Brother Glacius Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I'm a bit confused as to the number of flyers you can add to your army. Anyone feel like summing up the options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think it really just depends on which detachment (or combinations you take): -Air Wing Detachment allows for 3 to 5 flyers -6 other detachments allow you to take up to 2 flyers per. Assuming you are playing by the "3 detachment limit" suggested by the rulebook, you could sprinkle up to 6 in if you stick to some of the more traditional detachments, or you could take 3 Air Wing detachments and get up to 15.

InfestedKerrigan Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 You can almost get 15 Heldrakes at 2k. Hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a minimum of 188 points once you pay for the Hades autocannon and the Heldrake claws (you know, because stock equipment costs extra now). Baleflamers cost even more!

I think there will have to be limits on the # of detachments you can take...otherwise things will get quite silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call, forgot to check those costs. Still, that is 10 drakes at 2k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree. I doubt you will see more than 3 detachments allowed in events, outside of wacky / narrative stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 I heard the rule book strongly suggests 3 detachments for matched play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, tho (1001-2000 Points), we're looking at three Detachments, yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just fly them around and play warhammer duck hunt for an hour. Get your own little kid to point and laugh as you fail to kill them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Their chart stops at 3K, but it's pretty easy to extrapolate past that. Basically just add one Detachment to the limit for every 1000 Points you increase the Game size by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
