Valerian Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Damn you and your logic Val!! But I was mostly making the joke in the way that we cant teleport, so why do we get flyers??!! Two feet on the ground, blah-blah-blah and all that jazz... End of Nerd Rage Aha. I wasn't clear on whether your complaint about Teleporting was serious, or a tongue-in-cheek challenge to the infamous "two feet on the ground" quote. I see now that it was the latter.

Rommel44 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Can't the Space Wolves use the Stormwing formation from the data slate? It consists of a Stormraven and 2x Storm Talons, however if I where to run that would I have to run a Stormraven and the 2x Stormtalons or could I pick and chose what I would want to run?

Kasper_Hawser Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yeah, I prefer the Stormwing formation over any poorly designed Wolf flyer GW will come up with. At the very least the Stormwing are decent at everything, from anti-air to anti-ground. Granted cannot embark on it as transport first turn but hey, there's never been anything wrong with those two flyers, both are decent, not under or over powered depending on use. For new codex, I'm more worried about our Grey Hunters. They're great as it is, but just a little change like removal of the CCW and Bolt Pistol, and we're back to Vanila marines. Or changing the Wolf Standard. Or Wulfen. Those are the greatest fears I have now as opposed to getting a useless or underpowered flyer like the Dark Angels.

I can agree with you there mate, however if you take the Stormwing Formation, do you have to use all 3x flyers or can you just derided to run the 2x Storm Talons or just the Stormraven? Since its a formation I assume you have to take all 3x but it is still worth asking about lol.

This or one of the Forge World pretties are your current flyer options, and with no codex in site right now and most rumors now not even talking about it anytime soon, these would be the ones to work around.

Kasper_Hawser Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Stormraven may look like a flying brick and the Stormtalon a little bit less so, but damn they still look sexy and definitely Astartes design.

Inquisitor Kravin Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 No because then they'd have to deal with copyright from that TV show... Are you kidding? They'd take the name and then get their IP lawyers to sue the TV company for stealing their idea and trying to cover their tracks by travelling back in time!! I have to say, the instant I saw the Asgardian flying longships in Thor 2:The Dark World at the cinema I thought, "Feth! Somewhere out there someone from GW has just discovered the design of the flyer for the next SW codex!"

frostclaw222 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Storm Eagles, Fire Raptors, and Thunderhawks are what we got. For now. But I foresee either Storm Raven/Talon access or something new/unique as well. Aside from it's ability to transport a dreadnought, I actually think the Raven rates lower than the Eagle. And I know people have kitbashed and converted them, but the Talon just doesn't ever look right to me. I've got one Storm Eagle and a Fire Raptor already waiting for me once I get back to the States this spring. That plus some air defense missile batteries and some fortifications should answer my air problem. At least until the Mechanicus cargo hauler that's been adrift for all this edition finally arrives with our flakk missiles.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I would love to see a flying option that allows up to transport terminators. That could give us the option of drop podding OR using the Stormraven for its assault capabilities. And in an edition of stupid shooty, we need every bit of help we can get to get in there!! I'd sport an Air Wolf any day. End of Line Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287199-fenrisian-flyers/page/2/#findComment-3608235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanPesci Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Dataslates are small digital releases that usually contain a bit of fluff and a new ruleset. GW started releasing them as extra codex supplementary materials over he last few months. You can find most of the on the black library site here: http://www.blacklibrary.com/games-workshop-digital-editions/Dataslates Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287199-fenrisian-flyers/page/2/#findComment-3618881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
