So, it's up for pre-order (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Stormcloud-Attack-The-Eldritch-and-The-Beast-ENG)
I've got to say, I'm very intrigued by this.
If I'm reading the ad right, it looks like each set contains the full rules, and the necessary rules for other flies can be downloaded from t'internet. So rather than a 'go on, add some fliers to your 40k army' type expansion, this may in fact be a completely stand-alone game - and I for one welcome it.
I've said before, and even started a thread about it, that in 40k Fliers just don't work for me. They're gorgeous models, but the rules just don't make me think of sleak fighters and ponderous bombers, just overblown skimmers.
Of course, I've not actually played this so it could be a bit of a disappointment. But I'm willing to at least give it a go in my local store and see what's what :) If the game works, I just got me excuse to buy a load of fliers for my collection!
