Aeronautica: Ork Eavy Bommer & Grot Bommer are Coming!
The next pair of aircraft flying into Aeronautica Imperialis are big, mean and Orky. come take a look.
The Rynn’s World Air War books is your shortcut into the world of Aeronautica. This 88 page campaign book gives players the full rules of the game, as well as a full campaign set on Rynn’s World and an order of battle for both the Imperial Navy and Ork Air Waaagh! It covers all the launch models with one additional pair of airframes – sure to be headed our way shortly.
The Old Ork heavy bommers from the first edition of Aeronautica are in there:
Meet the Ork Eavy Bommer and the Grot Bommer. The first is looded down with munitions, while the second can load up with crazed Grot Rockets looking to go out in a blaze of glory. Sure the little guys might have parachutes, but then again, maybe the Orks just gave them backpacks loaded with junk, and a firm thumbs up.
Here’s one of the two to give you an idea of what’s on the way:
She’s a tough stubborn sky pig. Tougher, slower and harder to handle than a Marauder, the Eavy Bommer does have some Orky charm. She’s got a LOT of big shoota dice in every direction, leaving no blind spots and no obvious way to safely approach for an interceptor. If you get close enough to shoot at her, expect a wall of dakka to be headed back your way. With a max altitude of 4, she’s got less options than the Marauder, but the Orks bommer command probably just flies these birds up close, low and slow, and straight for their targets. It’s going to take some time to down even one of these, and several in a close formation is a nasty proposition for any fighter to face.
Models?
We have no images of the new models or sprues, but here’s some artwork and pics of the original ones from a decade back. Based on the detail and modular construction options of the new Ork plastic planes – this should be an impressive kit loaded down with many many teensy little bits and ways to assemble your Eavy Bommers.
~ MORE DAKKA!
