Bomma

Heavy Bomma, more aerodynamic than half of the Imperial planes.

Ork Bommas or Bommers are an entire family of aircraft dedicated in blowing those puny gitz to smithereens. Bommas come in all shapes and sizes but they all excel at their job. They are not to be confused with the Fighta-Bommer who is more of a transitional vehicle than a dedicated Bommer. The list of Bommas include the Blitza-Bommer, Heavy Bommer, Blasta Bommer and Burna-Bommer.

Blitza-Bommer

BANZAIIII!

The Blitza-Bommer (AKA Accidental Kamikazes) is an Ork dive bomber suitable for the bravest and most mentally unhinged/unstable of Flyboys. These aircrafts 'aim' their bombs by diving at the target, releasing their Boom Bomb at the very last moment possible which is something that tends to panic the onboard Grot Gunner. They often perform 'Blitz' runs where an entire squadron of these guys start peppering a targeted enemy with a barrage of bombs, hence their name.

Like every Ork mentality, you go much faster when plummeting downwards and if you paint it red you go even faster. Some Orks completely forget to pull out of their dive and end up smashing into the ground. Once they've blown everything up (and hopefully not themselves) then there's a pair of supa shootas ready to mop up any stray or squishy targets.

Blitza-Bommers are typically armed with a pair of Supa Shootas and a Grot-manned Big Shoota. Their payload consists of a pair of Boom Bombs, a heavy type of high-explosive bomb.

Heavy Bommer

As their name implies, Heavy Bommers are one of the largest available Bommers in use of the Orks built for sustained heavy bombardment. Due to their size, Heavy Bommers can carry a much bigger payload then their smaller cousins. They are also far more noisier, which complements the Orkish aerial bombardment doctrine of BIG BADDA BOOM! The main problem with Heavy Bommers is there aren't many Orks willing to pilot them, either because the controls are unusually small or the cockpit is cramped. Combine these factors with the universal Ork instinct to fight face-to-face, most of the crews inevitably consist of Gretchin.

Sometimes of course, the bombs malfunction and accidentally blow up inside the Bommer creating a spectacular fireball of Fail.

Blasta Bommer

Blasta Bomma, it has both Dakka and Explosions!

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 Shootas, 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 Marauders and came up with idea for the Blasta Bommer during the Third War for Armageddon. Most Imperial authorities would consider this flattering, but the AdMech would have a collective seizure (brimming with Rage and screaming about tech-heresy) if you dare tell them that a filthy xeno has vandalized the concept of one of their vehicles.

Burna-Bommer

Some Orks just want to watch the world burn.

The Burna-Bommer is a type of Ork attack aircraft. For some Flyboyz, guns might not be as fun as flamethrowers. Orks love fire and it was therefore inevitable that someday a Mek would think of attaching canisters of volatile promethium to the underside of an Ork Bommer, thus the Burna-Bommer was born. And like their Blitza-Bommer cousins, this aircraft performs its attack runs at as low an altitude as possible. Such a technique is, predictably filled with potential Fail.

Burna-Bommers usually feature a twin-linked Supa Shoota and a Grot-manned defence turret, armed with a twin-linked Big Shoota. Their payload includes two Burna Bombs and up to six incendiary Skorcha Missiles
