It defintely uses the flyer rules from apocalypse/forge world. Saying that thing could hover is crap. Then again... do the ork bommers have rules that force them to go forward? idk, so i'm useless again.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4408727.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4408727.page GMT Need help with a new Flyer http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4408871.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4408871.page GMT Re:Need help with a new Flyer http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4409144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4409144.page GMT Need help with a new Flyer http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4409561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4409561.page GMT Re:Need help with a new Flyer
i would say rather than having all the turrets guns having individual profiles perhaps group them all under one profile of a twin-linked heavy bolter that has a 360 degree firing arc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4444304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4444304.page GMT Re:Need help with a new Flyer I was thinking something like Spitfire...well, ok not exactly but something that's like that.

a fighter, really? its a second world war Short Stirling, a British heavy bomber.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4469721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4469721.page GMT Need help with a new Flyer
The flyer rules have it set up so you can fire up to four weapons at combat speed, so that would make sense with all the forward facing weapons. Since it was a bomber I would also pull the missiles and use it properly as a bomber.

Most flyers would be more symmetrical so I would have the two weapons on end of the wings be the same, and probably closer to the hull for big guns like that. (Personal opinion) I would expect the multi lasers since volume of fire would be more important then fine targeting with big weapons on a flyer.

Strikes me as more of a stay up high and bomb things then a diving to strafe the battlefield. So perhaps give it a special rule that allows it to drop two bombs as its flying per turn instead of one?

All in all I like the idea of using such models for 40k, especially with the large number of flyers that should be in this new edition. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4470111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4470111.page GMT Re:Need help with a new Flyer

Sorry, I am bad at identifying aircraft.

That is too many confusing guns. I suggest a bit of standardization if you will. Eg. replace the autocannons with multi-lasers (still can be twin-linked), and the storm bolter and plasma guns with heavy bolters. Because honestly it seems like it will be annoying to deal with all those different guns shooting. Also from a fluff perspective the logistics would be mind numbing, 3 different caliber guns, plasma fuel cells, 2 missiles, and power packs or a converter for the lascannon and multi-laser, techpriests would call it heretical just so they won't have to deal with the maintenance. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4477720.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4477720.page GMT Need help with a new Flyer http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4482134.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4482134.page GMT Need help with a new Flyer http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4483207.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4483207.page GMT Need help with a new Flyer http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4485982.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/455723/4485982.page GMT
