About the game
In Bommerz over da Sulphur River you can take the part of the Ork Fighta-Bommer pilots, screaming down to smash the vital bridges. Or you can command the heroic Imperial defense, pouring a devastating stream of flak and laser fire at your attackers and directing the counter-attack of your brave but outnumbered Thunderbolt Interceptors. Perhaps the strangest game set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Being a Games Workshop game, it includes several aircraft miniatures from the Warhammer 40k Epic line. In 2005, the game was re-released in a free print-and-play PDF file from Games Workshop's "Specialist Games" division website. Everything except the models (which are common GW buys) is now downloadable in the PDF. It was eventually removed in a site redesign, but an archived link is still available.
