First Look at Dataslate: Storm Wing

Dataslate: Adeptus Astartes Storm Wing is the latest release for the 2013 Advent Calendar (25 days of Digital Releases) by Games Workshop Digital. Formations are still a sticking point for many, as their full ramifications have not yet been utilized on the tabletop. One thing is for certain though is that formations and dataslates are going to become hugely popular.

So lets take a look at this new formation is.

Adeptus Astartes Storm Wing
The formation consists of 2 Storm Talons and a Storm Raven.

Data Lattice: As long as their is one storm talon alive, the formations Stormraven Gunship has the strafing special rule, which adds +1BS to shooting at ground targets, and adds pinning.

The next special rule, just allows the both Storm Talons to escort the Stormraven at the same time, resulting in one reserver roll, etc.

So while the special abilities might seem a bit underwhelming at first, there just might be some serious tactical advantages for this, after the Stormraven can excel at taking out ground units. Another thing this formation will allow, are more options for Space Wolves and other Imperial Armies that want to field these flyers, but have limited flyer options.

Both vehicles types are the units from codex: Space Marines.
