james71989 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Im starting a solar auxilia army and have an arvus lighter laying around. Can only the command squad take the arvus or can other squads take it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgoff Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Im starting a solar auxilia army and have an arvus lighter laying around. Can only the command squad take the arvus or can other squads take it as well?It's an regular fast attack choice which means any unit can start in it.

In the red book and battlescribe it doesnt come up as a fast attack, but as a dedicated transport and only the command squad has the option to take the arvus Edited June 6, 2019 by james71989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Battlescribe is by no means a source for rules anyway I still looked it up and in my version the Arvus is a fast attack choice, too. And in that you can start with any infantry unit with 12 dudes or less. Edited June 6, 2019 by Gorgoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its called an auxilia arvus lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its called an auxilia arvus lighterSimple reason. Auxilia is a somewhat latin word for help troops or support element. That's why it is in more than one name. It's loosely based on roman support troops in their legions. Edited June 7, 2019 by Gorgoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james71989 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 So i found that the arvus is also a dedicated transport for the household retinue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Household retinue, topped up CC Marshall, and the surgeon, throw some lascannons on it for lolz and prepare to reap the benefits of awesome rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Legionnaire Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Household retinue, topped up CC Marshall, and the surgeon, throw some lascannons on it for lolz and prepare to reap the benefits of awesome rules Yeah, doesn't work though. An Arvus has a transport capacity of twelve, and a Household Retinue, a Lord Marshal and the Surgeon-Primus Aevos Jovan count as 14 models though, 'cause Aevos Jovan has the very bulky USR. Works fine with a regular Medicae Orderly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Anyone seen any cool alternatives or conversions for an Arvus? I love the standard model as terrain or an objective for narrative but I’m not so keen on it for an actual gunship. The lore mentions a military model and other gunships of the same class being used.

Elzender Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Maybe the flyer from the deathwatch? I don't really know how much work would it be to remove the excess weapons and the Inquisition symbols, but it looks Imperial enough and has tansport bays.

The Valk is actually a bit bigger than the Arvus (the Corvus is too) I was trying to keep to the same bay/body size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
