SO the next army on the list of things to paint is my Aven Army. Now that I have Terrans, Fel'akin and Corrupted Systems / Ghost Fleet armies done, the Aven are next on the list followed by a Synod Army an the evil De'An plus finish the colonial militia I started...
The Aven are a bird-like species that evolved out of flightless hunting birds on their homeworlds of Sera and Akulaa. They have an even greater fascination with flight than even us humans do. Their mecha can transform into three different modes.
the army is based and painted with their base color of tan since they come from an arid world with large deserts.
Three mecha in Soaring mode can strike quickly and escape. They are definitely a Boom and Zoom unit. I will probably use the fighter template with a Medium Projectile FA, Light Missiles and Ack Ack
Striking mode combines the best and worst of both of the other modes but can be very flexible. I will probably use them as an Air Attack Vehicle with a Medium Projectile Cannon, Light Missile Pods and a Specialist Power Claw.
This is the Stalking Mode and I will use medium mecha with a Medium Gatling, Light Power Claw and Micro CIWS and Jump Jets as perks. Each mode is 39 or 40 points and I will probably cost it as 60 points and an action to transform into the next mode.
Even though I plan to get more Aven Infantry right now I just have the two 4 bird squads and a commander. I also have used 13 of the Infiltrator combat armor from MW:DA as Aven combat bots who will be under the command of our erstwhile commander. The Aven are sensitive about loss of life and so use combat bots extensively but under a commanders direct control.
