Previously only available to those who went to Games Day, the Fire Raptor Gunship can now be ordered from the Forge World website as per their latest newsletter:
[URL="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/FIRE_RAPTOR_GUNSHIP.html"]Fire Raptor Gunship[/URL] - £95
The Fire Raptor Gunship is a specialised variant of the Storm Eagle known to have its origins in the Imperium’s dim and distant past. The vehicle is configured to maximise ammunition stowage in order to feed the voracious appetite of its numerous weapons and this is achieved by sacrificing the Storm Eagle’s transport capacity.
The secrets of the Fire Raptors construction were lost sometime after the Horus Heresy but Fire Raptors are now being fielded in increasing numbers across the countless war zones of the 41st Millennium, suggesting that an as-yet unidentified Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World or Adeptus Astartes Chapter Forge has come into possession of a complete STC imprint.
As much as I love Heavy Bolters, I gotta say I think it looks better with the Autocannon side turrets.

FW: Fire Raptor now on sale

Either there is life in the universe more intelligent than us, or we are the most intelligent form of life in the universe. Either way, it's a worrying thought!

definitely looks nice - I just find it strange how the chaos/legion version is arguably better (you don't really need PotMS with the turrets being independent already, and the Reaper Batteries are just plain twice as good as loyalist autocannon) while costing less points...

Cos for once Chaos don't get the raw end of the stick? The Chaos Storm Eagle is flat out worse than the loyalists
I need one. Maybe two....One pre Heresy Word Bearers, one post....Autarch, Shas'o, Chaos Lord and Decadant Lord of the Webway. And a Doctor!
