You’ll be able to take to the skies soon as a new Aeronautica Imperialis Horus Heresy rulebook is dropping soon- check it out!
Now you can take your loyalist and traitor fights to the skies as the new book will have all the rules you need to play out battles. This could be pretty cool to add to your campaigns and drastically change the outcomes.
Warhammer Community unveiled the new book and one important piece of info; this uses the current ruleset and moves it to HH. Let’s check out the details.
New Aeronautica Imperialis Horus Heresy Rulebook Coming Soon
This new rulebook catapults your favourite Loyalist or Traitor Legion into swirling dogfights, bombing runs, and nail-biting air raids. Using the existing ruleset, it layers the Horus Heresy setting over Aeronautica Imperialis, making it the perfect complement to your games of Warhammer: Horus Heresy.
If you already play AI and HH, this is pretty cool; however, if you don’t already play AI, we’re not sure how many new people this will get into the game.
You could even run a campaign alongside your tabletop games, and why not get a couple of games of Adeptus Titanicus in to represent the towering Titan Legions above your Astartes, but far below your aircraft.
This book contains rules for all of the planes used by the Legiones Astartes, from the nimble Xiphon Interceptor to the hulking Thunderhawk Gunship. You’ll also find rules for the Divisio Aeronautica, which fields Thunderbolts and Marauders, and even the deadly golden Ares Gunship favoured by the Adeptus Custodes.
As we said above, it would be cool to do a giant campaign with multiple games added in and really feel like a full campaign.
There are unique upgrades for all 18 Legions, giving them a diverse feel as they lock horns. Lavish artwork covers the marking and heraldry of these mighty aircraft, including many of each Legions’ most deadly and revered squadrons.
They didn’t give a release date, but we expect it to hit shelves quite soon!
Will you be picking this up? Would this be enough to get you to play AI?
