The boxy craft that can carry it all is coming back to Forge World after a hiatus. It’s the return of the Arvis Lighter!

After being away for a bit the Arvis Lighter is coming back to the Forge World web store. It’s been retooled and ready for production again and now you’ll be able to add one to your Horus Heresy armies soon.

The Arvus Lighter is back, and when the quagmire gets too thick for even tanks to crawl through, there’s nothing else you’ll want at your side. This resin legend of the Horus Heresy era will be returning to the Forge World webstore soon, retooled and ready for flight after a long hiatus.

So what’s so special about the Arvis Lighter? Well, just look at that charmingly boxy frame! It’s kinda cute in a chunky, flightless bird kind of way. But this bird DOES fly and it can take up to 12 passengers with it. While that might not seem like a huge deal to Space Marine Legions it’s pretty darn handy for the Solar Auxilia and command squads. Additionally, it’s cheap to field. Like, real cheap.

“All comfort and style are stripped away in favour of rugged efficiency, making it a bargain option for rapid redeployment – at fewer points than even a Dreadclaw Drop Pod, it’s the cheapest Flyer in Imperial service.”

So if you’re looking for a super cheap option to get your units around the tabletop in a quick and efficient manner the Arvis Light just might be the perfect transport for you. Personally, I’ve seen them be used to great effect not as a transport but as a flyer that could block enemy movement options thanks to it’s base. That said, that was more than a few editions ago…Which is why I’m excited to see this return as an option from Forge World.
