Egh...so tempted...just to read the rules and see how this is going to work. I'm thinking about getting one of the sets (probably Faith and Heresy so we can add an UM flyer to our little Vedros "plus" army). I don't care for the Heldrake, I wish it was paired with the Ork plane. Second choice would be the Tau/Necron set because I am foolishly thinking about their Start Collecting boxes.

I just wish they were not so damn expensive...but I love how they kind of feel like model airplane sets. $85 is about the bottom dollar I've seen on them

Go Tau/Necrons. Outside of tyranids, they're the easiest to paint. If 40k orks have lost their humor they're out of contention.

Warhammer is the new Heroscape.

Well...the new Battle for Vedros stuff is actually not that far from being Heroscape. It cuts out like...hundreds of pages of rules. It's basically just move (6" or run 12" with no shooting), shooting (no templates, standard roll to hit/wound/armor saves), charge (2D6->base contact), fight. No point values, no psykers, no cover rules, no morale/squad cohesion (just a vague "must be within 2" of another model in the unit"). Units have one or two special abilities, very simple stuff. I'm not sure what they are doing with it, if it's going to be more than just this first wave but it could, if they sell it right, develop into a Heroscape-ish "junior" version of 40k.

This is kind of ridiculous but one of the main reasons I was thinking about Necrons is that they just put out this new silver that is awesome...it's SILVER silver, it looks so good. And they have some gem tones that would probably look awesome with them.

But this game SEEMS like a jaunt toward the X-Wing/Attack Wing crowd. The scale is way different- the ships are quite big- and it seems like it is not really geared for like big squadron battles. More like small dogfight engagements between aces or something.

It's really too bad that they didn't Dreadfleet it and include like $1000 worth of miniatures in the box, one of each of the flyers.

The Start Collecting for Tau definitely has the best value (3 freaking crisis suits???). Dark Eldar one comes close to it.

So, in answer to my question in the Gorechosen thread, 3'x3' for these flyers? I guess it's going to be 1 vs. 1 dog fights, but still seems cramped at that scale. But I've only played a little Wings of War several years ago, so maybe it's not as big of a deal as I'm making it?

Barnes, if you want good silvers, look at the Testors Mettalizer series. Or you could go all out and just use Bare Metal Foil.

I would say that the Orcs still have their humor intact. Wazbom jet

This game hits such a nice sweet spot for me, model airplane building AND WH40K. I am sunk.

I wonder if you could scale the game down to play using the Aeronautica Imperialis models. That game is OOP so minis are still pricey, but cheaper than buying the 40k flyers.
