40k Flier Rumors are True!?

So apparently the rumors that GW will be releasing new flier models on June 2nd is true!  I am as shocked as you are, trust me, that the "Summer of Fliers" rumor from a year ago wasn't untrue it was simple a year off.  So what is coming in this release?  Necron, Space Marine, and Ork fliers.  More after the break.

Necrons:

  • Doom Scythe
  • Night Scythe
Orks:

  • Blitza Bommer
  • Dakkajet
  • Burna-bommber
Space Marines: (God I hope that means SW too!)

  • Stormtalon
Now besides the Doom/Night Scythes for the Necrons I have no idea what the other 4(!) releases entail.  But I know how you can find out.  Beast of War is going to have a video up tonight of all the fliers.  Not sure if this means on the sprue, built, or what exactly but here is the link. Beasts of War

I am extremely excited to see the Necron units, and to be honest I haven't been too excited about purchasing anything 40k for a while.  Since that book came out I have dreamt of building a Scythewing army.  I think it will be very competitive, I know I am nearly alone in this opinion, but I want to try none the less.  The only prohibition will be if the kit is hugely over priced.  It is GW we're talking about here so more than likely it is over priced but we'll see just how badly I want to do this.  The Stormtalon just sounds like a non-transport offensive type unit to me.  I don't know why but something about it says "I don't carry dudes".  I hope I am wrong, especially if SW can take one too...  My wallet, and wife, may be hating me pretty soon.

  1. I am so buying all of these flyers. I think the rules are going to be including these in 6th and they are going to be hot. I am a modeller at heart so the kits that look good get my money. By money.

  2. Tyranid Harpy or I'm pissed.

    It would be nice if Games workshop would make it our cheesy unit as well to make us competitive in 5th, but whatever if it happens it happens.
