==Known Patterns==
===Roc Pattern===
The '''Roc Pattern''' Storm Eagle is used primarily by the [[Minotaurs]] and [[Red Templars]], serving as a formidable tank hunter while sacrificing troop carrying capacity. It is armed primarily with a [[Vengeance launcher]] with Roc warheads.{{Fn|4}}
===Nighthawk-pattern===
Designed by [[Iron Father]] [[Sabik Wayland]] of the [[Iron Hands]] [[Space Marines Legion|Legion]]. This pattern was in use by the time of the [[Horus Heresy]] despite not having been officially sanctioned by the [[Mars|Martian]] [[Mechanicum]]. It was noted for its superior maneuverability, high velocity and inbuilt stealth technologies.{{Fn|7}}
The '''Fire Raptor''' is a dedicated gunship version of the Storm Eagle

[[Image:DarkFury.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Darkwing]]
The '''Darkwing''' was a specialized variant of the Storm Eagle used by the [[Raven Guard]] during the [[Horus Heresy]] and [[Great Crusade]]. These craft were constructed on [[Kiavahr]] and the technology that made them was not shared with the greater [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. This aircraft was extremely stealthy and possessed systems barely understood to the Imperium such as rad-shrouded armour and quantum field repellors. The space these systems took up however reduced infantry-carrying capacity. Thus, these craft were often used to insert small elite units deep into enemy held territory.{{Fn|3}}
=== Spiderwidow===
The '''Spiderwidow''' is an Inquisitorial void-capable variant of the Storm Eagle. It carries few armaments, lacking space in the enlarged plasma-housing for anything but engines and assorted sensor-baffling archeotech, but it retains wing-mounted lascannons and a pair of heavy bolters at the prow.{{Fn|6}}
