The most famous Fighta-Bommer is the dreaded "Vulcha", one of the oldest and longest serving of its kind. This is the personal courier of the infamous Boss [[Zagstruk]], leader of the elite "Vulcha Squad"{{Fn|1c}}. These [[Stormboyz]] used their aging Fighta-Bommerz to make deep strikes onto enemy positions by recklessly jumping from the Vulcha's bomb bays and firing their [[Jump Pack]]s at the last minute. The tactical advantages of this maneuver (barring any Rokkit-related mishaps) may seem fairly obvious, but they haven't been adopted by other Stormboy units, most likely because of the difficulty of retaining Meks with the skill needed to build a functioning Fighta-Bommer{{Fn|1b}}.
==Appearance in the Video GamesFamous Fighta-Bommers==In the video games [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War|Dawn of War]] and *[[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade|Dark CrusadeDa Vulcha]], there are no air campaigns, but Fighta-Bommerz appear to drop the various gubbins needed to assemble Ork base structures{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}}. In [[Soulstorm]], during the Boss [[KauravaZagstruk]] campaign, the craft appears in a limited combat role as an aerial support unit{{Fn|6}}. Gorgutz remains the only Warboss known to use the Fighta-Bommerz in this way.'s ride
