So much herp, it's actually derp!
It just looks like a mini (half) caestus assault ram...

Looking at the bottom of the craft, I'm guessing there's an anti-grav component like that of the landspeeders?

Didn't this chapter have a fear of flying or is that just me?

It's okay, it's not flying! It's falling with style!

Wait, that might actually scare them more...

I think someone should put the GW flying miniatures in some wind tunnels and see just how poor they actually are. :P

To be honest I don't like it all that much. Then again, I haven't liked any SM flyers really. It looks a lot like one of their previous flyers with a box on the end...

Even the forge world 30k stuff looks cooler ( not all that surprising as its fw.) At least theirs look vaguely flyable

There's a reason I'm using PuppetsWar  (http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=187)for my Guard Fliers.

My first though was a baby Caestus assault ram as well...  There are a couple SW players in my area, so I'm sure I'll see one or two of these sputtering around.

That's a very pretty model CoffeeGrunt.  Could use some loot'n though.  ^ ^

Pretty enough that after some proxy playtesting, I'm getting two. :D

Why loot the Dragonfly when PW sells perfectly good Orkish Flyers?

To be fair, aerodynamics in model design is often non-existant. The Corvus Assault Carrier is a brick with flippers:
