Is this all handled by thunderhawks? If so, what kind of capacity do thunderhawks have? It doesn't seem to be really discussed in the current marines codex, and I don't have any older ones...

Basically, I'm wondering how many thunderhawks would support a typical playably-sized detachment of marines for various army types.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/781918.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/781918.page GMT Re:Space Marine vehicle deployment and general retrieval logistics

-Thunderhawk ( apoc )
-transporter variant of thunderhawk ( fw rules )
-landing craft ( epic )
-stormbird ( HH-books )

Usually deepstrike either per teleport (termies), droppod (Command, tacs, devs, dreads) or thunderhawk (jumppackers, landspeeders).

The old pre heresy Stormbird had a greater capacity as the thunderhawk.
Thunderhawk is axctually a super heavy transport ( so apoc chart aplies for choice of passengers ) with a capacity of 30.
transport t-hawk, as OCD said.
Landing craft is part of epic ( armageddon ). May carry: 4x LR sized or 6x rhino based vehicles. Plus 12x units of infantry and termies and dreads still need twice the space of standard models.

In a pre heresy or HH game, stormbirds could be used. Otherwise the thunderhawk in 40k.

I am not aware of any situation where we've seen a Landspeeder carried, but it would not be unreasonable for them to be transportable by Transport Thunderhawk and dropped off at high altitude.

You can count up your own army to see how many thunderhawks it would reqire. (30 infantry to a normal thunderhawk, 1 LR or 2 Rhinos to a transporter). That would assume the entire group was dropped at once, which they often arnt.

IIRC, the strike cruiser which perfromed the first strike on Taros (which was done with a battle company) had 3 thunderhawks and 5 TH Transporters stocked on the ship. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/782054.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/782054.page GMT Re:Space Marine vehicle deployment and general retrieval logistics

Even though I've never seen them in the 40k Fluff, just HH, I would bet that there are still some Stormbirds in service with the original and second founding chapters. Particularly for Salamanders, Iron Hands, or Iron Warriors since they tend to be more tech-related. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/782070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/782070.page GMT Space Marine vehicle deployment and general retrieval logistics

i may be really wrong but i seem to remember that in an interview with john blanche on the old epic box cover that there are land speeders dropping from high altitude thunderhawks. if not ive read it some where im sure.
if anyone has WD 208 to hand they can read the interview.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/782260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244587/782260.page GMT Re:Space Marine vehicle deployment and general retrieval logistics
