The_Chaplain Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/09/15/flight-plan-mega-air-waaagh/ Behold, the Mega Bommer I can only imagine what the price tag on this forgeworld piece is going to be, but maybe we'll see a similar release for a Tau Manta at some point?

Mandragola Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yeah this is insane, and also kind of encouraging. If FW can make resin kits for AI, and design them from scratch not based on existing designs, then the game can expand a lot. I also like that they're giving it a taller base. My first thought when I saw it was that you wouldn't be able to fit any other planes nearby. The single, 10 firepower bomb is quite interesting. Is there anything in AI that would warrant dropping that on? Maybe that's not a very orky question...

Beaky Brigade Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Wow this looks really cool. The only flaw with this one is it seems you could kit bash it from 2 Eavy Bombers and it may be cheaper than resin while remaining lore friendly and authentically Orky, so I'm not sure if this will take off from the shelves.

klisof Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm happy to see them going back to flesh out the Orks a bit more, the imperials have had a lot of new options lately. The rules look interesting as well, matching this up with a bunch of dakka jets to run cover for a bombing mission should be an entertaining game Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366510-something-big-is-coming/#findComment-5602287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Ah yes, because orks needed an even bigger bomber. Wow this looks really cool.

MithrilForge Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yes, I don’t have any love of FW anymore, I can’t afford their prices and I don’t like to put in the extra modelling effort on their “premier” product i.e. average moulds warped or cracked bits, and the shipping costs. I will definitely buy the Eavy Bommer’s box for $90.00 Aus and kitbash a mega bommer from them, rather than fork out the excruciating high price tag FW is going to ask... I admit yes it’s an awesomely cool looking model and I’m happy for others getting this and the fact they may offer other AI products down the line....

gilt_imp Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Mother of Gork that’s big! If it helps anyone, I did a size comparison by scale matching the base size. If the Mega Bommer preview pic is accurate at all, the base angle matches previous previews perfectly, like the Grot Bommers and Eavy Bommers. So, here’s the Mega Bommer vs the Grot Bommer as they appear and then also flipped so they’re facing the same way (wing span comparison too). I chose the Grot Bommer for comparison as its the same frame as the Eavy Bommer but also shows those cute little Grot Bomms Brother Casman, klisof, Firedrake Cordova and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366510-something-big-is-coming/#findComment-5602608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Thanks for the comparison work...It’s huge, but did you remember they said it’s on a higher stand compared to the other planes?!? Will that change the angle .. does that make it smaller?... or goodness me ...bigger !?!..

Brother Casman Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'm not convinced that the mega-bommer pic actually has the taller flying stand - the base looks identical to the one on the Grot Bommer. I think they've done a bit of photoshopping of the mega-bommer over a "stock" base image.

klisof Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 That sounds likely, the painting team usually seem to get a 3D printed version to paint before the models for sale are cast. Depending on the timeline the photo may have been taken before the longer stands were available.

gilt_imp Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Time sure does fly hey. Then again one month from preview to release is pretty good really. The new preview pic on Warcom doesn't seem to be as photoshopped as the original preview pic. Hopefully when this goes up for pre-order on Friday they include a pic with another Ork flyer for scale comparison.
