So, it'll be like spearhead but with more wings and less tracks. I'm a bit sad at the rumour that the TBolt wont be getting a plastic kit.Still rumored as July wd rule set

Love the idea or hate it, rumours are starting to flow about the 'Fliers' expansion for the summer.

Re: GW's Summer of Fliers
the current nightwing is very nice, so as long as they dont stray too far from that design Ill be fine with it, aesthetically.
rules wise, and fluff wise?
probly better not to ask my opinion...

Re: GW's Summer of Fliers
I'm not; I don't have room for another one . In any case, I prefer Forge World's styling on the Baneblade, Shadowsword and Leman Russ Vanquisher. The Thunerbolt would probably be the same.Primarch wrote:So, it'll be like spearhead but with more wings and less tracks. I'm a bit sad at the rumour that the TBolt wont be getting a plastic kit.
Anyway, 40K's a stupid game to use aircraft in. Play Epic if you want that sort of thing. Or Aeronautica Imperialis for that matter.

Yeah, I like FW's style, but not their pricing structure.AndrewGPaul wrote:I'm not; I don't have room for another one .

I dont know about the scale though. Mount those Tbolts and Fighta-Bommas onto 5 foot poles, clear out a large room and to heck with the ground pounders I say. Tally-Ho old chap! Huns at 3 o'clock high.
40k scale aronautica would be well cool.

Re: GW's Summer of Fliers
until you knock over one of the 5 foot poles and your flyer smashes in to the floor.

Re: GW's Summer of Fliers
But it's plastic not resin, so it'll be ok. Anyway, the table kicker is gone now so I'm sure if you mount the poles correctly you'll be fine.Admiral-Badruck wrote:until you knock over one of the 5 foot poles and your flyer smashes in to the floor.

Re: GW's Summer of Fliers
It was - saw it at Games day, but it was too busy so I didn't get a go. They had a fenced off space and staffers moved the planes as directed by the players. They even had massive versions of the manoeuvre cards.Primarch wrote:40k scale Aeronautica would be well cool.

Re: GW's Summer of Fliers
We'd play...augh...Dawn Patrol, Blue Max? which was it ? A WW1 dogfighting game, much the same way, 1/72 scale models on poles. The plane was on a wire mounted to a clothespin to control altitude. But yeah, not a Japan-sized sort of activity.
