike missiles: 72" S8 AP1 One-Shot
4. fourth weapon system: optional hurricane bolter sponsons (6 twin-linked bolters, that means either 24" heavy 6 or 12" heavy 12, all twin linked) for 30 points, making it a land raider crusader that can deep strike

So you can kit it out for long range with the typhoon launcher and the free lascannons, or you can kit it out for extreme twin-linked dakka with hurricane bolters, assault cannons, and heavy bolters. Typhoon launchers and hurricane bolters can both fire as defensive weapons too, so thats moving 12" firing a bloodstrike missile and frag rockets across the table or moving 12" and unleashing assault cannon and hurricane bolters into a horde of enemy and dump a dreadnought and squad of 10 guys and 2 ICs to shoot and then assault

Their only weakness seems to be their fairly weak 12 armor, even though they're protected against melta they're extremely juicy targets and there is a lot of stuff that can shoot them right out of the sky, so they'll have to use their flat out cover save and threat management carefully to be effective.

Theres no model for it yet but I'd love to make one out of a Valkyrie http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/wildernesscamX/Z_IG_Valkyrie_749.jpg . I can imagine mounting the dreadnought upsidedown on the back with its legs folded up, so its armor would blend into the ship for atmosphere entry, and it would hinge down and drop to land facing forward and right side up

I like what I see so far, and the cool part is the codex fluff hints that grey knights are the only other unit to use the Storm Ravens, so perhaps next year when daemonhunters get an update they can use it too.
