The Ares is a potent terror weapon, bypassing enemy armies as it blazes over their lines in the shadow of its eclipse shields. Using its immensely destructive Arachnus magna-blaze cannon against the monuments and edifices which an enemy culture hold most dear to their hearts, it strikes a decisive blow against their will to wage war.

This heavily-armed super-heavy gunship is ideal for taking out large targets such as monsters and vehicles, and even packs enough of punch to take down the void shields of Titans. It is protected by its eclipse shield, making it nigh-on impervious to return fire.

This highly-detailed 80 part resin kit builds one Legio Custodes Ares Gunship. It comes supplied with one 160mm Citadel round base and a plastic flying stand (to use when flying) and a smaller resin flying stand (to use when hovering). Rules for using it in the Age of Darkness can be found in The Horus Heresy Book VIII: Malevolence and rules for using it in Warhammer 40,000 are available as a PDF download.
