The  game just has that weird feel of 80s-commercial hyperbole to it...

It makes me think...

Anybody dug deeper into this "new" aircraft combat game GW is doing now with their flyers?

There's some stuff on Table Top Gaming and some pre-orders up on GW

You get for two flyers and a rulebook. Prices range from £60 to £75 depending on which set you go for. There's also a £20 fluff book

It brings back to mind the old game they did with Ork bombers trying to blow something up - what was it's name

I thought it was going to be a GW version of Wings of War/X-Wing but the stats and what rules there are look anything but.

I assumed the flyers game is little more than what the Knights game was, a chance to buy two models for a cheaper price with a game tacked on.

I really did like that game, had fun playing it with my son who was about six at the time.

I was looking for an Alarielle model to lead my DR elves.

I might keep looking.

Why is she riding a Tyranid?

[Vermis]

Because Age of Sigmar.

I'm torn. I kinda like the big beetle because it's a big beetle (it's novel, at least); but in the context of Warhammer, it's like one more step towards the game's transformation into pokémon. The Alarielle mini itself, with the tree-wings, is a nope. Both figures together, connected by bits of twig, is another instance of 'cheap' AoS relying on huge expensive models, and too over the top for me.

Looks to me like its a 2 sprue set, the beetle looks like its all on one sprue with the other one being the Alarielle and a lot of decorative bits. Pity that the beetle sprue probably is the one everybody is going to want.

[FramFramson]

What a noisy mess, wow.

What a noisy mess, wow.

It is indeed a mess that is overheated.

Alarielle isn't the worst, the beetle is weird, and the wooden wings look like something that Wile E Coyote would manufacture from an Acme kit.

Sir, I take offence. Mr. W.E.Coyote does better than wooden wings with leaves for feathers. That was my favourite cartoon show, that was.
