The BoW "disruption" yesterday & June 2nd Flyers

First off, I'm 98% sure it was a staged "DDoS" event. Basicly they wanted to look like BoK did when there was rumors of rumors of 6th. It was strange how the site went back live after Turn 8 was done being streamed.

That said, They did break some information from a "reliable source" that June 2nd will be a Flyer launch for Necrons, C:SM, and Orks.

The following were copied from BoLS lounge. I figured people didn't want to sift though the crappy 50,000 Storm bird jokes.

So what we have are are 3 new Ork flyers and the new C:SM gunship.

From the image of the Stormtalon, I'd say it's going to probably be a Fast slot, and that it will be a little bigger than the current Land Speeder. It's default load out with TL-HB and (i from the image i dont see a TL on it) assault cannon, is priced right @ 130 i think. and loading it up with TL-Las, any other options they give it, will put it in line should put it in line with a Raven in points.

I really cant speak to the stats/info that they released on the ork flyers, but they look to add some intresting things things to the orks.

Add in the Necrons Scythe kit/kits this should be an interesting month prior to 6th (If it happens in July).

Oh and if this is true, I'm a little sad. I just spent the money to start converting 3 night scythes from mobious cylon raiders.
