Land Speeder “Thunderstroke”

In operations the Black Griffons are deployed in extreme small and specialised units. The whole strike unit is usually transported and deployed by the Land Speeder Thunderstroke. A heavily modified Land Speeder with the ability to transport up to four Space Marines in Power Armour. Some armour had to be sacrifices to make this possible, but the tactical possibilities were breathtaking.
