Hell Talon
Hell Talons are fighter-bombers, and are the main aircraft employed by Chaos forces, including Chaos Space Marines and the more numerous Chaos militias. 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 lascannons, either a autocannon or Havoc Launchers, and incendiary bombs.
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.
The Hell Talon, as well similar aircraft are presumed to be the products of a corrupted forge world existing within the Eye of Terror. In combat the Hell Talon swoops low, strafing targets with lascannons and autocannons, and engulfing enemies in the superheated fires of incendiary bombs.
