MithrilForge Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I’ll certainly get it, and at least one set of necrons… as a rule I don’t buy forgeworld… but it looks like it’s something I really want so…I’ll have to bite the bullet and save the imperial credits, I might make moulds of em (for myself of course) as they’re stupidly expensive and I would like a Necron fleet … but damn I hate their resin with a passion.. :-/ Mithril Edited January 10, 2022 by mithrilforge Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Ciaphas Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Hail! I will also be getting this book. However - it seems that it does not contain the advanced rules and campaign system, that came in the Rynn's World and Taros Air War books? As for the Necrons...they do indeed look great! I am tempted to get two packs, as that would probably cover at least 100 points of flying breakfast planes? @Mithril - I have - over the years - spent quite a bit of time with FW resin; it is not that bad (IMHO). Just clean with warm water and dish washing soap prior to priming them - and prime with a spray, rather than a brush. Any wee bits which are warped, can be fixed with boiling water (mind the finger tips (I speak from experience)).

Firedrake Cordova Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Yup, the Necron flyers do look great. Somewhat disappointed that they're not getting a plastic release (just because plastic is easier to work with - especially if you goof and want to strip paint off it - and results in cheaper models for me ). The expanded damage rules sound interesting ... However - it seems that it does not contain the advanced rules and campaign system, that came in the Rynn's World and Taros Air War books? That would be my interpretation (that GW want you to buy the other books).

schoon Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Very curious what they're going to do with the "Expanded Damage Rules." However, that cover has to be one of the worst mock ups I've seen in recent memory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I'm wondering if they'll have something along the lines of critical hits from BFG (roll a D6 for each point of damage caused and on a 6 it causes additional problems, e.g. -1 ace manoeuvre, can't fire a random weapon, loses some turns' worth of fuel, etc) Edited January 10, 2022 by Firedrake Cordova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Just looked at the pricelist for retailers (click "Order Forms", then "Pricelist UK.xls") and - rather annoyingly - the Companion isn't listed ++EDIT: Apparently this means it's a "direct" product.

MithrilForge Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 If it’s direct …does that mean I have to actually go to a GW store ?!?.. it’s been years!, the guy probably thinks I’m dead :-D … Or can I order it online to go to the shop ?!?..

Firedrake Cordova Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 It's more that the GW shops don't normally stock "direct" items. They can be ordered from GW's web site for home delivery/delivery to a GW shop, or ordered to a shop via the in-store order point. Third party retailers can also order them, but they get a smaller discount, so it's a bit pot-luck as to whether they stock them or not (they normally carry 0-10% discount in the UK, vs 10-20% for regular line items).

Trokair Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) From the NZ preorder page for Companion, bold emphasize mine. - Rules for fielding the full force of the Asuryani in games of Aeronautica Imperialis, including four all-new aircraft profiles: Vampire Raider; Vampire Hunter; Nightshade Interceptor, and Hemlock Wraithfighter. Also this looks prommising (if this was already a thing then I have just missed it before, new to AI). as well as rules for Looted aircraft for the Orks Air Waaagh! and Gue'Vesa Auxiliary aircraft rules for your T'au Air Caste Edited January 14, 2022 by Trokair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedrake Cordova Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) So, to save people looking at GW's site ... Rules for Necrons (3 planes) Rules for the existing Forgeworld aircraft, plus the Eldar Hemlock and Nightshade Full rules for Space Marines, and Eldar White Dwarf content (Tau auxillaries, Ork looted aircraft) Expanded damage rules, new Ace abilities, matched play scenarios, limited ammunition rules Campaign rules Looking at the images on GW's store, "flame" is mentioned (I assume damage-related), and a "duelling aces" scenario Price is £15, so a bit less than the previous hard-back books (no e-book version though). :) Edited January 15, 2022 by Firedrake Cordova MithrilForge, Master Ciaphas and Reyner 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Guerrilla Miniature Games have their review up: I also got my copy at the weekend, so if anyone has any questions ...

Trokair Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I have been told that mine has arrived at my local store, so will pick it up during the week. Nice to see the other Elder fliers, I assume they will get models via FW in the near future.

Master Ciaphas Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hail! I also just checked the tracking link I was sent by GW. Seems that my package arrived last week...they just (again) neglected to tell me. Sigh. Anyhow, that means I will be picking up my Companion later today (along with the Librarian, who will provide mischief in the Blackstone Fortress, as a retinue character), Faithfully, Master Ciaphas MithrilForge and Firedrake Cordova 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
