Hi all, Forgeworld have a new lander for the Imperial Navy: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/arvusl.htm The Arvus lighter shouldn't be too difficult to scratch for Epic - a small Lander, perhaps. (thinks) (yes, it happens on occasion) (  ) I wonder if an Epic Navy list would work - Navy landers, Navy fighters, aerial bombardment, landing parties... ummm.

Is it just me, or does it look Star Wars-ish? |

That I dont like! It looks like the wings would actually flap when it takes off!  And I would feel very vulnerable as the pilot.

But probably not a vulnerable as a landspeeder pilot! |

No similar thoughts went through my mind. Lets hope FW will continue their recent good habits of releasing 40k sclae models in Epic scale. Cheers James |

You have my attention now... No reason it shouldnt work. Lots of air and orbital cover. And boarding parties wouldnt be too dissimilar to Assault troops. It would be a specialised force with no armour (maybe some bikes?) but would have a lot of flavour. Hmmm.....

I like it ... hope they make it in Epic Scale ... looks like it could make a nice Lt. Dropship/Lander/Utility craft/vessel ! ?Kind of reminds me of a CH-47 !  Or even a UH-60 !  |

Oh dear, too much on my plate at the moment Tas - which means, of course, yes (anyway, I can never have too many projects running at any one time,be they models or otherwise). And on the condition we get to include an Enginseer Expecting your email.

"Arent you a little short for a stormtrooper?" ? No...Assault troopers, the old SM2 era ones Possibly some robots too - they could be stored more easily onboard the Ship. ?As could rapiers and the like. ? Though we are getting very old school now Ships have Commissars and tech-adepts too so they could be landed with the sailors. There was some good Naval Landing party action in the first BFG Novel | |||
