Aeronautica Imperialis: Wrath of Angels $90

The Aeronautica Imperialis: Wrath of Angels boxed set includes everything you need to play exciting games of aerial combat between brutal Adeptus Astartes and sleek Asuryani aircraft.

Aeronautica Imperialis is a game of breakneck aerial combat in the 41st Millennium. Two players command squadrons of aircraft in lethal dogfights high among the clouds, as fighters twist and turn, and bomber waves unleash devastation through storms of flak.

The set includes the following Citadel multipart plastic miniatures, each supplied with an Aeronautica Imperialis base:

– 3x Adeptus Astartes Xiphon Interceptors
– 2x Adeptus Astartes Storm Eagles
– 3x Asuryani Nightwings
– 3x Asuryani Phoenix Bombers

The set also includes a 38-page rulebook featuring the following information:

– The full Aeronautica Imperialis game rules, including how to build your force using Squadron Lists, perform Ace Manoeuvres, field different classes of aircraft, and unleash ground defences. Learn how to manoeuvre your aircraft, adjust their altitude, and change speed while avoiding the risks of stalling and breaking up. There are even rules for special manoeuvres including landing, taxiing, and taking off.
– The Dogfight scenario, as well as optional rules for fighting at night or in bad weather conditions
– Squadron Lists, providing details of all of the aircraft in the box as well as their weapon options and special rules
– A reference page showing the 8 different manoeuvres aircraft can take, as well as a 2-page quick-reference guide containing the key game rules

Adeptus Astartes Xiphon Interceptor Squadron $42

Fast and nimble by the standards of Imperial aircraft, the Xiphon Interceptor has been employed by the Space Marines since the days of the Great Crusade. Capable of combating the myriad threats the Imperium faces, the Xiphon can obliterate both air and ground targets with ease, ensuring the enemies of Mankind can never escape the Emperor’s wrath.

Harder to take down than most fighters, and packing some serious firepower in the form of four lascannons and a missile array, Xiphon Interceptors will scythe through even the staunchest opposition. The frag missiles can be traded out for krak missiles to pound ground targets and with hunter-killer missiles for dogfighting supremacy. A squadron of these aircraft is more than a match for most foes, and this box gives you a whopping six of them with which to bolster your fleet.

The set includes:

– 6 multipart plastic Adeptus Astartes Xiphon Interceptor miniatures
– 6 Aeronautica Imperialis bases (Each base designates the model’s front, rear and side arcs as well as speed and altitude dials. Each base also includes a clear stand to connect the aircraft to the base.)
– 1 Space Marine Squadron transfer sheet

The rules for using these miniatures in games of Aeronautica Imperialis can be found in the Wrath of Angels boxed game. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Adeptus Astartes Storm Eagle Squadron $42

The Storm Eagle is an orbital assault craft employed by the Space Marines, equipped with a formidable weight of firepower. Rugged and durable, it possesses a high degree of operational flexibility that allows it to act in a number of roles if needed, from recon to long-ranged transport or interceptor.

More like a bomber in stature and armament, Storm Eagle Assault Craft will prove themselves essential to every Space Marine flight commander. Armed with a quad lascannon, twin heavy bolter, and dual frag missile pods, the weight of firepower they produce is unmatched in their class. The missiles can be swapped out with ground-pounding dual krak missiles or aerial-assassin hunter-killer missiles, ensuring you’re prepared for the mission parameters.

The set includes:

– 2 multipart plastic Adeptus Astartes Storm Eagle miniatures
– 2 Aeronautica Imperialis bases (each base designates the model’s front, rear and side arcs as well as speed and altitude dials. Each base also includes a clear stand with which to connect the aircraft to the base.)
– 1 Space Marine Squadron transfer sheet

The rules for using these miniatures in games of Aeronautica Imperialis can be found in the Wrath of Angels boxed game. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Asuryani Nightwing Squadron $42

The primary aircraft employed by the enigmatic xenos known as Craftworld Aeldari, Nightwing fighters possesses a level of speed and manoeuvrability that appears preternatural. In battle, squadrons of Nightwings weave around enemy aircraft, tearing their foe apart with bursts of fire from shuriken cannons and bright lances.

The Asuryani air fleet is full of intensely fast, hard-hitting yet fragile aircraft. Nightwings are all of these, with the speed and maneuverability to stay out of the line of fire and set up an ideal tailing position before unleashing devastating firepower. At close range, their shuriken cannon makes quick work of most targets, while additional weapons tailor them to a variety of roles. Twin bright lances extend their effective range, twin scatter lasers add even more short-range shredding punch, twin missile launchers allow them to punish ground assets, and twin starcannons are ideal for picking off targets of opportunity or finishing off damaged aircraft. With six of these sleek fighters in the box, you can prepare for any opponent.

