Any landing you can walk away from...

Painted up the Arvus Lighter pretty quickly, primed the whole thing light gray, masked a bunch of areas to airbrush orange brown. Painted the metals and the scorch marks, drybrush, and a final shade wash. Done!

This is going to be terrain for Necromunda so I left the back glued open and didn't include the pilot in the build. Now I just need to build a landing pad for this thing.

Arvus Lighter

I like this. It's not a gunship, not a fighter jet, just a transport. Be it cargo or troops, it does a job. I might get this.

Wave two of the Solar Auxilia range is shaping up nicely. I think at this point we can take it as a given that any Forge World vehicle is likely to get plasticized, late though they may be to that particular party.

The Arvus update looks great, bearing out that the Legions Imperialis version is just a reduced scale rendition of the full-size geometry. Which we knew, of course, but it's always nice to see the evidence first-hand.

The Malcador variants are also welcome additions to the range, although I'm admittedly a little surprised to see them instead of the previously "leaked" Shadowsword. Not that I'm disappointed, but it seems a weird thing to sleep on unless it's been shifted to wave three.

And you just know there's gonna be a wave three.

Aviation April's Stormboyz are gonna teach this puny Arvus Lighter to be the only completely unarmed Warhammer 40k model!

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that an Arvus Lighter should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.

I'm after some advice

Arvus Lighter is up for preorder next week.

I want this. The design appeals to me. It's not a fight jet or a heavy bomber. It's just a work horse. Something, something, a working class hero, something.

But, I have not put a vehicle together for years.

I need an inexpensive 40k vehicle to practice on, so I don't mess this up when I buy it.

Any suggestions?
