Faeit 212 is calling it official now, Death From the Skies, a rules "compendium" (read rehash) of current flyers and supposedly gives C:SM and BT access to the Stormraven transport. So, we want the advertised "LR of the skies" available to us? At pretty much the same cost as a LR? Or more depending on the load out. You know, that costs enough points to buy two (2), count them two (2) Valkyries. Anyway, depending on the status of this book as far as "official" (IOW, do they update the FAQs to reflect the changes in the units?), it may or may not matter.
OTOH, a Stormtalon would probably be interesting, the price point is a lot lower with pretty much the same loadout of antiair weaponry, the biggest difference being the ability to swap out the assault cannon on the SR plus the ability to pay for hurricane bolter sponsons. The ST gets stuck with its assault cannon, but can get the same Typhoon ML for its heavy bolters as the SR.
My big question...If we cannot afford LRCs, then can we afford its flying equivalent?
