Spoiler:
These go up for preorder on Saturday, April 30th. They will be released on Saturday, May 7th.
The Stormhawk Interceptor is $55 USD.
Death From the Skies is $58 USD.
From Warhams-77(who got it from MiniWar and BoLS):
Let's see how much this actually increases game time. If flyers destroy each other earlier in the game it could balance out. If it makes for tense battles it could be worth it anyway
It says 23 updated datasheets. So no FW flyers for us. At least in this book.

Hi all,
I already have my copy of the book, and after a quick go-through:
(As usual, translations may not be 100% correct)
- There is a new detachment:
Air Superiority Detachment
Is formed by 1-3 Flyer Wings*
Restrictions: All models have to be chosen from the same faction
Benefits:
- Air commander; If the commander of the Wing is in reserves, re-roll interception, If you have superiority and your Chief is in Reservers you add +2 to your reserve rolls instead of 1.
- Combined formation: You choose to make a single reserve roll for the whole formation if you want.
- Transport that have the hover mode have the Objetive secured rule.
Of course I need to read the book to know what it all means.
All the existing flyers have the same point costs and rules as in their current codex.
The stormhawk costs 125 points and comes with: Twin linked assault cannon, twin linked heavy bolter, "super laser thing" (24", S9, AP2, Heavy 2), Ceraminte plating, and one ítem that allow the stormhawk reroll when jinking. Has the supersonic special rule.
May exchange the laser thing for an Icurus Cannon for 155 points. May exchange the heavy bolter for a Typhoon missile launcher for +20 points or for a Celestial hammer missile thrower for +5 points.
Now I have to go, but will be back in one hour and a half (aprox).
(Cannot translate the ork weapons)
Twin-linked 36", S8, AP2, Heavy 1, Blast, Gets hot
1x 36" S1D6+4, AP1, Heavy1
5++ vs one single hit each enemy shooting phase (May be exchanged for an ork energy shield 5++ to be bearer and all models at 6" for +25 points)

Looks like, but they have to be taken as part of the detachment mentioned before.
The book says that all the flyers described in this book replace their Data Sheets in all the current codex. Seems that this rules are coming to stay.

Do Tyranids even count as being part of the "flyers" club anymore? Maybe they'll finally get a plastic Harridan and be able to field Gargoyle swarms to splatter up other races' windshields.
Our only good unit is a FMC. Does that count? Giving Gargoyles a rule like Starcraft Scourge would be awesome though!

I think you're better holding out hope for something that isn't currently in production at FW. It is interesting to note that the biggest thing that got discontinued from FW's Navy line? Bombs.
I know that I'd be ecstatic for the Guard to get a Marauder kit with the Destroyer and Vigilant variants. Marauder does the heavy lifting, Vigilant gets to be a command and control vehicle for the army--boosting up the range of Vox and Orders, granting bonuses to Reserve rolls, etc.

Yeah, but lets not kid ourselves. If there is a new group of flyers coming out, one of them will be for Space Marines. The Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle are prime choices because they make use of Stormraven parts. And GW Plastic doesn't necessarily make FW kits go away.

They also pulled the Barracuda, which I found very surprising as it seemed to be quite a popular kit. I was hoping that they'd rerelease it with the upcoming Tau/Ad Mech IA book, but now I'm hoping for a plastic version!

Since we're all daydreaming and that don't cost a thing, I'd love Imperial Navy stuff, maybe even some sort of heavy lander for Guard. All the mentions of drop ships in Gaunt's Ghosts and not a single reference picture to show for it
"We have lost the element of surprise, and they do not fear us. Perhaps they will appreciate our devotion to the Emperor and our ruthless efficiency."
Imperial Navy flyer kit with their own formation/detachment similar to imperial knights. Let all of the imperium rejoice!
Also, hoping the Harlequins get a fast attack slot anti vehicle flyer. It's the only thing missing that would allow them to compete against any army out there (I currently ally in a formation of nightwing interceptors for the job)
If the Summer of Flyers isn't plastic Thunderhawk, we'll never get it.

Hmm, it's probably going to be 28mm scale isn't it?
Why do I have the feeling that the whole 'specialist games' revival will be all in 28mm? Knights fighting each other, 28mm flyers...maybe Adeptus Titanicus with FW's Warlord Titans?
Well, Blood Angels and Grey Knights are the only Loyalist Space Marines that only have 1 flyer variant if I'm not mistaken, and they did share the Stormraven before. Perhaps they're getting a Stormtalon-esque gunship?
They are one of the few codexes left without the new 'Decurion' style formations, so I'm guessing they'll get some campaign book like Curse of the Wulfen sooner or later.

Chaos stormraven?
That could work. And actually, it's worth mentioning Betrayal at Calth in this line of thought. That and Renegade makes two boxed games that are designed so that you can have the two sides be combined into a single Imperium or Chaos army. That's starting to look like a pattern to these new specialist games.

I was hoping this would be a 6mm flyer game :( 28mm is terrible for a flyer game, 15mm is probably the biggest you'd want to go for a dogfighting type game. 6mm for one that is bigger scale than a simple dogfight.
Reading the rumours, I take it as
1. There will be 2 new flyers and a supplement.
2. There will be a flyer game including /discounting 2 older flyer kits.
It would be nice to see eldar show up outside of their codexes.
Perhaps they try to fix both DE and BA with pimped flyer power.
And perhaps Valkyries for the flyer game -awesome kit that probably dont sell as well as they used to (these days I would not even say renegade valkyries sounds impossible).
