Codex - Aeronautica Imperialis Angry Initiative Edition

Introduction

This is an initiative to improve internal and external balancing of codices.

Every Angry Codex should be able to make the game more fun on its own. While ideally two angry codices will face each other, an angry codex should be able to play against both a normal codex and an angry codex.

The two most important rules are that angry codices should be fun to play with, which is obvious, but just as important, it must be fun to play against.

Disclaimer

Games Workshop in no way endorses any of the Angry Codices. No infringement is intended with this work, nor any other of the Angry Codices. The intent of the angry codices is NOT to make GW go out of business, but rather to improve the quality of the hobby, which leads to a happier and larger player base.

Editing

Feel free to edit wordings to improve readability. Add anything you like to any of the Angry Codices, except the Angry Necrons, Dark Eldar and Daemons, for these documents you should instead first argue in the discussion page before adding or changing anything. If someone objects to something you have written or changed, you should civilly discuss and prove why your idea is good and how it fits with fluff/is more balanced etc. etc. If no conclusion can be made then the Angry Pirate has the final say, if he does not say anything remove any changes from the official codex. If you don´t agree with an edit the Angry Pirate has made you can write in the talk page of the relevant talk page or in my page by clicking the first blue link. Angry Pirate (talk)

High Altitude Flyer

During any of your Movement phases in which this model is Zooming, you may elect to enter High Altitude or Low Orbit until the Flyer's next movement phase. Doing so causes all weapons fired by this model to have their range reduced by 24" (High Altitude) or 48" (Low Orbit) when shooting at anything but Zooming Flyers or Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures. All weapons fired at this model, except those fired by Zooming Flyers or Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures are reduced by 24" when in High Altitude, or 48" when in Low Orbit. In addition any Bombs dropped by this scatter an additional D6" (High Altitude) or 2d6" (Low Orbit).
