Attack Craft are the small, carrier-launched craft that provide far-ranging support for battlefleets in combat. The difficulty of hitting such targets with anti-ship weapons makes them a formidable weapon, but they are held back by their lack of endurance.

Most attack craft fall into one of three broad categories: Fighters, Bombers, and Assault Boats.

  • Fighters are small, one-man craft that intercept and destroy enemy attack craft and ordnance, but lack the firepower to damage starships.
  • Bombers are (relatively) large, lumbering craft that carry heavy anti-ship weapons.
  • Assault Boats clamp on to enemy ships and deliver their cargo of elite soldiers for a short but damaging boarding action.

Tyranids

The Tyranids use a number of organisms that approximate the function of fighters and assault boats, but they are far too varied to be categorized into distinct classes as such.4
