Aeronautica Imperialis

Expand your horizons with this 96-page hardback campaign book on Aeronautica Imperialis.

This box allows you to build Valkyrie Assault Carriers armed with a lascannon or multi-laser, and Vendetta Assault Carriers armed with twin lascannons. Both of them can be loaded up with additional lascannons and rocket pods. The ability to hover, plus transport troops, makes them perfectly suited for scenarios in which you pick up or drop off soldiers, as well as engaging ground targets with strafing runs.

Imperial Navy players are spoiled for choice when it comes to small, vicious dogfighters. Add Avenger Strike Fighters to the mix for some massive firepower, protected by a tail gunner – rare on such a small craft. Their mix of weapons allows you to make them a dedicated ground-attack craft, or a slugger to tail and take out slow-moving bombers. If you want to mix up the look of your squadron, these utilitarian craft look like nothing else in your forces, with their down-swept wings, exposed engines and wide tails.

If you need to obliterate ground targets in your games of Aeronautica Imperialis, look no further than the pride of the Imperial Navy's air-to-ground attack craft – the formidable Marauder Bombers.

If aerial domination is your goal, then the Imperial Navy’s Thunderbolt Fighters are the answer. These versatile craft are equipped with twin lascannons for one-shot kills, as well as quad autocannons – or in the case of the Fury-pattern Thunderbolt Fighters, avenger bolt cannons – for shredding enemy flyers with gunfire.

Unleash the fury of the Imperial Navy’s Marauder Destroyers with this set, which includes two of their number armed with a fearsome array of turrets for aerial defence.

When rapid interceptors are scrambled to support bomber squadrons or counter air raids, the fast and agile Lightning and Lightning Strike Fighters are first to the fight. Armed with powerful lascannons or multi-lasers, they excel at sending enemy aircraft spiraling to their dooms far below the area of engagement.

Build six Barracudas with this box, armed with Swiftstrike railguns, burst cannons, ion cannons and missile pods. Add drones for all-around protection and extra firepower, plus Seeker missiles to pack an even harder punch. No matter how you kit them out, their impressive agility will help you achieve target locks while keeping them out of the line of the heaviest fire.

This box lets you build two Tiger Shark Fighter-Bombers. The standard AX-1-0-2 is armed with not one, but two Swiftstrike railguns, while the AX-1-0-3 variant trades them out for two Swiftstrike burst cannons and the AX-1-0-4 with paired ion cannons. All of them are armed with missile pods built into their wings, and they include drone ports to add close or mid-range support with cyclic ion blasters and long-barreled burst cannons. Add a Seeker missile bay to take out crucial targets.

This box lets you build two deadly Tiger Shark AX-1-0 bombers. The primary armament of the AX-1-0 is a pair of heavy rail cannons, which can be traded out for heavy plasma accelerators. The AX-1-0 eschews transport capacity to mount these heavy weapons, prioritising combat effectiveness over versatility. Both variants are armed with missile pods built into their wings, and they include drone ports to add close- or mid-range support with cyclic ion blasters and long-barreled burst cannons.

Eavy Bommers are one of the largest planes used in an Ork Air Waaagh! They are built with sustained bombardment in mind, and are recognisable by their distinctive engine sound – deeper in pitch and audible over the drone of all smaller Ork aircraft. It's not just the rumble of an engine, it's the sound of doom.

If you're looking to overwhelm your opponent with wave after wave of Orks, just like how they fight on the ground, Dakkajets are the answer! Dakkajets are armed with quad big shootas and is perfect for hunting down enemy aircraft with massed firepower.

Laden with heavy armour and an even heavier payload of guns, rokkits and bombs, the Fighta Bommer is built with a single principle in mind – might makes right!

Grot Bommers open new tactical options for Ork Air Waaagh! players, and their autonomous bombs are unique in the Ork fleet. While wonderfully wacky, they're also incredibly potent weapons that your opponents will quickly come to fear. Complementing Eavy Bommers and the rest of your fleet, you’ll find them useful in all sorts of missions, bristling with dakka even after they've delivered their deadly payload.
