Can confirm guys, definitely going ahead, nothing new in it just a compilation of all the flyer rules into one handy supplement, supposed to be au $35 so for every one else about half that price lol. Storm ravens are definitely able to be taken for Space Marines and Black Templar, bu that's the only change.

I hope the necron fliers get a 100% price increase and ruin all the cheese mongers flying circus armies.

If it does indeed include the Crusade of Fire dog fighting rules, does that not make the Crusade of fire book officially the most worthless and useless piece of bobbins ever released by Games Workshop?

So now Tau flyer included?

[Dalleron]

Sounds like there's potential in this thing. But I wonder why give the storm thingy to SM and Templars, but not DA or SW. Are they going to change it to be inline with the new DA flyer? So many questions. Are they adusting the Necron or Eldar fliers? I suspect they will do none of that. Many questions.

[Deadlift]

Tau flyer would be cool, but if were as close to a Tau release as the rumours are saying, I can see them being saved for a codex release. Which looks like it could be massive.

No that Honour goes to either the "Wargear compendium" they released at the end of 4th edition which became useless when 5th edition came out within months, or the hideous (not chaosy just bad) metal Chaos posessed which were released just before the new wonderful plastic kit.

I'll need to see it first to see if the rules for the fliers are any different.

But if the costs are different to those in a codex, its going to be hard to enforce, particularly if its a limited run book

[eldargal]

It's not limited run, just direct only.

[DrLove42]

Still its the same problem. How do you enforce a change in codex points? If it even contains such a thing

Would the new print runs of a codex be changed? Would the digital copy of Codex Necrons (for example) update?

[eldargal]

They could update teh digital cersion and release an errata in a few weeks when initial sale of new shiny thing are over.
