Aerodynamic design signals yielding to and working within a xenos environment. Better to double the engine output and brute force your way through that inferior airspace.

This was originally part of the Battle for Mccragge starter set way back in 4th edition. I should probably finish painting mine one of these days, I have a base coat that has been there for 10 years

This is amazing. I have those terrain pieces and it's hilarious he made that into an actual ship. It looked really good! Then he painted it and now it belongs here.

It just need to land. Taking off again, staying in the air or moving horizontally aren't important. Just shove it off the space-ship in orbit, let gravity do the rest of the work. Turned out guardsmen were very unhappy about getting to the battlefield in just a box, the A-M enginseers figured it wouldn't be too heretical to stick some wings on the box to allay the grunts' fears.

Also in DoW2, for the guard everything from stationary turrets to guardsmen to baneblades are delivered in identical shipping containers strapped to a valkyrie.

Theoretically it's a ground to orbit capable shuttle. If it can do that - and you're prepared to waste the fuel - it has thrust enough that aerodynamics aren't strictly necessary.

Imperial vehicles look like someone discovered new technology that could make their vehicles go 1000 times faster then decided that 500 times faster was okay as long as their tank/plane/spaceship was twice as heavy.

Well of course not, they make their vehicles out of plas-steel and adamantium like all Emperor fearing souls should. They don't grow their ships out of bone crystals like some wussy space elves.

Guard vehicles looks like they found trading cards of old armor, but don't know how they work, so they just shove tech into similar shaped boxes as the trading cards.

If I could afford it I would field an entire army of nothing but poorly painted/assembled minis bought off eBay. I can only imagine the anger that would geneate.

The Aquila Lander doesn't actually land at all. It is designed to enter the atmosphere and then tumble violently towards the ground at an extreme velocity. It was discovered by Billy-Bob Lander.

Groetgaffel posted:I mean you joke, but this is just straight up drop pods. Yes, but when the rockets were added to slow decent there were lots of complaints from the more hardcore chapters. The solid *thump* of the landing is part of the process of awakening the older Dreadnoughts, after all. Groetgaffel posted:Also in DoW2, for the guard everything from stationary turrets to guardsmen to baneblades are delivered in identical shipping containers strapped to a valkyrie. Everything is delivered flat-pack then assembled by tech-priests on site - although they tend to complain about sticking the guardsmen back together after they've been "ergonomically stowed".
