Forge World: Sokar Pattern Stormbird

Forge World bringen den mächtigen Sokar Pattern Stormbird, einen großen Transportflieger der Space Marine zurück auf die Schlachtfelder der fernen Zukunft.

Sokar Pattern Stormbird – 750,00 GBP

The Sokar pattern Stormbird is a dedicated attack lander. It has served as a high-durability orbital assault craft, a mobile bastion and firebase which could land a Space Marine strike force and withstand heavy ground fire while its cargo or troops and war machines disembarked to press the attack. One of the later patterns developed, the Sokar was the design precursor to the smaller Thunderhawk Gunship.

The Stormbird’s standard armament is four turret-mounted twin linked lascannon, three twin-linked heavy bolters, and a complement of six dreadstrike missiles. It is also equipped with particularly dense composite armour plating, and is further protected by a series of void shield generators which it can extend to protect disembarking troops and war machines.

Its cavernous transport bays can hold 50 fully armed Space Marines. Alternatively it can carry up to 5 Dreadnoughts, including the mighty Leviathan; Jump-pack equipped infantry; Rapier batteries; bikes; jetbikes; a Rhino armoured transport; or a mixed force of all of the above.

The Sokar pattern Stormbird is the largest Imperial aircraft we have produced. Weighing 6 kg and measuring over half a meter from nose to tail, it’s so large, a Deimos pattern Rhino can be loaded inside it and disembark by the rear hatch. Its interior includes extensively detailed transport bays and cockpit, and six Space Marine crew: two pilots and four turret gunners. Optional quad heavy bolters and twin-linked lascannon to be mounted on Stormbird’s four ball-turrets are included.

Rules for using the Sokar pattern Stormbird in Horus Heresy games can be found in The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List. Rules for using the Sokar pattern Stormbird in standard games of Warhammer 40,000 can be downloaded here.

Storm bird Landing Assault Force – 845,00 GBP

Not only is the Sokar pattern Stormbird heavily armed and armoured with four turret-mounted twin linked lascannon; three twin-linked heavy bolters; a complement of six dreadstrike missiles; incredibly dense composite armour plating; and a series of void shield generators; it also has a huge transport capacity.

Its cavernous transport bays can hold up to 50 fully armed Space Marines in power armour, or a mix of infantry, Dreadnoughts, bikes and more, even including a Rhino armoured transport.

As the Stormbird can carry half a Space Marine company into battle, we’ve paired it with a copy of The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth to represent a full strength landing force to disembark in the midst of the enemy.

The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth includes thirty-eight plastic models; a Praetor in Cataphractii Terminator Armour; a Legion Chaplain; a Contemptor Dreadnought, armed with a Close Combat Fist with inbuilt combi-bolter and a choice of multi-melta or Kheres assault cannon; a squad of five Cataphractii Terminators including a Sergeant, with weapon options including combi-bolters, power fists, lightning claws, chain fists, power swords, a heavy flamer and a grenade harness; and Thirty Legion Tactical Space Marines in MK4 armour, with a huge selection of weapons and custom features, including bolters, missile launchers, heavy bolters, chainswords, power swords, power fists, plasma pistols, lightning claws, plasma guns, melta guns, flamers, combi-weapons, combat blades, ammo packs, holstered bolt pistols and a selection of grenades. These thirty Space Marines make perfect Legion Tactical, Veteran Tactical, Legion tactical Support or Legion Heavy Support Squads.

Also included is the full Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth game, including four double-sided boards, beautifully printed on thick card stock; a forty-eight page book, featuring an introduction to the battle on Calth and comprehensive rules and scenarios for playing the game; forty-two command and reference cards, used to introduce effects and events into the game; twelve dice and an array of markers used in-game.

Rules for using the Sokar pattern Stormbird and all of the above Space Marine units in Horus Heresy games can be found in The Horus Heresy Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List.

Stormbird & Imperialis Landing Pad – 830,00 GBP

The Sokar pattern Stormbird is a dedicated attack lander. A high-durability orbital assault craft, mobile bastion and firebase for Space Marine armies, it is the the largest Imperial aircraft we have ever produced.

We’ve paired the huge Sokar pattern Stormbird with the Mars Pattern Imperialis Landing Pad – a Realm of Battle tile sized landing pad that was designed to bear the size and weight of the Stormbird. It’s the perfect platform to land a Stormbird and disembark troops, and also makes a fantastic, detailed display base for your Stormbird.
