One of the most consistent rumors for 6th Edition is increased emphasis on "fliers". This seems to be supported by models like the Storm Raven, Valkyrie, and Razorwing. There have been even more fliers included in the most recent codexes, but most of them are missing models. Rumors have suggested this is because of a planned large release of fliers from several armies this autumn. Here is what Stickmonkey on Warseer has to say on the matter: To feed some actual rumors in here.
Wave 1 in june is as bow has revealed. But i am expecting the de bomber before end of summer along with a tau and chaos sm flyer. The csm flyer is likely w the codex so the other two may have "something" with them.
The tau flyer as ive heard from 3 sources is named after a snake, not a fish. Has a networked marker light like item/weapon that can stack. 4 missiles. Options for rail guns or some gattling cannons. No transport.
Orks still have another flyer that is ready for release. And its in the codex.
Eldar get nothing until their codex. As others have stated.
Tyranids harpy has been done fore some time, but its looking like itll be held onto for a while longer. Rumor is another nid wave release with the spore later... And from BramGaunt on DakkDakka: The orks are a pretty easy guess, Killakopta, since they'll be out of miniatures in... what, 4 months?
Nids will probably be the very last wave release, since they still lack several units.
Tau Aircraft puzzles me, but maybe it's to patch up time for them until the release of their own codex.
Sad for Eldar Players... but they have plenty Antigravs, and maybe Falcons will get an option to be used like a fighter? There have also been rumblings of the Tyranid Harpy and IG Hydra Flak Tank. The most "solid" evidence so far has been 3 sketches from Beasts of War, said to be traced from the actual artwork or box covers of the models. Necron Night Scythe/Doom Scythe:  Ork Blita Bomma:  SM Storm Talon  |

Wazzdakka: Rocks are still not in the codex or forge world... I dont know why agreed to that, they are not even Kontraptions... Now I have to touch up some paint jobs too.... I'll still count the win for you, since I agreed... JK Everyone: As for a tau snake named vehicle.... All of the Tau flying dynamos are fish and swiming mammal(the Orca)... My bet will be a variation on this name: Natrix Maura... It is some kind of european water viper. I would say Moccasin as it is also a dangerous watersnake... but US origin makes me scepticle... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natrix_mauraAs for For Eldar having no fliers... Is that because the older rumors will be true that all of their grav tanks will be fliers? It would be another way to justify their point costs... and probably would not change game play that much. I mean remember when they could move and shoot at any place in their movement... That was ridiculous... But if fliers have some kind of special rules which puts them one leg up on regular hovering vehicles... maybe fliers will be a compromise between dexes? Lastly, when did space marines get an Apache... Just saying... That Stormtalon is like a Harrier and an Appache had a baby together... Yah and it looks awesome... Ork bombers have been available on forgeworld... so this is a natural transition for a popular model... Yay plastic... To me its like GW was like,"Ok so there are thousands of ork hordes out their due to black reach... now lets make a model that is a "must have"= Profit." I hope it is! I just dont know how I feel about flying boyz... I mean Deff Koptas are crazy enough... I want those little bomb planes with the Grots flying them dammit! Servo: Thanks for the news... Its seems interesting and exciting! |

Wazzdakka: I was referring to the game we played two weeks ago where you konvinced me that the bucket of rocks you have was a new forge-world release for fliers... Like I said, I was just being a fair sport... and it seemed like half the points for your army list seemed reasonable...
But when you started knocking troops off of the table... they were way more effective than I had originally reasoned... or maybe it was just your aim...
Oh, yah all the rest of you might be upset I flew into Chicago just to throw down with Wazzdakka... But we had planned so long, I had the frequent flier miles, it just worked out... Nothing personal.
After the battle, and return to San Jose, I looked through the Imperial Amour books but I could not find the Apocalypse Data Sheet for it...
Maybe I missed it...
Don't your remember?

Heheeheeee....
But on a serious note, if the new fliers look half as good as the sketches, I am excited to see the results!!
