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.

You can almost get 15 Heldrakes at 2k.

 

 

Hmmmm

How are you managing that? 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.

Good call, forgot to check those costs. Still, that is 10 drakes at 2k.

Absolutely agree. I doubt you will see more than 3 detachments allowed in events, outside of wacky / narrative stuff.

I heard the rule book strongly suggests 3 detachments for matched play 

They actually suggest different Detachment limits for different Points levels, which is cool. For the most part, tho (1001-2000 Points), we're looking at three Detachments, yeah.

I have a six month old my imagination is a bit run down for 40k...

i was being cheeky but that really is their recommendation: they don't have any recommendations past 3k (up to 4 detachments per army).

 Cool thanks! I was being a bit cheeky as well.

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.
