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.

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}} It is believed that they are fashioned with dark arts that make them more than mere weapons. Their simple existence within the Materium seems to disrupt the natural order and spread malign influence, and the presence of large numbers of Hell Talons have been observed to create unpredictable Warp phenomena. These can take the form of [[vox]]-distortion, visual and auditory hallucinations, the darkening of skies, and climatic disturbances.{{Fn|1a}}
