Games Workshop had lots to say about their new “Summer of flyers” Come see the latest on new products and rules!
Pilots to your fighters! GW dropped this little notice on the new flyer models:
We’ve seen reports online of some keen-eyed plane spotters reporting the approach of a new game.
Well, we don’t want you guys to have to go scouting for rumours, so we got clearance from ground control to fill you in on Stormcloud Attack.
Stormcloud Attack is a brand new game of Flyer combat in the 41st Millennium. There will be not one, not two, but three(!) new sets on the way this Saturday, all of which include a rulebook and two opposing aircraft.
But you don’t need to wait until the weekend to prepare your aerial armada: rules for every Flyer currently available as a Citadel miniature will also be released alongside the new game.
Maybe it’s time to paint that new Flyer you were thinking about?

*Turns out a ‘chock’ is a bit of wood used to prop up a wheel and stop a plane rolling away. We think it’s probably quite unlikely that most races of the 41st Millennium use these. Please disregard this remark.
So what do you think this will mean:
rules for every Flyer currently available as a Citadel miniature will also be released alongside the new game.
are they planning to release datasheets for the flyers in the box sets so folks have the rules for the models they just bought, sorta like they did with the Deathwatch, and Knight Renegade games?
Maybe they will be new rules based on the game itself? It’s hard to say with this context, but either way what may be the last of the 40k releases for awhile are about to hit next weekend.
Plus this new flyer book from Games Workshop was just spotted as well.
