Adeptus Mechanicus: Archaeopter

Adeptus Mechanicus Archaeopter

This incredible box offers you the opportunity to build one of three variations of a new flyer. The Transvector brings elite troops to the front and provides fire support, the Fusilave is a bomber, and the Stratoraptor is a specialized gunship. All share the same unusual design with huge mechanical bat wings, retractable landing gear, and a distinctly curved cockpit.

The Archaeopter is an agile fixed-wing aircraft and is not only a true workhorse in the toxic Martian atmosphere but has also been deployed for millennia at the forefront of the Tech-Priests' expansions on distant worlds. The pilot is a member of the Pteraxii caste, whose legs and scapuli superior are hard-wired to the aircraft's controls, and the nanocarbon fiber fabric of the Archaeopter's wings is malleable - a characteristic it shares with Pteraxii flight modules. This makes it extremely maneuverable and able to adapt to ambient pressure. The Archaeopter undertakes both reconnaissance flights and flights to deliver teams of deadly special forces behind enemy lines or into the heart of battle.

The Archaeopter Transvector is capable of transporting up to 6 Secutarii, Electro-Priest, Tech-Priest, or Skitarii models and is equipped with two cognis autocannons and a twin cognis autocannon, allowing it to provide area-wide suppressive fire. The Archaeopter Transvector can also be upgraded with chaff launchers to thwart incoming enemy fire. The combination of speed, aerial maneuverability, and transport capacity makes the Archaeopter Transvector an ideal choice for deploying Skitarii to distant objectives.

This kit can alternatively be used to build an Archaeopter Fusilave or Archaeopter Stratoraptor, which means you'll have plenty of leftover parts to use for conversions in your collection.

The kit contains 94 plastic components and comes with a Citadel 70mm x 109mm oval base and a 15mm ball stem with adapter nut.

The Adeptus Mechanicus Archaeopter in this set consists of plastic components. They are unpainted and need to be assembled. Paints, tools, and glue are not included in the box.
