so no not having skyfire doesnt ruin your plans, but it will really hinder you if its more than say 1 plane]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669616/8241925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669616/8241925.page GMT Airplanes? BRB for rules on Flyers, you'll find all the information you need. This includes movement restrictions, how they come onto the table, restrictions for firing against them, and what happens when they are destroyed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669616/8241928.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669616/8241928.page GMT Airplanes?

This ^ Dakka isn't a rulebook....
But, Flyers:
Can be shot by most direct weapons, needing skyfire to roll normally to hit.
Have a minimum speed as well as a maximum.
Cannot turn much, meaning they fly off the table quite often.
Sometimes have the option to enter hover mode, turning them into a skimmer instead.
Get to fire more often than normal, somewhat making up for the limited fire arc.

They're well armed, but tend to only get 3-4 shooting phases in the game and struggle to shoot at the same thing twice.

You can win a game - even against a flyer-heavy army - without skyfire units. Just be prepared to hunker down on objectives whilst getting shot at from the air. A lot.
