Sume Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hey guys. I got my first one in and it was a lot of prep work before I could even get it primed. I was curious what sort of load outs you guys use on them. Do you tend to run them stock or give them some of the extra weapon options? I really cant wait to start using it. Thanks.

Warsmith Aznable Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I go stock and it's never disappointed me. I haven't tried the options, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I always thought auto cannon would be good to add. Don't have one yet though so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Problem is with weapons is it has 3 weapons on the front already if you ignore the heavy stubber, when you buy another weapon they come in pairs adn where as I did buy the autocannons for it you can not fire 5 weapons.

Spacefrisian Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I just gave mine 4 missiles when i tried it out (proxy powerz), this way i could fire its 3 standard guns and fire 1 missile each time. Although you be firing each weapon type 1 at a time so you might not even need to worry about firing all weapons each turn (if you stick to vehicles).

Jacinda Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I run them stock. They weapon upgrades cost way too many points for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTalos Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I also run Stock due to having 3 weapons and everything comes in 2s, so you end up snap firing something.

Although you be firing each weapon type 1 at a time so you might not even need to worry about firing all weapons each turn (if you stick to vehicles). Which missiles? You know they are Ordnance? So ALL of your weapons would snap fire upon using just 1 missile? =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sume Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Thanks guys. I thought the upgrades seemed to be pricey. So I was thinking stock seemed right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(dont think i ever used the ordnance one, cause we tend to have lots of cover on the board here.) I have the Hellfury Missile as Ordnance. The Hellstrike is Heavy 1 (and Ignore cover, S4 Ap5 Large Blast), so you could have that, but as you say, not particularly useful. The Avenger Strike Fighter would really benefit from 4 Hellfury Missiles, definitely ! But as Ordnance, each time you want to fire one of those, everything else Snap Fires, and that's annoying lol (HellFury is the S8 Ap3 Ordnance 1) [Edit]:Page 20 is you have Imperial Aeronautica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I got the missiles...before AP3 became a liability. nevertheless, it has been a lot of killy. I agree that it's not points-efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coabeous Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Anyone know where to get the assembly instructions? I was given one in pieces without the instructions, by a acquaintance that I'm not real close to. Coabeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hmmm....lemme look around for my paper, but it really should be something you can figure out by trial and error...just look at photos and hold pieces up to one another till they make sense...just like doing a puzzle. The only hard part might be the inside of the cockpit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSteele Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hi, I went with the Auto Cannons as I wanted something that gave me more firepower when shooting at armour 12+ vehicles than a stock Avenger. All my opponents are impressed (and scared) by the sheer amount of firepower it puts out. It appeals to the Ork players as they like anything that has a lot of dakka It is a fun plane, but arguable if its great value for points. I use it all the time. Pictures of it on this site. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.684482164927108.1073741842.354911401217521&type=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommel44 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Last time I checked, my twin brother said you use the latest, updated version of the Imperial Armor for your Forgeworld units, as well as there updated war gear and rules. Does anyone have the most recent Imperial Armor to confirm this? And are we positive that we can only take the Avenger Strike Fighter. Honestly think that the Thunderbolt would be the best fit as it gives us some much needed Anti-Tank and long-range firepower with its 2x Twin-Linked Autocannons and a Twin-Linked Lascannon. Plus it has 3x Hull Points and better armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Absolutely 100% positive that Sisters only have access to the Avenger Strike Fighter, Aquila Lander and Arvus Lighter. The most recent rules that allow Sisters to take fliers are Imperial Armour Aeronautica. While more recent versions of the Avenger, Thunderbolt and Lighting have appeared, they have only been made available in those lists to the specific Guard regiments the rules are written for, and for Guard armies. I also find the idea that Sisters struggle to get enough anti-tank in their lists highly amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a problem with Anti-Tank lol, however they do have a lack of range with the exception of the Exorcist. Still a shame that the sisters only have access to the Avenger Strike Fighter, I like it but I would rather have a flyer with 3x HP and one that can actually be of use for all phases in terms of Anti-Air, Anti-Infantry, and Anti-tank.

*Furyou Miko Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 What, exactly, does the Avenger struggle with target-wise? The Bolt Cannon scythes through everything up to heavy infantry, and lascannons go straight through aircraft armour... the bolt cannon's not bad against tanks, either, if you get in behind them. The only thing it can't do is take a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel44 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Does the Avenger Strike Fighter come with Lascannons base? If that's the case then my Battle Scribe app isn't up to date on that lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard Avenger comes with an Avenger Bolt Cannon, two Lascannons and a rear-mounted Skyfire Heavy Stubber that can target independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
