    Forgeworld avenger good news/bad news

    Well, the good news is the sisters have a share of the new flyer - the avenger.
    Forge World - AVENGER STRIKE FIGHTER

    The bad news is that you could paint it bright yellow and drop it straight into the star wars prequels.

    I'm not much of a fan of the lightning but at least it's got the aquilia shape form over function thing going for it.

    It's better than a lot of the recent crap they've put our flier wise. I spot Lascannons, perhaps an assault cannon on the underside and a autocannon on the back?

    TL lascannons and a cut-down vulcan megabolter. The rear facing gun is a heavy stubber. They'll all be at BS3.
    I'd guess an option for two hellstrikes for 20 points looking at the wings.

    Still think it's a pity - as ugly as it was the lightning looks much less out of place next to the sisters than this thing.

    Anyone have thoughts on point cost / weaponry upgrades? I've looked around google and so far it seems like rumor mill has pegged AV will be at 11 or 12. 150 pt costs I'm seeing people guess at just seems to be too cheap / good to be true. The other thing I wonder, will this be sanctioned at tournaments that are not apoc games? The repressor for example is an obvious improvement and point for point rediculously cheap compared to the immolator. As such, it's an imperial armory model and only usable in apoc games or if you are playing a friendly game where your opponent doesn't mind.

    One thing no-one has so far mentioned in this thread is that in one other significant way, this model is extremely good news. That is: if sisters have been mentioned in relation to a brand new model, then it would seem more likely that sisters aren't as likely to be left out in the cold to die as some have been suggesting for a few months now. We can use its presence to raise a glass to the fact that the fate of the Squats is less likely now to be the path the sisters are sent down.

    They've been mentioned in relation to a model made for an entirely separate faction - forgeworld have gone so far as to state that they won't do anything specifically for the sisters for the foreseeable future.

    Really this is no different to forgeworld releasing a new variant of the baneblade and adding "but sisters really like it too". Nice to be mentioned and all, but it's functionally little more than the footnote that they already get on vehicles like the arvus.



    edit - rumour has it that the avenger is an HS slot choice.

    So I finally broke down and bought the aeronautica book last night. With any luck it will hopefully make it here in a couple weeks. When it does I look forward to seeing the stats and point costs. I sincerely hope that if it is indeed a SoB flyer, that the BS is 4. Considering it costs more than the IG vendetta with fewer weapons it better have some kind of saving grace..I hope.
