| Ok, here is the rumours for supposed to be Flyer realase, the thing that cought my attention is new Space Marine flyer, which is a bad news for us. Look for yourself - Quote :
- June 2nd, "Swath of Flyers". Expecting to be a WD update.
Ork Flyer: 1 or 2 kits, 3 actual variants in total. "Dakka-Jet" BS2 Av10/10/10, Fast Skimmer, Aerial Assault, Supersonic, Strafing Run (BS3 vs anything against Jump Infantry and Skimmers), Waaaaaghplane (can fire twice during a Waaaagh). Possible twin-linked Dakka guns. Possible "fighter ace" upgrade, gives BS3 against everything. Lots of complaining about Av10 all round. blah blah blah wishlisting and speculation. "Blitza-bomba" Sketch looks like an Ork WW2 fighter plane. "Burna-bomber" BS2 Av10/10/10. Aerial Assault, Supersonic. "burna-bomb" S5 AP4 ignores cover, large blast, dropped in the movement phase. "Scorcha-missile" 24" S5 AP4 ignores cover, blast. Grot-gunner (BS3 weapon), don't know what weapon the grot will be gunning. Also has Waaaaaaghplane as above.
Space Marine Flyer: Stormtalon Gunship Looks like a Storm Raven with no wings (more sketches based off the actual model shown), with big thrusters on the side and what looks like a minigun (assault cannon) underneath. 130 points. BS4 Av11/11/11, Fast Skimmer. Supersonic, Aerial Assault. Twin-linked assault cannon and twin-linked heavy bolters as standard. Swap HB with TLLC or Typhoon missile launchers. "Skyhammer missile launchers" (upgrade?) 60" S4 SP3. Ceramite Plating (ignore extra D6 on melta). "Escort Craft" special rule, can attach vehicle to Deep Striking (might be any unit arriving from reserves) unit, will turn up with DS unit and arrive 6" away from the unit it is attached to. Has no flamers/meltas/multi-melta upgrades. "Hover Strike" special rule, can choose not to move for the turn and get +1 BS instead. NO transport capacity. Guaranteed use by Vanilla marines (model they've seen was painting in Ultra colours).

| Fine, I'll just pack up my DEldar and cry in the corner until the next update comes out.
The strength of the Stormtalon doesn't bother me, as it only has AV 11, but I don't like Marines encroaching into the Pointy Eared territories of super speed.
I'm not threatened, but more dissapointed by this. | |

| Moving this to GW/Others News & Rumours as it is not Dark Eldar news. | |

It does indeed. Pew! pew! Ugly space marine junk, keep it away from me! You can tell they need more ideas to keep the marine cash cow going. This is not something marine players needed. Yet no voidraven and no harpy for the nids. | |

| Everyone will just slap the TLLC on that thing anyway, and it's not exactly going to be a hard kill for some lances, if it was AV 12 front then I'd be worried. As stands, looks fine to me.
I will agree with a slight whine about Aerial Assault and Supersonic, but...meh, I felt the same way when every army got run. | |

| From the July WD (pp. 96-97) - WD wrote:
- IMPERIAL ARMOUR AERONAUTICA - Containing rules for over 40 aircraft and anti-aircraft vehicles, this new book also features a story-based map campaign that pits the noble defenders of the Imperium against the Arch-Enemy of Mankind, the dread legions of Chaos. Six scenarios allow players to refight the desperate struggle to control the world of Kerrack in exciting games of Warhammer 40,000.
It's not shown yet on the FW site, so I'm assuming that it will become available sometime during July. This would seemingly lend support to some flyers being released in August in conjunction with it, even if they are GW gw rather than FW models. I have seen a rumour of Tau and CWE getting something then along with DE. The flyers shown in WD are the Vulture gunship, Thunderbolt and Hell Blade fighters, Storm Eagle, and the Tau Manta. Will be picking this up for sure. | |

| Not Manta, Barracuda. Manta is the superheavy (and superexpensive) mothership, while Barracuda is the much smaller, all purpose fighter. | |

| Yup, Manta. There's a 'cuda next to it in the pic, but the blurb is for the Manta. The book looks like it will feature most, if not all, FW flyers, and it talks about using them in 40K, but I'm guessing that like the IA Apoc 2nd edition not all of the units included in this update will be valid for 40K. | |

| Come on FW, redo the Raven by making a resin kit to upgrade the Razorwing. Oh, wait, they can't hear me here... | |
