The '''Nephilim Jetfighter''' is a fighter aircraft utilized by the [[Dark Angels]] and their [[Unforgiven|Successor Chapters]]. Employed by their [[Ravenwing]] formations, the main role of the Nephilim Jetfighter is to conduct interceptor or air superiority missions over the battlefield, clearing the skies to allow their brethren on the ground to operate without fear of enemy air attacks. Of a robust and sturdy design, they are most commonly armed with twin-linked [[Heavy Bolter]]s, twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s, and six [[Blacksword Missile]]s.{{Fn|1}} Some are also equipped with [[Avenger Mega Bolter]]s.{{Fn|2}}
Since then, the Nephilim has been a common sight in Unforgiven hands. In 146.[[M41]] the Ravenwing formation was tasked with special reconnaissance missions during a massive tank battle between the [[Imperial Guard]] and [[Eldar]] on [[Kundra]]. After pressing deep into Eldar territory, the Dark Angels found themselves beset on all sides by the xenos' [[Grav-tank]]s. However with the aid of Nephilim jetfighters, the Ravenwing was able to clear the skies of the flying tanks and [[Jetbike]]s and win the day.{{Fn|2}}
