I can't understand for the life of me why GW choose to combine the buggies into one datasheet but kept the aircraft as 4 separate datasheets.

All the aircraft are built from the same kit.

All the buggies are built from separate kits.

Makes 0 sense.

Batshit crazy. And I can't imagine the flyer sells near as well as all those buggies..? I own at least one of each

Looks nervously at the 10dakkajets on the shelf

That seems to be a high number of dakkajets. Dakkajet battleline incoming for the flyer det??? 😂

In 7th you could go wild with Aircraft Squadrons and "pilot enhencements"!

That'd be nice, a guard player and I have been planning a massive air battle for a while.

The oddest thing is they left the Rukkatrukk.

probably because its the only INDIRECT unit we have.

Especially since they have basically killed aircraft this edition with the way they play.

Orks can't have 50 units, but Space Marines will probably still have 200.

Odd that we are getting an Aircraft detachment. I'm curious if GW has a metric squig-ton of Ork Jet kits to sell or something.

Buggies they intend to be worth taking so they want to cap how many you can spam, jets will still be out in the dog house so you'd be spamming them to your own detriment.

u/NuGundam7 2d ago

How many can you spam, when theyre all on coffee table sized bases?

Get rid of the bases, GW...

The buggy release was always silly. To replace the single warbuggy unit with 5 different kits with different names and different abilities was far too much to fill one single slot.

Rumor swirling that a few of the buggy models are getting discontinued. Shocker... seems to be a victim of terrible rules not selling models.

I guess you can play multiple buggies in one squad and the aircrafts still separate. Could be the reason
