New fliers on the way!

[DAMO.R]

its fairly obvious that this is legit for june as...

*Flips to back page of May's WD*

it basically says that next months issue is going to finnish the ongoing battle report and thats it but...

the picture for the battle report shows Necrons VS SM's VS Orks, all of which are rumoured to be getting the new fliers...coincidence?

Still no Voidraven though D:

So it looks as though the release timetable will be like this then (provided its pure 4ok untill october like it was for fantasy last year)

June - Fliers
July - 6th Ed
August - DA or CL
September - 6th Ed Starter Set
October - DA or CL

According the words on the grapevine (so to speak) the fliers supplement will be one of the first for 6th edition, which probably explains why the only models not out for the Necrons codex are their two flyers despite the fact the kit has been made. When Tau and Eldar arrive next year they too will be having fliers, the Nightwing and Baracuda being obvious choices. Orks will likely get the fighta-bomba as a standalone rather than as a codex release. Although it one of the first codices for 5th edition and is likely under the early stages of development for 6th as we speak, it is still a reasonably strong codex as things go so a finished product is unlikely to be soon.

Airplanes for my Orks!

Are these gonna be able to be used in normal games? (Marines and Orks I mean, the Necron ones are lol)

That is the word on the grapevine.

So the rumour is that Dakka Jets are 40 pts and have BS 3...sounds like Gretchin aircraft to me!

Whoa, I just had a flashback. Does anybody remember that old computer game, Command & Conquer? Well, the Stormtalon looks exactly like its GDI helicopter. Maybe it's just me.

I kinda like the SM flyer sketch, looks nice and simple but brutal. Plus, if those points to the stats are accurate, should be a good nail driver. hah Twin laz+twin assault= ouch for unlucky MEQs or non-landraider tank.

The Orca? I KNEW that it looked familiar!

Without mentioning anyone in particular i was talking to someone about this earlier today and wel lets just say that he said "hmm yes that does coincide with what i have heard" and this was from a good source.

i had to chuckle though as when i mentioned that BOW had done sketches of the pictures they saw he just said " The cheeky gitz!"

also on an unrelated but interesting note the guy who designed the new Necron special characters was in the Warhammer World store today! (no he was not my source)

Anyone else think the SM flyer is just ugly?

Agreed, but I thought the same about the Stormraven until I held one in my hands. Lovely kit, shame it didn't roll out across the board. I will reserve judgement until I see one in the flesh, but most likely will grab a couple whatever.
