Aeronautica Imperialis (game)
Aeronautica Imperialis is a tabletop game produced by Forge World and represents aerial combat between two opposing forces in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Overview
Aeronautica Imnperialis is a tabletop game which uses 6mm scale models to represent the various aircraft and ground based anti-aircraft weapons of the opposing forces. Although this is the same model scale as the
Epic game system the two are not compatible as the game mechanics and table top scales are quite different.

Aeronautica Imperialis: Wings of Vengeance
|
Aeronautica Imperialis: Wings of Vengeance is a 2019 update of the Aeronautica Imperialis system. In Aeronautica Imperialis, you’ll be able to unleash your inner wing commander with a brand-new range of intricate and beautiful models. These were designed by the team behind Adeptus Titanicus to recreate icons of the 41st Millennium like the Dakkajet and the Thunderbolt on a compact scale without losing charm or detail. Offering fresh new opportunities for painters and modellers, these multipart plastic models will form the foundations of a new range Games Workshop will be supporting for years to come.[1]
The new models are designed at an 8mm scale, the same as the recently-rebooted Adeptus Titanicus.[2]
An expansion rulebook, known as Aeronautica Imperialis: Rynn's World Air War, has also been released.
