redhorse Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Hi all, I'm just posting a little question that has been perplexing. In the first big battle scene featuring the blood angels against evil sunz orks, I spotted something out of place. There appears to be a small flyer, it looks like a fighter jet. It can be found, to the right of Nob raising his axe on the hill and in front of the lowest fling thunder hawk. See it??? What is that!! It doesn't look orky to me, and kind of has an interesting beak shape to its nose. BTW I'm not sure if this should stay in the blood angles section or not, I figured it could since it's in our art work. But any way, I'd love for a general discussion to begin about Space Marine jet fighters if there are any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Page reference? Or do you mean the artwork piece used with the "Introduction"? (In which case those are Goffs...) That particular piece has aircraft in the style of Imperial Navy cruiser/frigate space craft zooming around the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhorse Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Page number, well it is the very first double page piece of artwork. It's not assigned a page number. Do you think that one tiny fighter is Orkish? I was thinking it was imperial, but then it looks like its painted red. What's a Goff, I thought that was an ork clan?

John Rainbow Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I think it's just an Ork Fighta-Bommer or some other variant. I only see Thunderhawks, Storm Ravens and Ork jets. As for the Goffs, they are an Ork clan. I think the ones in the image are Bad Moons though. Link to Goff background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicJ Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Cant find it, you'll have to tell us what page its near at least. The only ork artwork I can find is fighting guard, and there are Valks in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Official page numbers would be (ii) and (iii). And they are Bad Moon orks and it is an Ork Dakka jet of some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhorse Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well that sucks I thought I was onto something, though it has inspired me to make fighter and use it as for my blood angels. What air craft do we access to other than the SR, Storm Eagle and Casteuss Assault Ram? Or did I just spell it all out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 In context I'd have to say they are dakka jets, but they do look quite a bit like the MkII Thunderbolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhorse Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 I see the Dakka jets quite plainly, but there is that one jet, that is not flying with the ork fighters. It's flying directly in front of the lowest thunderhawk towards us the reader. Any way, I don't know I could be completely off, but speculation is fun. It has inspired me to go pick up a couple of MK II Vipers from Battlestar and make them into Blood Angel Fighters of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
