The '''Stormfang''' is a type of specialized Gunship used by the [[Space Wolves]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==For the Space Wolves, the Stormfang Gunship is the final word in aerial superiority. Designed to dominate the skies in the manner of the dread ice wyrms of Fenris, a Stormfang’s ferocious armament mirrors the fighting qualities of the Space Wolves themselves. {{Fn|1}} Stormfang Gunships are flown in squadrons known as "aircraft packs", commonly marked with motifs including the fangs of the storm and the gaze of Morkai and numbered by their squadron position by fenrisian runes.{{Fn|4}} ===Weapons===A [[Helfrost Destructor]] runs along the length of each of these deadly attack craft – a formidable weapon designed to freeze the target area to absolute zero in an instant. Evennotoriously unyielding materials such as [[ceramite]], [[ferrocrete]] or the [[wraithbone]] of the [[Eldar]]cannot hope to withstand the thermal shock of plummeting to such base temperatures, and shatter beneath the lance beam’s icy touch. Most Stormfang pilots are boastful of the deadly firepower at their command, and mark their craft with tallies of their fallen foes.{{Fn|1}}
In addition to the Helfrost Destructor, the Stormfang is armed with sponson-mounted twin-linked [[Heavy Bolter]]s, [[Skyhammer Missile]]s, or [[Multi-Melta]]s and hull-mounted [[Stormstrike Missile]]s or twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s.{{Fn|1}}
