Just got my WD. The ork flyers are frakkin amazing. Fragile for sure but lotsa Dakka

The Dakkajet has an effective BS of 3

And all the flyers can fire every weapon when they move at Cruising Speed.

Any chance the valkyrie/vendetta/other fast skimmers will be receiving the move at cruising speed and fire everything rule? That would be nice....probably going to have to wait until 6th

There's nothing about updates for existing units in the WD, so I think we'll just have to wait til 6th comes out with an FAQ.

That would be because the pilot is a robot. There's no need for a pressurized canopy. Humans have them because we need air and a particular level of pressure (and different mixes of air at different levels of pressure) otherwise we suffocate or worse. No canopy makes sense - it's very limiting to your field of vision. So why have one if you don't need one?

So you don't look like your flying a baby toy

Unlikely, the Valk/Ven and the SR are transport crafts, not dedicated weapon platforms like the new flyers.

I like the Ork one give me five, no wait ten. I'LL TAKE THEM ALL! On the other hand, the Space Marine one looks..well like gak.

Really good point, I didnt realize that. Well, then I hope the Vulture gets made or something similar by GW or at least GW rules.

Honestly, this would be a good time to fix the Vendetta. Remove its transport capabilities and give it that rule to turn it into the gunship it's meant to be. It's unit description even calls it a dedicated gunship.

This would work in true GW style as it would alienate a portion of the Guard playerbase, and force others to buy more Valkyries.
