Announcement via WarCom
The skies of Aeronautica Imperialis are busier than ever, following the release of Wrath of Angels, which introduced the Adeptus Astartes and Asuryani into the game for the first time. Now, an ancient race awakens to claim the area of engagement for themselves.Yes, the Necrons are coming to Aeronautica ImperialisJust like its Warhammer 40,000 counterpart, it’s armed with a pair of tesla destructors and can be used to transport troops deep behind enemy lines.*
If you’d rather do away with that transport capacity,** you can alternatively add a heavy death ray and upgrade your ship into a Doom Scythe.
Both aircraft are as fast and manoeuvrable as an Asuryani Nightwing – one of the benefits of a robot pilot is that they can’t pass out due to the G-forces you’re pulling.It’s not just fighters that the Necrons are bringing to the party though, they’re also sending in the Night Shroud bomber. It’s faster than a Phoenix Bomber, and while it’s not quite as manoeuvrable, it does allow you to drop death spheres on your enemy’s emplacements.***
We’ll have more news on the Necron aircraft as we get closer to their release
