So from this it looks like those all those “squishy” Armor 10 flyers are about to get an upgrade, and GW warns to take lots of Skyfire to deal with them.
Plus it looks like some types of flyers will no longer have the skyfire rule either, making them vunerable to these fighters!
So what will be in the book, well lets count them up:
Marines: 3 now, SW 2, DA 2, IG 2, Eldar 2, DE 2, Necrons 2, Tau 2, Chaos 1, and Orks 4 which equals 22 total. They stated in the book there is 23 new datasheets, so either we counted wrong OR it’s possible that some of those flyers that are basically variants of each other are not counted as individual models.
Also note that even though this dope piece of art was the inset cover of the last book, the Heldrake did NOT appear in it!
Either way it ooks like BIG changes are coming to 40k, as even flyers themselves are getting quite a few updates in the new Death From The Skies supplement.
