FAQ:
Why are there no decals for the various Space Marine chapters?
Not all Space Marine chapters have official art depicting how their Storm Eagles are decorated. This along with the significant increase in files size that comes from additional decals is why there are no decals currently present save the one labeled 'Firebrand'. In future an addon could potentially be created adding more decal options but there are no plans currently to do so.
Will there be a vanilla version of this mod?
Unlikely. As of this point there are difficulties in working with both the vanilla and WotC SDK simultaneously due to issues arising from the last SDK update. This has in turn stripped what little urge I have had to make vanilla versions of my mods.
Why do certain cutscenes not have the Storm Eagle present?
Cutscenes that do no show the Storm Eagle are those that have been pre-rendered. Pre-rendered cutscenes include loading screens, region contact cutscenes, and story cutscenes.

Valkyrie or UD4 Cheyenne from Aliens would be nice

Please Please PLEASE can you do a UNSC Pelican mod in this style? I would probably marry you

A valkyrie would be incredible, or an arvus lighter

Now I wish that someone made a mod like this that replaces the Skyranger with an Astra Militarum Valkyrie.

@Spart117MC & @Dimascus This mod is incompatible with Long War of the Chosen, can someone please fix this with a patch or something.

I tried to run it anyways, it doesn't crash the game, but it doesn't allow the new model to show up either, the entire exterior just the default avenger which I could customize still thanks to skyranger skin mods. The interior was correct, not the exterior though...

UISkyrangerArrives is the mod conflict between the two mods, if someone could make a work around for both mods to work together. The Long War of the Chosen community and myself would greatly appreciate it.

For some reasons standard skyranger model is used when deploying troops on all standard missions... Seems like a bug. Because the screenshots clearly show the model should be used.
