Ok, so I am allowed to take 10x separate Storm Talon fighters for 1000 points . . . TLC would be drooling at the prospect.
Seriously I would check out the effects of spamming the ST; even at 200 points a pair this brings back the shades of the Tau '5 aces', especially with a 45cm ground attack that can sit outside most AA and still pick off enemy formations. Even if that is only a single shot, repeated attacks are likely to have a desired effect purely through laying BMs.
Ha ha! Yeah there's potential for general beardiness if those stats were taken verbatim. Remember now, that's what's in the Iron Hands list, not suggestions for general use. In that list there's plenty of army wide restrictions that prevent that sort of deal but in a more general list that could be a problem.
They're in the 1/3 allies section but there don't seem to be any other restrictions that I can see? 10 x individual Storm Talon in 3k looks perfectly abusable. Build the rest of your army around taking out or suppressing the enemy's AA and if you succeed your 10 Storm Talons would have free rain on them, with nothing the opponent could do.
You really need to make Storm Talons 2 for 200. Drop the weapon upgrade option for them too, no other aircraft in the entire game has a weapon upgrade option for a secondary weapon, the game abstracts these.
