Man, these models look cool. Check out the new Asuryani Air options coming to Aeronautica Imperialis from Forge World.

The Aeldari always have really cool models and that’s especially true when it comes to the fighters in the skies. The Asuryani Air fleet is a striking looking batch of models. While they have been available from Forge World in 40k scale for a long time, they are just now getting versions for Aeronautica. For fans and collectors out there, these are striking models to add to your tabletop.

“Starting today, you can pre-order two new types of aircraft to add to your Asuryani air fleet in Aeronautica Imperialis. These are in addition to the sleek, lethal Nightwings and Phoenix Bombers from the Wrath of Angels box, giving you even more ways to smack the lesser races out of the skies. “

Vampire Raider $50

 

The largest Asuryani atmospheric aircraft yet encountered by the Imperium, the Vampire Raider is a drop ship capable of enduring the hard vacuum of space. Primarily deployed from much larger spacecraft in orbit, the Raider acts as a transport to deliver assault troops to the surface, allowing its deadly cargo to strike rapidly at their targets before disappearing once more. It is well-suited to this role, being far faster and more agile than its size would suggest. Its main armaments – a nose-mounted scatter laser and a pair of under-wing pulse lasers or shuriken cannons – are designed to protect the Raider and its embarked troops from hostile aircraft as it nears landing zones, but it is not uncommon to see Raiders armed for more outright offensive roles, sacrificing transport capacity in exchange for devastating Phoenix missile launchers.

Vampire Hunter $50

The Vampire Hunter is a common variant of the Vampire Raider, converted to fulfil the role of heavy ground attack bomber in Asuryani air fleets. The Hunter entirely sacrifices the transport capacity of the Raider in order to house the ammunition racks that feed its devastating Phoenix missile launchers, as well as the massive energy storage units that power its devastating brace of twin-linked pulsars. These advanced armaments are enough to take down the heaviest of enemies, from armoured bunkers to Titans. Consequently, Hunters are usually deployed to fly specific hit-and-run missions targeting the most vital enemy infrastructure and materiel.

Rule the skies with the most deadly of the Asuryani aircraft. This resin kit comes with everything you need to build a Vampire Hunter for use in games of Aeronautica Imperialis as a Bomber class aircraft. This aerodynamic and highly manoeuvrable flyer is armed to the teeth with some of the heaviest firepower available to the Aeldari.

This 9-part resin kit builds one Asuryani Vampire Hunter equipped with twin-linked pulsars, phoenix missile launchers, and a nose-mounted scatter laser.
