The Escort rule for the Stormtalon says it must come in within 6" of what it's escorting. Does this mean it can escort outflankers?

My buddy and I came across this and we weren't sure since we thought only units with outflank can in fact outflank, we rolled a dice so it didn't matter but is anyone has a standing answer I would love to hear it :)

Rules as written you can. It only lists 3 exceptions and the only thing it can't escort is deep striking units.
Cinematic.... Narrative....

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

if i had 2 stormtalons and say, an outflanking non dedicated transport with a squad inside, could i double attach since 1 talon would be escorting the outflanking squad and the second would escort the vehicle?

Until the rules are clarified I believe so, there was a lengthy debate on dakka.

1. You walk into GW and buy one. Then you either buy the White Dwarf with the rules for it, or you buy the Codex: Space Marines iBook. ;)

2. I hear they're as well armoured as a land speeder and more expensive without much more firepower. In short, I have heard they're kind of a joke.

I didn't know it was for sale,

I will have to give the rules a read, is it only available for SM?
