I know i said aircraft are a side line but yesterday i couldn't help myself at games day uk and purchased a lightining of which i intend to make a 3 aircraft flight in the long run. however i cant decide how to set it up. do i add the auto cannon or the two hellstreak missiles? im torn as some one i'm due to apocolypse, has three blades and i plan to use the aircraft to confuse harrass and destroy said baneblade! and untill he gets some air defences i figure my fighter/bombers can do that with impunity. so guys do i go missiles or auto cannon?

Lightning Strike fighters only have their 2 missiles. While the normal Lightnings can do several attack runs with their Autocannons. Oh and btw its possible to kill a aircraft with a boltgun

here's a question i dont have my imperial armour book about at the moment is it 1 auto cannon or two that's mounted on it i know bolters can work but the fact is with three hundred guard and 10 armoured units and all the other gubbins roaring towards his smurfy self im hopeing that most of his units will be to well engaged by the time it turns up to risk all the 6's he needs to bring it down.

the dirty balggard is all the way a heratic his smurf and ig task force is all the way too forward thinking and the inquestition have decided that his chapter has a little to much in the way of obscure illegal heretical practises with sheep and goats etc if you get the picture, so my task force have the job of ending there wierd little ways or at least thats the fluff, where do i get magnets sutable for the job from and that.

I'm not sure of the website, but google "rare earth magnets." (the website's probably http://www.rareearthmagnets.com)
Lightnings only have one long barreled autocannon.
Aircraft are a big source of Victory Points and are usually a target. Read your rules carefully to avoid getting shot down. If you want some good tactics for getting the most out of your fliers, PM me.

*Calls inquisition on Sammy* 45 minutes later... *Inquisition Storm Troopers take him away*
Well, aircraft are pretty...fragile...and baneblades...well...they are IG Space Cruisers on treads...

I'm still a tad surprised somebody is daring to use flyers, its not too common. And its pretty tough to use.
