Is there a conversion kit I'm missing somewhere? All I can find is the DE Razorwing Jetfighter, and it doesn't come with the equipment to make a Bomber, obviously.

What happened here? Standard GW lack of support for their own codex units?

They were having issues with the bomber, so we've been left hanging! Ravagers will fill the void while we wait, right?

This has been a weird one for awhile. They would sell a good number of them with the DE need for ranged AT especially now that the dark lance has been nerfed a bit. I think most people use the next bigger FW fighter as a sub in or for the talented converters, kit bash their own.

Yes.

Tarn and damnation. I was wondering why I wasn't seeing more of them in lists.

2 Str 9 Lance weapons on a flier? Yes please. The bomb is just gravy.

I don't quite understand GW flyer logic. The "bombers" seem to be better AA boats while the "fighters" seem to be much better close-air support / ground pounders.

What gives?

These are the same people who gave the wings of Imperial aircraft square leading edges.

Both aircraft suffer from role confusion, but the bomber less, imho.

My most severe disappointment is the uselessness of all the missile options against armor.

Almost every missile in the game(not just DE) has that issue. You cant explode a rhino with a frikkin anti-tank krak missile.
