Custom Fighta-Bomba using the new ork bomma kit

 I recently purchased one of the new Ork Bommer kits for Warhammer 40k.  After reading through the rules that were published in White Dwarf, I decided I was less than impressed with any of the three variants.  Granted, they might experience some drastic improvements once the rumored 6th edition becomes a reality.

Anyways, after comparing what each variant's current capabilities are against the rokkit buggies and bikers that currently fill the fast attack slots in my speed freaks army, I decided that I would probably only use the dakkajet /blitza-bomber / burna-bomber in an apocalypse setting.  That immediately introduced a new delimma.  These models are technically skimmers, but apocalypse allows flyers.  Well, this then led me to consider building the kit as a stand-in for the Forgeworld Fighta-Bomba from the apocalypse rulebook.

So, without further ado...

Say hello to my custom fighta-bomba.  As you can see, the model is armed with 4 wing-mounted big shootas and a turret-mounted twin-linked big shoota.  In addition, I'll be using the burna rokkits to represent the basic bomb load (apoc barrage 8) of the fighta-bomba, and the two blitza-bombs as the burna-bombs option (hellstorm template).

Granted, this configuration doesn't match any of the three variants found in white dwarf.  However, given it will be an apocalypse game only model for me, I don't see it as a great disadvantage.
