Hard points for 6 underwing missiles with heavy Bolter turrets on the ends of the wings.
Two Fire-raptor based ball turrets on each side.
And it’s even got a defensive Heavy Bolter turret on the back for good measure.

Forge World made up a whole new display table for the event to showcase the new ‘bird. No word on pricing, but it’s rules can be found in HH Book 5: Tempest I believe!

There’s a huge showcase of the table and the new flyer below on the roundup. Be sure to check it out!
