Just want to note that the Storm Eagle was dropped from Imperial Armour 8.
The Caestus Assault Ram seems to have taken its place and its stats certainly make it a stand in for the same combat role. I'm thinking...
==
AV, 35cm, 5+RA, 6+, 5+
Mega Melta - 15cm, MW4+, MWFF (like multi-melta)
Firefury - 30cm, 1 BP, one-shot
Skimmer, planetfall, transport (2, including 2 termies)

5+RA to reflect a combination of the armor values and the special defenses (invulnerable save from the front, ceramite to prevent melta penetration), much like the Eldar Wave Serpent.
35cm because it has the booster rockets (otherwise, I'd have gone with 30cm).
The Firefury is a one-shot rocket pod, so I used the Valkyrie as a model. There will normally be 2-3 in a formation and I would expect them to be used almost exclusively as an alpha-strike.
This might be a bit better than the Storm Eagle stats, but we were talking about them being possibly too expensive. I'm leaning towards 125 for 2 (Termies) and 175 for 3 (RG Assault and Tacs).