The set includes:

– 6 plastic Asuryani Nightwing miniatures
– 6 twin bright lances, 6 twin scatter lasers, 6 twin missile launchers, and 6 twin starcannons
– 6 Aeronautica Imperialis bases (each of which designates the model’s front, rear and side arcs, speed, and altitude dials, as well as a clear stand to connect the aircraft to the base)
– 1 Asuryani Squadron transfer sheet

The rules for using these miniatures in games of Aeronautica Imperialis can be found in the Wrath of Angels boxed game. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

 

Asuryani Phoenix Bomber Squadron $42

Each Phoenix Bomber is a heavily armed strike craft utilised by the Craftworld Aeldari, carrying a payload tailored towards ground attack missions. Despite these modifications, they remain fast, nimble aircraft. Capable of engaging both air and ground forces, the Phoenix Bomber is an integral tool in the Asuryani air war.

While most bombers are large, tough, and a bit lumbering, the Phoenix Bomber is anything but. With the same structural integrity as a typical fighter, it relies on speed and maneuverability to get out of tight spots, while the customisable payload allows it to excel in a wide variety of missions. The missile array can be exchanged for specialised plasma and krak missiles to target aerial and ground targets, respectively, and they can be fitted with twin bright lances, twin starcannons, or twin pulse lasers on top of their standard shuriken cannon and bomb rack armaments. A savvy Asuryani commander will find a juicy target for them more often than not, making each one count in a protracted firefight.

The set includes:

– 3 multipart plastic Asuryani Phoenix Bombers miniatures
– 3 twin bright lances, 3 twin starcannons, 3 twin pulse lasers, 3 standard missile arrays, and 3 missile arrays to represent either nightfire plasma or nightfire krak missiles.
– 3 Aeronautica Imperialis bases (Each base designates the model’s front, rear and side arcs as well as speed and altitude dials. Each base also includes a clear stand to connect the aircraft to the base.)
– 1 Asuryani Squadron transfer sheet

The rules for using these miniatures in games of Aeronautica Imperialis can be found in the Wrath of Angels boxed game. These miniatures are supplied unpainted and require assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Adeptus Astartes Dice Set $18

When you’re as elite and hardcore as Space Marines, your dice had better be up to snuff. The oily sheen of these dark metallic dice will surely let your opponent know you mean business. The 6 face also features a skull with an iron halo for extra intimidation. We can’t promise they’ll roll any better than other dice, but we can promise they’ll look amazing on your tabletop.

The eight dice in this set each measure 16mm x 16mm and feature a haloed skull on the 6 face. The dice are supplied in a clear plastic dice cube.

Asuryani Dice Set $18

These cream-coloured dice with gold markings are the perfect companion to your stylish Asuryani air fleet. The 6 face features the Aeldari runic symbol for air, so you can cast the dice just as a warlock casts their runes. They MIGHT roll better, but we can’t make any promises in writing.

The eight dice in this set each measure 16mm x 16mm and feature an Aeldari rune on the 6 face. The dice are supplied in a clear plastic dice cube.

Outer Reaches Area of Engagement Board $42

Environments that aren’t well suited for ground wars are often contested by air fleets. Barren or remote outposts and dangerous mining or research facilities offer strategic value, and the most efficient way to secure them (or pound them into dust) is by unleashing squadrons of aircraft.

This Outer Reaches Area of Engagement is a fold-out game board for Aeronautica Imperialis that represents two different locations over which your air fleets can come to grips. Measuring 19 hexes by 18 hexes (or roughly 3’ by 3’), this game board gives you a huge area over which to fight your battles.

The double-sided game board comes in two pieces and features artwork depicting the following aerial war zones:

– Side 1: an Imperial Outpost depicts a remote colony on one of the countless worlds claimed by the Imperium, including the research facilities, settlements, and refuelling stations established on these distant planets.

– Side 2: a Lava World shows that no planet is inhospitable enough for the Imperium. This map depicts an Imperial settlement surrounded by burning lava – and these dangerous lands make air combat a crucial component of fighting for control of these planets.

You’ll need a copy of the Taros Air War or Rynn’s World Campaign book, or Aeronautica Imperialis: Wrath of Angels, Skies of Fire, or Wings of Vengeance boxed games to use this game board.
