It will be interesting to learn if flying transports get to take their cargo off the board with the Archaeopter Transvector and its capacity for 6. Especially with proposed 9th edition changes. These units will never fear flying off the edge of the board unless they want to. It definitely falls into the “unique” side of scifi, and though it is a bit pricey, the cost to fun ratio is very good on it.The new Adeptus Mechanicus flyers have the gracefulness of Aeldari Flyers with a Turn Move Turn ability (Maneuverable Craft) but bring the raw power of Imperium Hover Jet technology. While the kit is designed to be used as a game piece in the Warhammer 40K tabletop game, I’d recommend this kit to anyone. Once that is complete, it’s ready for priming! Once the cockpit is place and the fuselage halves are glued together, you’ll want to use a little bit of filler to close the seams up. The instructions have some nice photos to give painting suggestions, but as with all things Warhammer, you can certainly paint it up as you want. Assembly is quite easy, as there really aren’t a large number of parts.Īs the kit features a fairly nicely little cockpit assembly, I started the painting by getting that sorted out first. There is a seam line down the middle of the fuselage that will need some attention. Examining The Archaeopter KitĪs with all of the Citadel Warhammer kits I’ve built, the parts are nicely molded, with very sharp, exaggerated detail. The landing gear are substituted with grasshopper feet, and you end up with the Archaeopter. The rotor blades are tossed aside, to be replaced by giant mechanical bat wings. To that is added some bolts and gears and grab handles. It starts with what basically looks like an old Soviet helicopter design.
Finish off with by grating some bizzare over it, and you have your Mechanicus design. It’s almost as if there is a recipe for the designs. They’re definitely weird designs, but it’s weird in a wonderful, cool way. If you know Warhammer 40K, as soon as you see the Archaeopter the thought “Adeptus Mechanicus” immediately comes to mind.
