It's cool but not hatefully broken; it is really pricey points wise though. 423 base with the option to soar to an impressive 561. It's relatively tough with T8 and 16 wounds and a 5++, but no tougher than any other hideously overpriced FW flyer I've seen thus far.

Not just that, if you pre-order you'll receive not one, but TWO infantry sized models for which there are no rules! With a bonus like that, why not order three?!?!

[Jack Shrapnel]

Lukas is probably ordering the air caste collection as we speak... who could resist THAT deal? you save a whole ZERO dollars!!!!

[voodoo]

I mean, it's only $678.19 CAD for 3 models... and free air crew, lol.

I wonder sometimes if Forgeworld doesn't make their models from ground up diamonds and coke.

Ahh, that's the difference. This is the release of the Tigershark Fighter Bomber. I was sure the Tigershark had already been released, but it was the anti-titan AX-1-0.

It definitely looks better than the outgoing model, but not enough to make me rush out and buy one.

UNTIL I SAW THOSE SWEET, SWEET STRINGY BOIS. lol, what a great pre-order bonus 
I actually already have three of them that I was going to use for a display base or something.

And this is the REAL divorce paper generator

[Admiral Agrippa]

Do they no longer sell the Orca?

Never mind - I see they sell a Manta now.

Jiminy Cricket, that's a divorce right there!

[ohgodsnakes]

And nope, they don't sell Orcas anymore, which is too bad.

I believe the Manta is over twice the cost of the old Orca. I know they're made to order.

Updated rules for the Fighter bomber. Just allows it to take Cyclic Ion Blasters.
