In addition to the vehicle data sheets this book also provides you with the wargear and special rules unique to the terrifying airborne war engines of the 41st Millennium. Alongside these is a new narrative campaign, the Scourging of Kerrack, which provides six new missions specifically designed to incorporate aerial combat into your games of Warhammer 40,000 and Apocalypse, including detailed rules for developing Ace pilots over the course of the campaign. Also included is an Apocalypse rules appendix, updated for the 6th edition of Warhammer 40,000.

This 112-page, full colour, hardback book is lavishly illustrated with photographs and line drawings as well as campaign maps, and it is an indispensible reference for any hobbyist who’s collection contains a Forge World flyer. Imperial Armour Aeronautica is available to pre-order now for despatch from 27th July.

Psychic cards, check. Gamers edition, check. I was certain they would be out, but my shop got in a whole box full of Gamers Editions and you better believe I snagged one while I could.

Agreed, well worth the purchase. The templates and servo-skull tape measure not so much, but the GE, well worth it for the bag alone.

Have you checked the specs for the Spartan yet? A carrying capacity of 25 Marines. A BS of 4, 14 armor all around and HP of 5. Mounts 2 quad lascannon or 2 Laser Destoyers, a twin-linked heavy bolter or twin-linked heavy flamer. I can't wait to get mine in Chicago on the 28th.

Madam, punch me if you can!

It's about time the Space Marines get something decent(you know, like doesn't blow itself up) to take on Titans with.

The Spartan is a great (and rare) example of FW writing rules for a model that is under priced and overpowered. Which is something of a rarity with FW, as they usually underpower and overprice their models, just to be on the safe side. Though this is made up for with the limited range of the main weapons. Also, not sure how 25 models are supposed to fit in that. Then again, a Rhino is supposed to have a capacity of 10 models..

Finally, it still doesn't poop out a line of models like in the old days!

Imperial Avenger Strike Fighter - http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/AVENGER_STRIKE_FIGHTER.html



The Avenger is a dedicated strike fighter, intended to conduct high-speed, low-level attacks on ground targets, with armoured vehicle formations and high-value strategic assets such as munitions dumps forming its principal prey. The Avenger Strike Fighter boasts firepower that exceeds most other Imperial aircraft of its size, and its particular reputation as a tank-killer is due to the Avenger bolt cannon it carries.

The Avenger is an ancient design, believed to originate on Ancient Terra sometime during the Age of Strife. It was adopted by forces loyal to the Divine Saint Sebastian Thor during the bloody wars of faith and schism now called the Age of Apostasy. Its effectiveness is such that it is now a staple of any Imperial Navy air support mission, holding a glamour of holy import in the wider Imperium. The Avenger is often specifically requested by the Adeptus Sororitas should they require close support in their purgations,

The Avenger Strike Fighter is a finely-detailed multi-part resin kit designed by Daren Parrwood. The kit contains two crew figures and a fully detailed cockpit interior, and the two lascannons supplied with this kit can both be supplemented and replaced with other Forge World Imperial Navy weapons. Full rules for the Avenger can be found in the recently released Imperial Armour Aeronautica, and the kit is available to pre-order here for despatch from Friday 27th July.
