So, I was reading the campaign rules on the new units the other day, and started thinking:

"Hey, what if Chaos forces could load a Hell Maw missile onto an aircraft? That would be a pretty sweet anti-bomber weapon!"

Perhaps an option on a Hell Talon could be to add a single Hell Maw as its additional weaponry choice? Or, perhaps there could be a special Chaos Aircraft for carrying it?

What do you guys think.

are you reading the emails ive been writting to world bleeder? lol we were discussing this topic and it looked like a viable option. Our discussion focused on the Harbinger and not the smaller aircraft. We looked over the Harbinger and cant really find much we can do to upgun it so we though about converting its huge bomb bay into a missle bay. At this time we had it firing only in the forward arc as the missles are literally dropped and must ignite thier engine after clear of the bomb bay.
Obviously this limits the defence options of this weapons option and limits it to a closing weapon since the harbinger isnt known for its turning ability.
As to adding a large missle payload onto the Helltalon? why not, it its got a bomb bay its got room for missles. If its a bomb bay dropped missle, keep its fire arc forward only.

Were you thinking of sigle missle shots or volly? or just for that chaos goodness, a variable str missle strike, ex.1d6 missles for Harbinger, 1d3 for Helltalon.

Our other though was a take on the Grot bomb by da orks, Adepts of the Dark priesthood on Xana have been known to fuse man, matchine and demon into terrible war engines. we though about a demon missle that uses all the rules of the Grot bomb but has a much greater range ( it can stay on the table till it gets its chance to kill)

Well thats about it for chaos anti bomber weapons, most of the rest of our talks were just shuffling weapons around on thier current warplanes.

Yeah, I've thought about some alternate weapon load outs for Hell Blades too, but not necesarily as anti-super heavy weapon platforms.

Mostly just to give them more variants, maybe not even better variants. ohmy.gif
