The Arvus Lighter is easily the greatest aircraft in the Imperium’s history, as we discovered when a new resin version hit the shelves last year. But do you know what’s even better than an Arvus Lighter? Eight Arvus Lighters. In plastic!
Now try as we might, we couldn’t fit them in a regular box, so instead, you get an entire squadron for your games of Legions Imperialis.
Flyers are valuable assets in games of Legions Imperialis, and use their speed to soar in from beyond the board edge before strafing targets, bombing strongpoints, and delivering cargo. Given that it’s unarmed, it’s the third of these that the Arvus Lighter excels at, its speed and manoeuvrability making it perfect for dropping elite Solar Auxilia units into hotzones.
Though the hold isn’t big enough to carry entire tercios, it can still hold a respectable pair of detachments, and when grouped into squadrons, is fully capable of air-lifting a complete assault force to the front lines. It also sports rather good armour for an otherwise cut-price runabout.
Join us next Thursday as we get exclusive access to some closely guarded weapon vaults.
