===Thunderhawks===
The '''[[Thunderhawk]]''' is a heavily armoured space and atmosphere aircraft designed to be the ultimate Space Marine aircraft, providing air support/transport for the brothers of the [[Chapter]].
Only available to the Space Marine Chapters (and the [[Traitor Legions]] since the original design has been known since the [[Great Crusade]]) the Thunderhawk performs various duties for them: during high level space battles they act as assault/attack ships for high speed attacks toward enemy battleships or transport for boarding squads. Otherwise they are used as drop ships for planetary assaults or ground bombers for close air support and heavy bombardment missions.
