The only thing on the GW Australia site is the HH rulebook which has been "Temporarily Out of Stock" since the day it released, I still haven't been able to get my hands on a copy.

I did think the Arvus Lighter and Marauder variants on FW would have stuck around, looks like they're gone also.

They might as well discontinue the rule book and be done with it.

It seems odd that they've kept it up when it was direct only and they haven't even resupplied it in the entire time it's been up on their site.

I can't imagine it sold a lot of copies, I want a copy but can't even find it via high seas villainy.

Ended up buying a bunch of planes to fill out my squadrons. Mostly blown my hobby budget for the year, so new Epic is going to have to be something special for me to buy into it on release.

After more than a year of waiting, GW sent me a notification that the Horus Heresy Aeronautica Imperialis book was back in stock in Oz.

I wonder if they put it back into production, or maybe they just shipped a few copies from another region. None of the actual aircraft are available.

We'll see if they still intend to support AI once the imperial aircraft are repackaged for LI.

Still, with all the xenos stuff "squatted", I highly doubt it.

Depends what you mean by support. The Imperium flyer kits will still be produced so all GW need to do is keep Aeronautica bases available (either in the model boxes, or separately) and keep that book on sale, and the game is "supported". It certainly sounds like that's what will happen.

Perhaps in the future we'll get new flyer models (such as AdMech) for LI and those will come with an AI datacard. I wouldn't expect any more effort than that though; meaning no new AI boxed games or expansion books for a while.

It seems that Aeronautica isn't quite dead yet...

You’ll also find hexagonal bases for Aeronautica Imperialis, sporting radar patterns as well as adjustable dials to display altitude and speed – so you can use your new Legions Imperialis aircraft in games of Aeronautica, too.*

...could there be more support going forward? Time will tell...

Thats not any different from what we already knew. They told us pretty much from the word go on LI that AI would live on in the HH setting and that the minis would be cross compatible.

Not for xenos. Aside from Necromunda, FW appears to be pulling out of 40k and going all-in on HH.
