I'm having a go at adapting some Air war rules for use with forgeworld Epic aircraft (I can't wait for Forgeworld to release their rules). However I do not know what the weapons fit of Thunderbolts (or indeed Chaos fighters) is with regard to air to air combat? The Epic A rulebook only covers ground attack.

The Chaos stats are taken from Black Legion 3.7 List.
I have given the stats as listed. You may have noticed the descrepancy with regard to the twin lascannons. They may be going for the whole idea that bombers and fighter bombers have more room for larger capacitors etc. hence the greater range...of course it could just be a typo.

Keep in mind that some of the aircraft have balance issues.
For some toned down stats for Lighting, Lighting Strike and Marauder Destroyer, check out the Elysian Drop Troop list in the Epic Rules/Imperial Guard section.
