Have I missed it somewhere or can foot troops now jump into the air and hack at jet aircraft as they zoom past?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9397994.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9397994.page GMT Flyers in 8th
Means Assault Marines can powerfist planes, which is fun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398007.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398007.page GMT Flyers in 8th Necron flyers. Looks like they can only be charged/piled into by flying things.

Now that is an awesome mental image.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398016.page GMT Flyers in 8th
On a related note looking at the Stormraven for example nothing indicates it needs to Hover before you disembark models? Is that right, it can keeps zooming about and you just hop off whenever you feel like it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398037.page GMT Flyers in 8th

Well, Stormravens had that ability in 7th, too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398066.page GMT Flyers in 8th

Yes, although it must be at he start of the movement phase. Can't do the grav insertion thing of jumping out somewhere along the path.

Still good. Fly there, be hard to hit, next turn dump troops who can't move but can shoot and charge, then either hover or pivot 90 and fly off.

Also they can start on the board, so no wasted turn or stupid reserve rolls.

I'm using my 'Raven

Costs 300 points, mind!!!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398103.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398103.page GMT Flyers in 8th

Have you seen its special rules, yet? Normally that wasn't allowed in the first place, so it required a rule unique to those Transports in order to happen.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398131.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398131.page GMT Flyers in 8th

Yep, it's a variant of the Storm Raven from Forge World.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398140.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398140.page GMT Flyers in 8th http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398142.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/727138/9398142.page GMT Flyers in 8th
