Razorwing is my personal favorite. I actually got one when they were first released because I like the model so much.

I shall rule the world someday utilizing my cuteness. And I already have one minion to help me do it!

I voted Ravenwing/ nephilim because I want my fliers to be good for something. HAHAHA!

But no in all honesty, even though they kinda suck on the table, I do really like the look of them.

Is is just me or is the scale of the new Hemlock Wraithfighter/Crimson Hunter WAY off?

I saw the model in person for the first time the other day and the model was so incredibly small... The pilot looked about 1/2 the size of a normal Eldar guardian. It sat next to a Space Marine Stormtalon and made it look utterly massive in comparison.

I am not a fan of many of the Eldar vehicles, and the new Hemlock is no exception.

But the Dakkajet is by far the best

That is really a good sign that the handicapped can enjoy our hobby.

Heldrake, easily, though Dakkajets and Razorwings come in close second. I might be biased towards the latter two since they come from my main armies. I don't think most of the Forgeworld aircraft even compare to these three.

I think the Heldrake looks cool, and when painted well...
I don't want to play it, and I might still get one for a showcase piece.

Which flyer are you on about, and I'm sure it is more a case of, at the time you posted it, at least 19 people have a different opinion to you.

Here's to me in my sober mood,
When I ramble, sit, and think.
Here's to me in my drunken mood,
When I gamble, sin, and drink.
And when my days are over,
And from this world I pass,
I hope they bury me upside down,
So the world can kiss my ass!

Marauder is easily the best flier, but in terms of whats in the poll, Razorwing has my vote. Perfectly embodies eldar strengths of agility and grace while maintaining its darker look.

Definitely the Ork Dakkajet/Bommer Kit. Even the pilots shown are flavourful with their speed crazed faces as well as the grot gunners themselves frantically aiming their big shootas at other flyers on their tail. That mixed in with the fact that it looks like it can actually fly in an aerodynamic way just sold it for me. Kinda ironic that the race that is known for the most ramshackle "impossible" vehicles has one of the most realistically designed flyers compared to things like the flying bricks of the Imperium.

People say that a lot, but no Tau thing looks anything like anything that was in any Gundam series.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Honestly that's why I hate the Ork flyers. I've seen them used with very little conversion as Imperial flyers, and that's not Orky enough!

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

For me it has to be the Dark Talon. Dont have one yet but that will be rectified sooner or later. The gothic stuff on it looks amazing!!
