Conquer the Skies in the Age of Darkness with Horus Heresy: Aeronautica Imperialis

Aeronautica Imperialis is the game of aerial combat in which hot-shot pilots fight gravity-defying duels in their fantastic flying machines.

But now we shift gears and return to the Horus Heresy to pull some heavy Gs in the Age of Darkness.

Rulebook

This new rulebook catapults your favourite Loyalist or Traitor Legion into swirling dogfights, bombing runs, and nail-biting air raids. Using the existing ruleset, it layers the Horus Heresy setting over Aeronautica Imperialis, making it the perfect complement to your games of Warhammer: Horus Heresy. 

Spread

You could even run a campaign alongside your tabletop games, and why not get a couple of games of Adeptus Titanicus in to represent the towering Titan Legions above your Astartes, but far below your aircraft.

This book contains rules for all of the planes used by the Legiones Astartes, from the nimble Xiphon Interceptor to the hulking Thunderhawk Gunship. You’ll also find rules for the Divisio Aeronautica, which fields Thunderbolts and Marauders, and even the deadly golden Ares Gunship favoured by the Adeptus Custodes.

There are unique upgrades for all 18 Legions, giving them a diverse feel as they lock horns. Lavish artwork covers the marking and heraldry of these mighty aircraft, including many of each Legions’ most deadly and revered squadrons.

Nosedive into a chunky lore section that covers the fall of the Forge World Vanaheim, and then battle it out over eight different scenarios to earn your wings as the most spectacular fighter ace ever to soar through the skies.
