bluntblade Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Assuming that a Mechanicus Adept, seconded to a Space Marine Legion, will maintain his own personal transport, what craft would that be? Are there established craft, and if not, what kind of appearance should I give his? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm confused from whence your question stems. Are you referring to an existing 40k model, a FW model, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I was also confused what do you mean. Are you talking about something like a personal shuttle for a Magos or something larger like a personal warship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Assuming that a Mechanicus Adept, seconded to a Space Marine Legion, will maintain his own personal transport, what craft would that be? Are there established craft, and if not, what kind of appearance should I give his? Even Space Marine Legions and the later Chapters don't exclusively use Thunderhawks and other dedicated gunships for all their transport needs. Bulk cargo haulers and landers, lighters of various types for inter-fleet transport of crew and materials. Certainly any visiting dignitaries or agents of other Imperial offices would likely maintain their own transport if they had the resources to do so and that would be maintained and launched from a secondary hangar somewhere. As for what that would be I'd suggest the Arvus Lighter or Aquila Lander would be prime choices even for a Mechanicus Adept as they are among the most common and ubiquitous void-capable transports in the Imperium. Up-armed and up-armored and sporting more advanced systems than the normal if it's in service to the Mechanicus certainly, but still recognizable as a common transport craft.

bluntblade Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Sorry, posted late over here. We're talking a Magos attached to a Great Crusade fleet - and yeah, basically a shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Aquilla Lander, Arvus Lander should be very likely. Depending how impertant he might be a Thunderhawk. And all of them very likely heavyly customized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The aquila is no longer available from forgeworld as far as I know, while the arvus is still available. In an artwork used in shield of baal 1, gathering storm 3 and I think it was February's white dwarf, there's an imperial city with small spacecraft flying down its streets and some are vaguely skull-like. So an option would be to scratchbuild a skullship if you don't want an arvus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
