I have been looking over the experimental Grey Knights list - and one of the options is for Inquisitorial Warbands to have an Imperial Landing Party transport. This costs of 3 Arvus Landers and 1 Aquila transport. These things seem to be something I almost never see on eBay or on trade sites. Are these hen's teeth? Should I just proxy them with Lightnings / Thunderbolts? |

Yeah my experience as well. Personally I've thought of using some xwing landers for those types of things which has a double bonus if you play the game. The prepaints are at tabletop standard and take well to additional washes (especially enables and oils) and weathering directly. YMMV Edit: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/p ... sion-pack/ https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/p ... t-carrier/ https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/p ... sion-pack/ |

I was googling and I can't seem to see an obvious X-Wing model that is designed as a troop lander - do you mean the Imperial shuttles? |

@Jim Those are nice but they are bigger than a Thunderhawk Lander when you get them on the table. The Arvus was teeny, kind of the size of an A-Wing in that scale. @Legion 4 The Buffalo one certainly looks like the right angular look. @OmniJackal No, the Epic Imperial Navy Arvus Lighter: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/images989/IMG_3318.jpg |

Ahhh always thought it was a bigger beast than that (never seen one in the flesh, so to speak). In that case perhaps something like this then https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/p ... sion-pack/ anyways best of luck finding either a suitable proxy or an original! |

I might have a spare Aquila knocking about somewhere if it's any use, will have a search All my Arvus are in use though (I don't think there are any spare but I'll go through the boxes) |

Aquila pic: http://wh40k-de.lexicanum.com/wiki/Aquila_Lander In general the IA wayback machine does have some of the forgeworld pages, e.g.: https://web.archive.org/web/20090318060 ... _NAVY.html But the image of the aquila is missing. It's useful to remind yourself what the pieces used to cost though  For instance...https://web.archive.org/web/20041207200 ... IN_28.html Why oh why did I never get round to buying a cathedral? |
