Ergo untill fw updates its rules we lack one of the best units. After that those playing in a fw free environment are still in trouble. Truly with that and the death of preffered enemy executioner our codex got a serious hit .... What happened to PE Executioner??

Gaining preffered enemy does not allow to reroll gets hot rolls of 1 according to the FAQ. So combining it with pask or placing next to kurovs aquila does not help preventing it from glancing itself to death.....

Which makes very little sense, as you now use PE to re-roll all to hit rolls of 1 except those that 'get hot'. And you can still re-roll 'gets hot' if you have bs6/master crafted/twin-linked... I'm not quite sure who is writing these FaQ's, but they all include questions that I havent heard anyone in... interesting... ways. But I'm hoping FW publishes some rules for their flyers soon, I don't have any vendetta's myself.. But my Tau flyers are FW and I'd like to be able to use them in games.

Whichever one allows you complete and total victory over the enemies of mankind.

Yup. But people have become used to it being a decent AA/AT choice. I think it is stuck snap firing vs flyers on the table and is probably junk in the off table dog fights. (Which will be easier to gauge once people play some games with them.) Any further word on that?

I haven't played any games with flyers since DftS dropped and I haven't heard anything about how effective the Vendetta is now.

thanks for the post nutty, however, I cannot see the vendetta profile listed in the lower pages; only the thunderbolt and the lightning.
personally I think it acts as a ground attack flyer designed to fire on tanks and fortifications, its role as a anti-flyer unit (for the time being) is negated by its lack of skyfire.
it would be nice to have clarification either way!

Strange.. in the version I downloaded it is listed right after the thunder/lightning. I made a screenie to share It does have completely different formating than the rest of the document though. So it might have been taken out since I downloaded my copy. please let me know if it is a problem to post the image. It came from a free download and all, but I don't want to get the IGMB in trouble with GW.

So the Vendetta does lose skyfire because it is an Attack Flyer but the Avenger is a Strike-Fighter and gets to choose between skyfire and non-skyfire modes. Mwahahahaha, obviously Forgeworld rule writers got too used to brrrrrrt'ing migs with A10 Thunderbolts back in Airland Battle.
(Also, Land Speeder Tempest is a flyer? That's crazy fun.)
