"This multi-part resin kit contains the components necessary to assemble a Legio Custodes Orion Assault Dropship, a Lord of War choice for your Talons of the Emperor army. This is an especially dense example of a flyer – it’s not covered head to toe in bells and whistles, but certainly features enough weaponry to make it an incredibly efficient part of your arsenal. It features 2 Lastrum bolt cannon, turret-mounted on either side of the cockpit, 2 Spiculus bolt launchers with vent systems and 2 Arachnus heavy blaze cannon – the latter is complete with cooling systems, mounts, power supplies and fuel cells visible. Appropriate to its ability to carry units into the fray, it can be modelled with the rear open – within, walls and benches are visible, with a ramp attached to the rear for the troops within to descend.
This kit comes as 71 components, and is supplied with a flying stem and 160mm round base."
Description by Garro:
"Kit comes with a special resin 'short' flyer stand, and a regular plastic full height flyer stand, uses a massive round base, think it's the same size one for some of the bigger AoS monsters. From the model and instruction guide we can say that the Weapons are a twin linked heavy blaze cannon, two twin linked bolt cannons and two spiculus bolt launchers. Model has 8 seats inside so that's the likely troop capacity." [source]
