→Overview: Added some info from Avenging Son
Overlords are a new aircraft that seems to be an evolution of the [[Thunderhawk]]. It has powerful quintuple engines and twinned hulls thick enough to permit insertion from orbit like Thunderhawks or [[Stormbird|Stormbirds]], despite being similar to [[Corvus Blackstar]]s.{{Fn|1}}
Like Blackstars, Overlords possess twin transport bays with their own assault doors, but they're considerably bigger and even more blessed with advanced technologies like [[Void Shield|energy shield]]s.{{Fn|1}} The cockpit sits between the two halves of the double fuselage.{{Fn|2}}
===Armament===
An Overlord is equipped with anti-munitions cannons, wing-mounted [[Lascannon|Desolator Lascannons]], nose-mounted [[Melta Weapon#Melta Cannon|Melta Cannons]] and [[Heavy Bolter|Heavy Bolters]] fixed on its lower wing surfaces.{{Fn|1}} In addition, a variety of missiles can be mounted to the wings, and the flanks of the Overlord are studded with crewed weapons bubbles containing heavy guns. The wings may be tipped with gatling las.{{Fn|2}}
===Transport Capacity===
An Overlord can transport up to forty at least eighty [[Primaris Space Marines]]. {{Fn|2}} During the [[Ardium|Battle of Ardium]], an Overlord transported one early-pattern Space Marine and thirty-nine Primaris Space Marines, some of which were wearing [[Power Armour#Mark 10 "Tacticus Armour"|Mk X Gravis Armour]],{{Fn|1}} while an Overlord attached to [[Fleet Tertius]] of the [[Indomitus Crusade]] carried forty Primaris Marines (fifteen of which were [[Aggressors]] in heavy Gravis plate) in each of its twin holds during a boarding action.{{Fn|12}}
