The '''Warhawk VI''' dropship, commonly known as the '''Stormbird''', was an assault and transport aircraft used by the [[Space Marine Legion]]s during the [[Great Crusade]], before the introduction of the smaller [[Thunderhawk]] pattern{{Fn|1a1}}.

Capable of both void and atmospheric flight, the Stormbird was first manufactured on [[Terra]], by the Yndonesic Bloc for use against the Panpacific tribes, during the [[Unification Wars]]. They were in use throughout the Great Crusade, although by the time of the [[Horus Heresy]], most of the Legions had switched to the smaller, more agile Thunderhawk. The [[Luna Wolves]] were one of the few Legions that deliberately kept Stormbirds in service, since these ships had carried them into battle since the beginning{{Fn|1a1}}. A Stormbird was piloted by two Marines sitting back-to-back, along with two hard-wired servitors{{Fn|1a1}}.

During the Heresy, [[Nathaniel Garro]], former Captain of the [[Death Guard]] Legion, used a Stormbird to travel to various planets, on the orders of [[Malcador the Sigillite]]. Like Garro's [[Power Armour]], the ship bore no Legion insignia or colours, and was a uniform grey{{Fn|2a2}}{{Fn|3a3}}.
