I'll be buying one or two of the SM gunships for sure....I actually like the squat look of them. Remind me of the gunships from Mass Effect 2 and 3

Hmm not a fan of the space marine one, can you say squaty stormraven? For some reason I'm suddenly reminded of Battlestar Galactica, man what were they called? oh yeah Cylon Raiders?

I really like the Space Marine one. I wish they had some kind of Daemon Engine equivalent to go in the Fast Attack slot.

It has been so long since I bought a White Dwarf I have no idea when they come out. Is the book out with the flyers yet?
I have to admit that the Ork Flyer has me interested in doing an Ork army....d**n eye candy....

Yeah, this WD has them.
This is how i would rate them
The SM one is like a 6/10, can come in on the flank. and has a 3 shot s7 missle pod, can be bs5 also, av 11 but ignore's melta like the storm raven
the ork dakka jet is 8.75/10, 9 s6 twin linked bs3 (for the most part) OR when you wagggh its 18 twin linked s6 bs3 shots for 125 points
the ork fire skorcha bomber is about 5/10, you have to buy the bombs st5 ap 4 no cover 3" blast, but at 10 points a pop, fully loaded its like 185 points
then ork dive bomber like a 8/10 can kill everything, including its self rather well, have a str7, 5" blast in the movment phase that get 2d6 armor pen, and can also drop a 3" inch str 9 ap 2 at the same time. only 135 points.

The ork stuff is awesome
Space Marine thing looks like just another sci fi ripoff, not too appealing
Necron one...meh looks like we expected it too, w so many people playing wraiths and spyders, cant see anyone trying to squeeze this one in the list points wise..a collectors item?

Actually my cron list has 3 of them...2 as the transports and one as the doom. Cant say I will be building the list though...not a fan of static armies and a big reason I got rid of my salamanders.

6th ed may change flyers but the necron one not have QS but then a super short range gun makes it kind of goofy

I love the storm talon. 60" missiles on a platform that can move 12" amd fire has great possibilities. If I had a vanilla marine army I would get one for sure.
Hey maybe I canplay my GK "counts-as" vanilla marines!

Hey maybe I canplay my GK "counts-as" vanilla marines! This is how I feel about the Storm Talon, I think it is excellent and people are overlooking it. It can escort in from reserve to take Assault Cannon shots, it has an interesting missile loadout and it is immune to Melta guns for an added bonus. I knew you were going to jump on the SM bandwagon and proxy those GK for Ultramarines, at least put an Asurman Blue wash on them before you start power gaming. |

Aside from a white scars build the only thing this ship is following in is scouts, scout bikers and scouts in a land speeder storm. it could be real nasty with white scars IF you could modify the dice roll. Its armour 11 so a 3 with a melta is doing dmg, but im shooting missles at it anyways With the the cool missles I think its like 155 or 165 pts when you could get two land speeders with MM, hf for 70 pst a pop? And you cant use the cool BS 5 shot when it come in on the flak
Unlike the ork ships that fill a roll that help orks alot (high str accurate shooting and high str anti Armour) this ship just seem very under whelming for the marine player.
If it could take like a under slung tl Laz cannon and then the 60" missiles this thing becoming a hell of a platform for the marine player.

I am guessing that we will see all these vehicles and recent codex flyers with Arial Assult have an an advantage over other shooters in 6th. My guess is anything shooting at a flyer will have an adjusted BS to hit a flyer or skimmer but anything with this rule uses BS. I think 6th will see a skimmer/flyer in every army. Plus it is just cool hehe. I cant wait to see all these flyers and dog fights on the tables!! Sounds like a great lock in event hehe.
