Stormcloud Attack
Stormcloud Attack is a stand-alone two player game released by Games Workshop in June 2016.
Description
The sky shall be your grave.
The galaxy of the 41st millennium burns, trapped in an unending war, with every race set against every other, in all imaginable theatres of conflict. A vital component of these battles is the desperate struggle for aerial superiority: wings of aircraft engaging in spectacular dogfights, weaving through storms of bullet hell, swooping into valleys to shake off enemies before unleashing incredible firepower, climbing at stunning speed to gain the perfect angle for a volley of missiles... the skies darken with fleets of combat aircraft vying for superiority, with the unfortunate second-best falling from the sky in spiraling pieces.
