Talon Of Chaos – Airwing Detachment £295

Battle-forged armies in Warhammer 40,000 consist of Detachments – groups of units who fight together and are awarded a tactical or strategic bonus for doing so. There are restrictions: often, all units must be of the same Faction, and you are limited in the number of certain Battlefield Roles you can take; but the reward of Command Points, spendable on the Stratagem of your choice, is more than worth it.

This bundle contains 3 Chaos Space Marines miniatures with which to field an Airwing Detachment, using multiple Flyers – in this case 3 Hell Talon Chaos Fighter Bombers, adding 1 Command Point to your arsenal.

Storm Bringers – Airwing Detachment £275
