==Archaeopter Fusilave==
[[File:Fusilave.JPG|250px|right|thumb|Takes the word ''''Batshit'''' to a ''whole new meaning.'']]
The bomber variant of the family, has a circular rack of bombs mounted in the ass, which means that the Fusilave shares the same [[Bullshit|design philosophy]] as the [[Swooping Hawks]] and the [[Pteraxii#Skystalkers|Skystalkers]]. It's just like a metal pigeon, just with more explosives.

The Archaeopter Fusilave is armed with no fewer than four [[Heavy Stubber|Cognis Heavy Stubbers]] as well as the aforementioned bomb rack of [[Grenades & Explosives#Tectomagnic Munitions|Tectomagnic Munitions ]] which it can drop on enemy ground forces from above. Archaeopter Fusilaves are great options for countering enemy assaults, blunting their advances with bombing runs that are equally destructive and disruptive. In contrast to the Stratoraptor, which can target-lock specific or very important targets, the Fusilave is based more on dealing with entire horde armies via a well-saturated carpet bomb. As such, this makes the Fusilave only viable when in 'fly' mode as making your bomber in 'hover' mode would just turn it into a bullet magnet.

Tabletop wise, it is what you expect. Your guns are improved negligibly to four separate Cognis Heavy Stubbers, but you also get the bombs. Every turn after moving, you get to roll up to 10d6 worth of dice on any enemy units you flew over (with monsters and vehicles acting as 3d6), with every 4+ resulting in a mortal wound. It is actually much more of a support and board control unit than a pure damage dealer platform. It will allow you to control enemy movement, deal a few mortal wounds here and there, and later if that thing does survive, grab an objective in hover mode.

One good advantage about the tectomagnic munitions is that, unlike traditional bombs of other factions, this thing isn't a one-use pony and have a nifty trick to halve enemy mobility with a stratagem. You can choose an enemy squad that is closing with your shooting units and it likely won't charge, while you shoot them with impunity. The bomb itself will deal solid 5 Mortal Wounds to a unit of monstrous creatures like Necron Wraiths. Target of stratagem and target of bombs may not be the same, you just have to fly over. Maximum effect of stratagem will be on fast land targets, like bikes, dragoons, rhinos, all land transports, daemon engines, large squads of advancing infantry like ork mobs.
