Subject: Aeronautica Imperialis - The Horus Heresy News
Any details about, is there a seminar we can expect to hear some info? EDIT: nvm.
The models look great, but I'm not sold on the hex-based board game direction. I'll give it a go like, but I'm glad I managed to get hold of a copy of the original couple of books at a reasonable price.

"The language of modern British politics is meant to sound benign. But words do not mean what they seem to mean. 'Reform' actually means 'cut' or 'end'. 'Flexibility' really means 'exploit'. 'Prudence' really means 'don't invest'. And 'efficient'? That means whatever you want it to mean, usually 'cut'. All really mean 'keep wages low for the masses, taxes low for the rich, profits high for the corporations, and accept the decline in public services and amenities this will cause'." - Robin McAlpine from Common Weal

have they said they're assault cannons, as they look more like punisher cannons?
All aircraft i've seen so far use assault cannon. Actually that look like the 5 barrels Avenger Strike Assault Cannon.
Which is great because I love the Thunderbolt and I also love dakka , hopefully they also had Marauder Destroyer option.
I've got Vultures with Punisher Cannons, and when I saw the model I immediately thought Punisher Cannons :-) But you're right - it does look more like the Avenger's gun.

Those aircraft look darn fantastic! I'm also glad to see orks appear and not just having another Imperial Civil war release. I wonder if that spells a hint for which Xenos faction might get AT titans in the distant future!
The only issue I've really got is that they've gone for hex based bases so whilst the models are of the right scale, it might be a bit of a pain fitting them into a future Epic re-launch. Then again a lot of people tend to not affix aircraft to their flight pegs so if you don't you can easily change up to rounds. Of course that might be a concern 10 years away.
Looks like the old Dogfight boardgame! Outstanding!

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleyways and mugs them for loose grammar.
Oh god those models are beautiful, and no apparent loss of detail going from resin to plastic. And hey, even if the rules suck you can always play the original!

Nope. AI is (and was) a separate game, as it should be. The models are AT/Epic scale though, so they'll all work when Epic inevitably happens
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.

The models do look (from what we can see!) to be a bit on the big side to 'work' with the new AT Titan models - not sure though...
Hope they fit that scale though, as I've little interest in this game but a LOT of interest in EPIC returning, so I'm hoping this is another decent step on that (probably long) road.

I like where you're going with this. I wanna play Killteam but with all Funko Pops!
I feel like you'd have to do something special for all the terrain for that game. I feel like it'd have longer legs as a licensed mobile video game... tonally friendly like a lego game.

I just want to see the doorways you build that are extra large on the top to fit the heads through
