A sub-category of Heavy Bommers, called Blasta Bommers, are completely retrofitted with nothing but guns and sent out to, predictably, *blast* the enemy to bits with hot lead. The Blasta Bommers are meant for executing low-flying ground attacks, and therefore they are armed with a plethora of [[Shoota]]s, [[Zzap_Gun|Zzap guns]], and Rokkits. Of course this means that they have to sacrifice space normally designated for their bomb payloads in order to store ammunition and add mounting points for their plethora of gunz. In real life, dedicated light and medium bomber aircraft were actually converted into gun-laden assault planes. These are known as Attack aircraft, though the Blasta Bommer combines this concept with that of the Flying Fortress by mounting a number of independent machine guns along its flanks.

Apparently the (in)famous Ork philosopher and mekboy supreme [[Orkimedes]] was inspired by Imperial [[Marauder Bomber|Marauders]] and came up with idea for the Blasta Bommer during the Third War for Armageddon. Most Imperial authorities would consider this flattering (say whatever you know about the Orks, but they survived the War in Heaven and have been going strong for 60 million years, never able to be eradicated, the [[Old Ones]] made them tough), but the [[Mechanicus|AdMech]] would have a collective seizure (brimming with [[Rage]] and screaming about [[Heresy|tech-heresy]]) if you dare tell them that a filthy xeno has vandalized the concept of one of their vehicles.

In 7th Edition of Imperial Armour 8, the Blasta Bommer is very much like the Marauder variant for Imperials, instead of bombs and ordinance this thing carries lots of heavy guns for ground attack. Think of this as an Orky A-10 Warthog (the Orkiest of all airplanes). It can crank out a hilarious amount of the aforementioned [[Shoota]], [[Zzap Gun]], and [[Rokkit Launcha|Rokkit]] hits to mow down large numbers of enemies, while having the range to buzz around, loitering out of reach of the enemy's guns. The lack of Blast weapons means this is more suited for destroying a few hard targets over obliterating large formations, playing counterpart to the traditional Bomma. However, it is the death of Titans, MEQs, and any vehicle anywhere. Just think of it in terms of it's gun: 120" Range, Str 9, Ap 3, Heavy 3D6, plus D3 Supa Rokkits.
