God-Potato of Mankind Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's a Sokar Pattern Stormbird, costs 850 points ingame and weights 2/3rd of a Warlord so is estimated ~£800 to £900.

Arkangilos Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So looking at that from my phone with the brightness turned down, at first glance I thought that contemptor was a space marine, and thought, "that looks smaller than a thunder hawk, why would it be more expensive?!" Nope, when I realized that was a contemptor, my jaw dropped.

Nope, when I realized that was a contemptor, my jaw dropped. And keep in mind that the Sokar pattern is the smallest type of Stormbird.

DuskRaider Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'd say I doubt they'd release any larger versions, but Tau Manta. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320466-flying-fortress/#findComment-4338549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's pooping Rhinos. I need to find the rules on how much transport cap this thing has. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320466-flying-fortress/#findComment-4338630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerichus Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's pooping Rhinos. I need to find the rules on how much transport cap this thing has. according to what I've heard: 50 model transport size and you can take a dread or rhino in it As I recall they're each worth 20 model's worth of space; plus with the rhinos they count as 20 regardless of the models in the rhino; Transport Matryoshka doll!

markham82 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Someone put up the datasheet earlier a little way ago in the news and rumors section. It looks awesome.

Slips Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Its in book 5 Tempest. Super Heavy Flyer, Av 14/13/12 iirc, 2 void shields, 5+ invulnerable, armored ceramite, 12 Hull Points. 50 transport and can carry a fully loaded rhino counting as 12. Has 5 turret mounted Twin-Linked Lascannons, buncha missiles (afb, I forget what they are) and can be upgraded to be able to call in an unlimited amount of S:D Orbital Bombardments which, if taken, brings its points cost north of 1k. It can also project its void shields outwards from its hull a few inches (6 or 12, iirc) to protect the disembarking units. Bunch of other upgrades too.

Harleqvin Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'm glad they have the transport capacity being 50. that's at least half a battle company. I said this before when this was first shown in the HH weekender thread. It just looks too small from how they are described in the BL HH books. It's just a reinforced Thunderhawk gunship and it looks like it could barely hold 2 rhinos inside of it. I was hoping it was going to be bigger honestly.

And now you understand why the Marines in the HH novels hated the Thunderhawks and called them spit-and-paper thin, barely put together boxes. They got to ride in THESE before.
