There is something very exciting inside the new Stormcloud attack box sets that you really have to see to appreciate. Checkout how GW is upping their game when it comes to expansions!

We’ve seen mini-games before from Games Workshop, but never anything like this. Each of the THREE new Stormbcloud attack box sets has  their very own version of the 88 page rulebook for playing the new game. 88 pages… that’s like a mini supplement in each box folks, plus it’s chockful of what looks to be full CGI art taken from the model designs themselves and re-rendered for this supplement!

It also includes datasheets for each flyer that these factions can take, even if it doesn’t come in the box (Sorry no FW versions, except the Vendetta on the APP!)

The game itself looks fairly involved with similar but yet different rules as the Death from the skies dog-fighting section. Think of this like a cross between 40k, DFTS, the old Forge World Aeronautical Imperialis game, oh with a splash of X-Wing Miniatures thrown in there as well.

Either way it’s a solid buy if not for the savings on the kits (on average $20), but also for this amazing supplement inside each one as well.

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
