As rumored by Sad Panda. Although not only one but three boxed games

Preorder on June 25

Just to note: The Stormcloud Attack app has just been updated.

~ Ground Attack rules are now added
~ Scenario Tables added (although it's a D6 table to choose from the 6 missions so we'd kind of figured that out!)
~ Rules for terrain if flying low level missions added
~ Pilot skills corrected so the Ravenwing fighters point at Dark Angels skills, not Blood Angels.

20.6.16. - Rules for every Citadel flyer kit soon to be available

via the 40k FB page

We've seen reports online of some keen-eyed plane spotters reporting the approach of a new game.
Well, we don't want you guys to have to go scouting for rumours, so we got clearance from ground control to fill you in on Stormcloud Attack.
Stormcloud Attack is a brand new game of Flyer combat in the 41st Millennium. There will be not one, not two, but three(!) new sets on the way this Saturday, all of which include a rulebook and two opposing aircraft.

But you don’t need to wait until the weekend to prepare your aerial armada: rules for every Flyer currently available as a Citadel miniature will also be released alongside the new game.

Maybe it's time to paint that new Flyer you were thinking about?
Chocks away!*

*Turns out a ‘chock’ is a bit of wood used to prop up a wheel and stop a plane rolling away. We think it's probably quite unlikely that most races of the 41st Millennium use these. Please disregard this remark.

Faith and Heresy might be worth getting. I don't have CSM, so I could probably offload the Heldrake and still make a profit. Heck, I wouldn't mind keeping it just to paint.

This is awesome! what a great way to drop some $ get a pre-boxed game of some flyers that can be used interchangeably in either game.

Creative at least IMO!

Pretty nifty thinking GW, amazed at how many standalone rule sets they have released in the past 12 odd months, Overkill, Renegade, Assassinorum, Silver Tower, Lost Patrol, Calth. Maybe the sales of those have told them that this is the way to go?

I have poor eyesight, what is the UK £ cost?

Considering they just cut 90% of WHFB rules development, they probably have a lot of time to come up with extra standalone rules

I don't get the rules thing, though. I'm guessing most of the buyers are those who will split the box for miniatures, so why not just sell a box of two models without any extras? Is there an actual market for a set with two expensive and complex miniatures and some quickly patched together kiddie rules?

In GWs eyes there is no difference in a purchase for the rules/gaming experience and a purchase where the rules are discarded.

I quite like these box sets. The rules are okay and offer a quick hit. IMO these would be good for retail.

Why oh why! isn't it Eldar vs Necrons and Tau vs Orks?
That fits the fluff perfectly for rivalry. Has the Tau even met the Necrons? I can't recall them doing so other than with Blueberry 4chan fanfic.

I thought they did? I remember a bit in some codex fluff about a "Mars Attacks!" style encounter with the Necrons.

It's probably unavoidable if you want both flyers on the boxes, but it's kind of funny how they look like they're ramming each other.

As a fan of Tau and Necrons this would in theory be great if our flier didn't look like trash and be the single handed worst flier in the game.

I plan to get a new Barricuda from FW instead.

I'd imagine because they don't want to sell a ton of one box, and have a ton of the other box sitting there collecting dust. Besides, here's your meeting of the Tau and Necrons right here. Not everything needs to be based on already existing material. It's a big universe, with near limitless room for expansion.

Nice box sets but not really worth the price unless you can use both flyers or know someone who does.

These box games are ok but none of them are amazing board games.

So... can you make a Stormhawk or a Blastajet with these kits, 'cause if not that's pretty gakky.

They list a lot of the optional builds in the text, but I don’t see those names. As they were pretty thorough about all the multi-kit options you could make, I’m guessing the new sprues are not included.
