Description
Background
The Thunderbolt is the mainstay of the Imperial Navy’s fighter squadrons. Well armoured, fast and nimble, the Thunderbolt makes an excellent all rounder aircraft. Carrying Twin lascannons and quad autocannons in the nose, the Thunderbolt can dispatch even heavily armoured bombers and threaten ground forces in deadly strafing runs.
The Thunderbolt Fury instead swaps the quad autocannons for a pair of Avenger bolt cannons. Boasting an incredible rate of fire, the lack of power each individual shell carries is soon outweighed by sheer weight of fire.
Both Thunderbolt variants are capable of mounting a choice of missiles or bombs in order to optimise their combat role for any particular mission.
Contents
– 4x multipart plastic Imperial Navy Thunderbolt Fighter miniatures (Any of these miniatures can instead be assembled as Thunderbolt Fury Fighters equipped with avenger bolt cannons instead of quad autocannons. The kit also includes a selection of hellstrike missiles, skystrike missiles and wing bombs to upgrade your miniatures with.)
– 4x Aeronautica Imperialis bases (each base designates the model’s front, rear and side arcs as well as speed and altitude dials. Each base also includes a clear stand to connect the aircraft to the base.)
– 1x Thunderbolt transfer sheet
You will need a copy of the Aeronautica lmperialis: Wings of Vengeance boxed game or the Rynn’s World Air War Campaign Book to use these miniatures.
