Ornithopter
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Ornithopter is a type of flying vehicle used on the Hive World Alecto.[1]
The Ornithopter has an elongated tail, massive engines and is armed with chin and tail-mounted gun turrets.[3]
Ornithopters also get deployed by the Astra Militarum, notably by the 8th Cadian.[2a] They can carry artillery observers, relaying targeting data to Basilisks.[2b] Ornithopters also operate as gunships.[3]
