I’ve always quite liked the Forge World Imperial Navy Arvus Lighter for Warhammer 40K.
The Arvus is a small cargo shuttle commonly used to transfer supplies and small personnel units ship-to-ship or from fleet positions to planetary installations. While unarmed, the Arvus is capable of standing in as an assault boat, able to transport small infantry squads or boarding parties.
This was very much a scenery item, or a scenario objective, something from which a narrative game could be played.
I am pleased to see it is still available from Forge World, these photographs were taken at Games Day 2006, and there are many Forge World models that are now no longer available.
