[[Image:Hell Talon.jpg|thumb|right|A Hell Talon]]
'''Hell Talons''' are fighter-bombers, and are the main aircraft employed by Chaos forces, including [[Chaos Space Marine]]s and the more numerous [[Lost and the Damned|Chaos militias]].{{cite thisFn|1a}}
==Overview==
Used in both aerial and space battles, the Hell Talon has a sleek form resembling an elongated double-axe head. Vectored engines allow for superior manoeuvrability. Superior in combat to almost any Imperial airship of any class. Its armament consists of twin-linked [[lascannon]]s, either an [[autocannon]] or [[Havoc Launcher]]s, and [[incendiary bomb]]s.{{cite thisFn|1a}}
A Hell Talon is sometimes [[daemonically]] possessed; in other cases they are piloted by a [[servitor]] hard-wired into the cockpit. Besides the pilot, the Hell Talon has two other servitor crew.{{cite thisFn|1a}}
The Hell Talon, as well similar aircraft are presumed to be the products of a corrupted [[Forge World|forge world]] [[Xana II]] existing within the [[Eye of Terror]].{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2}} In combat the Hell Talon swoops low, strafing targets with lascannons and autocannons, and engulfing enemies in the superheated fires of incendiary bombs.{{Fn|2}}
