When you consider the mountainous realm of the Dwarfs, it’s easy to see why they invented the ingeniously lightweight Gyrocopter. Capable of taking off and landing easily amid otherwise unreachable peaks, the Gyrocopter is a versatile tool that serves as both a scout and war machine. Supplies and messages can be dropped from a Gyrocopter directly onto a beleaguered Dwarf settlement, enabling them to hold out longer or send word for help. What’s more, the Gyrocopter is armed with a steam-powered gun capable of unleashing a hail of lead onto the heads of unsuspecting greenskins.

Welcome back to the Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game weekly spotlight! With The Twin Tailed Comet streaking across tabletops, it’s time to turn our attention to the stars. Signs in the Stars is the fourth Battle Pack in The Morrslieb Cycle, and it’s headed your way later this month. So far, we’ve seen the corrupting power of the Masque of Slaanesh. Today, let’s take a look at a versatile Dwarf war machine: the ingenious Gyrocopter.

A Versatile War Machine

This two-cost attachment allows a unit to attack from any zone, letting high-powered Dwarf units have their cake and eat it too. A hero like Gurni Thorgrimson can now lend his power to your Kingdom or Quest zone, but still remain available to bolster the front line (and in Gurni’s case, attaching the Gyrocopter will make him even more powerful).

For that matter (when it comes to attacking), the Gyrocopter provides a handy work-around for the “Limit one Hero per zone” rule, since you can have one Hero attack from the battlefield and another from either remaining zone. What are some other applications for the Gyrocopter? Share your comments below!

Morrslieb’s strange effect has brought destruction to the Old World, but perhaps there’s relief in the night sky’s other omens. Look for Signs in the Stars at your local retailer later this month, and keep checking back for more on Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game!
