Overlord Gunship
|
Not to be confused with the Necron Overlord or the Squat Overlord Armoured Airship.
The Overlord Gunship, or simply Overlord, is the Primaris-exclusive dropship used to support the bigger frames of the Primaris Marines. You would think the Thunderhawk would be big enough for all of them, but it seems they are too special to share the same vehicle with their smaller brothers. Anyways, the Overlord is noticeable for one thing. It is ECKS BAWKS HUEG, making a Thunderhawk look like a Stormtalon in comparison; akin to the old Stormbird of yesteryear.
- Length: 30-50m; approx
- Mass: 250-320 tonnes; approx
- Crew: 4 crew including 80 Primaris Marines; approx
Overview[edit]
In terms of specs, it is the Corvus Blackstar on steroids. Seriously, it has powerful quintuple engines and twinned hulls thick enough to permit insertion from orbit, like Thunderhawks or Stormbirds, and like Blackstars, Overlords possess twin transport bays with their own assault doors, but they're considerably bigger: they can carry up to 80 of your chadmarines, Repulsor Executioners and Implusor transports; read one of each or two of the latter, though it isn't clear if that is a trade in for the regular transport bays. They are also even more blessed with advanced technologies like fucking energy shields (guess Cawl kind of borrowed some of that sweet ass energy shields from the pointy-eared gitz). Additionally, the Overlord is equipped with anti-munitions cannons, wing-mounted Desolator Lascannons, nose-mounted Melta Cannons and Heavy Bolters fixed on its lower wing surfaces.
This thing is pretty much a flying Titan or an Imperial Manta. It has no rules or model because it was created by Guy Haley for Dark Imperium. So there is a high chance that GW forgot that it exists.
