This week's White Dwarf has photos galore on the new Flyers. Thanks to Blood of Kittens for breaking this.
Space Marine StormTalon Gunship
Ork Flyers
Necron Flyers
I have to say that the Space marine Stormtalon doesn't do it for me. The Ork flyer is awesome and can be made in 3 variations. The Necron Doom Scythe and Night Scythe kit is what we expected.
I am sure I will buy 6 Stormtalons for Apocalypse anyway.

So what rules do these use? When are they supposed to be available? Are they FAQ'ing the main 40k rulebook? aaarrgghh, How about they release stuff in conjunction with their rules. They are a multimillion dollar company and they cant sort out these issues. I lol'ed at the cropped ork pic though, an Ork Bummer... painful.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Will be buying the Ork and Marine ones
ReplyDeleteI'll have to add a full Ork air corps to my army. I never liked the look of WWII models converted to Ork sizing for Fighta-Bommas anyways. These look great and clunky like they should!
ReplyDeleteThe stormtalon is not too bad, Looks like a futuristic take on helicopter and VTOL gunship. The Ork fighters look orky so that's all good. Just with the Necron scythes had a cockpit canopy of some sort.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, how big are the Necron Scythes?
ReplyDeleteDoes the WD verify the pricing on the models?

I like the xenos kits. It seems weird to me though that an ork plane looks more earodynamic than a any of the human planes.
ReplyDeleteI have to say the TL assault cannon really kills the look of the Stormtalon, it's waaay too chin heavy. Oh well, at least it will be good for parts :)
ReplyDeleteThe other two look really good though.

ReplyDeleteIt doesn't have a cockpit conopy because they don't breathe air so they don't need protection for it(read the description for the Tomb Blades and it totaly covers that)
The stormtalon seems a little strange for design, in that it does not resemble the other space marines crafts as well. Smile. Although I will probably buy three of them. It also depends on how they will be listed in the codex. The necromancer ones look sooooo sweet to me. The original ones will be if I win the lottery!!
ReplyDeleteOriginal should have been orks... Man I can really hate auto fill in at times. Although one point I want to bring up is that when the roomers came up after the stormraven came out I was really hoping and even praying that it would have been a Thunderhawks... Cry!!! Oh well that is life. Smile.
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna lie, I quite like the Stormtalon's look. An interesting take a futuristic gunship. I especially like the larger window which allows for a more unobstructed view.
ReplyDeleteStorm Talon? That thing is Hideous...... Looks like a Canadian Military Sea King Helicopter..... You know... those clunky looking things that keep falling out of the sky..... lol
ReplyDeleteI got an Idea, ill strap some cardboard wings and some weapons to an Egg and call it a StormTalon, what a disgrace to the hobby... They should of just did a Land Speeder Tempest in Plastic instead... atleast that thing looks a little more aerodynamic than this floating egg of doom.... lol
