My store has the WD with the new models sprues in it, and it looks like you only get one set of wings. Look at the details on the wings, and you'll start to notice some similarities. For example, there's three little ridges near the end of the wing on both sides. All three variants have the same ridges. Instead, it appears the wings are designed so you can change the angel they're set at, but you only get one pair. That said, it wont be hard to magnetize the bombs and rockets and then you can just add them on whenever you want to use a certain variant.

I didn't mean the whole wing, but the little space where you put the supa-shootas in, as well as putting strong magnets inside the wing to stick the bombs on it. I was unclear on that part I guess.

The skorcha-rokkits probably end up getting looted for kan, buggy and battlewagon weaponry
I really don't see them being useful outside of list tailoring, and I hate that.

What size magents do you guys think will be needed for it? I don't think it'll be the size of a storm raven IMHO just based on price...maybe it's because of all the weapon upgrades and things the stormraven gets but look at the difference in a land raider and a rhino and I just don't feel like we're getting the land raider at a rhino price

I'm pretty sure it will at least be Valkyrie/Vendetta sized, you can tell from the pictures with a flying stand.

Pricing somewhat depends on the number of sprues, the ork bommer is three sprues, the storm raven is four.

I've never seen a valk in person so I dunno but if it's at least 3/4 the size of a storm raven I'll be pleased. I'm going with the blitz bommer and the dakka jet first I think I dunno if it'll be like the storm raven and not gluing pieces means you can just pop things off easy enough or what but I'm hoping so. Because those of us who don't magnetize need as much help as possible XD

The Valk is about as long and wide as the storm raven, but flatter. The ork bommer is almost definitely not as complex a model as the storm raven is, besides that, size isn't everything

Magnetizing really isn't as hard as it sounds. The only thing you need to know, that magnets have to be quite strong to keep something tight in place. On vehicles you usually don't even need to drill holes, just super-glue them to the right places and you are set. Oh, and make sure the magnets are glued on the right side

Where would you suggest getting them? Any particular size you prefer? hmm I can't wait for this plane to get here =D they said my order shipped yesterday.

I'll wait till I have the model in my hands and then see what magnets I need.

I usually get them off ebay, you simply have more choice there than when looking at a single seller's page.
