This book has the full game rules (the rulebook in the starter set misses out important things like dealing with ground targets), and a collection of scenarios: both things of interest to any Aeronautica player who doesn’t have the earlier (and now out of print) books. The story information on the Heresy is interesting, but the special rules for specific space marine legions feel rushed and underdeveloped.
