This Week- Wrath of Angels


Wrath of Angels is a new starter set coming this week for the Aeronautica Imperialis along with new dice, assets, and cards. 




Aeronautica Imperialis: Wrath of Angels
This is the new Starter Set for the Aeronautica Imperialis system, containing everything you need to get those chocks away, including five Adeptus Astartes aircraft and six for the Aeldari, a 38-page rulebook, a scenario booklet, a double-sided area of engagement game mat, eight dice, 70 assorted tokens, and a transfer sheet.

There are 11 new miniatures in the box – that’s three Asuryani Nightwings and three Phoenix Bombers, as well as three Space Marine Xiphon Interceptors and two Storm Eagles. It’s a perfect way to get started with Aeronautica Imperialis – or to send your existing collections supersonic. We like it so much we unboxed it earlier in the week – you can see more of what you get right here.










StormEagles Aeronautica Imperialis Asuryani and Adeptus Astartes Aircraft Cards
You can’t be expected to prosecute an air war without weapons, upgrades, or Ace pilots. Fortunately you’re covered with these two sets of faction cards. With 91 cards in the Asuryani set and 86 in the Adeptus Astartes set, these are all the quick references and special rules you need for the ultimate 41st Millennium aerial dust-up. There are two Aces (star pilots with special rules) in each set – including this jolly-looking Salamander fellow who can try and repair his own plane as he’s flying it – as well as named planes, and ground defences to boot.







Aeronautica Imperialis Asuryani and Adeptus Astartes Dice Sets 
As Warhammer Community recently proved with the inexorable force of raw science, faction dice improve your rolls.* Can you really bear to be seen at an Aeronautica Imperialis event without a suitable set of dice? We think not, so the kind adepts at the Warhammer factory have put together two sensational sets of faction dice, one each for the Astartes and Craftworld Aeldari in dark metallic two-tone and gold-effect wraithbone respectively.





 

Aeronautica Imperialis: Outer Reaches Area of Engagement
While there’s already a fantastic double-sided playing mat in the Wrath of Angels box, variety is the spice of life and you can never have too many areas of engagement. This double-sided gaming board continues the theme in the main set, with a lunar imperial outpost on one side and more volcanic terrain on the other. It comes in two halves for enhanced durability, with 342 playable hexes over the total area.





Aeronautica Imperialis: Imperial Navy & Ork Air Waaagh! Ground Assets
The original ground assets from the first version of Aeronautica Imperialis return. Featuring 16 ground assets and 14 plastic markers, including flak and missile batteries, bunkers, and landing zones, this set can really juice up your games – and give enemy pilots an extra headache from another angle.
