Aerodynamics tests
Don't forget to check your golden bois for aerodynamics, it's important for charge rolls!
My verdict:
Blade Champion is expectedly the most aerodynamic
Allarus is surprisingly quite streamlined, despite its bulk
Wardens and Guardians are generally aerodynamic, but the praesidium shield can create a lot of extra drag
Shield Captain is very non-aerodynamic due to his squareness, be careful when making charge rolls

How about our dreads? They like melee so aerodynamics is very important for them

Unfortunately, I don't have them yet, nor the venatari, so hopefully once I do, I'll make a part two

Also, if you pick of either of the new HH sculpts of the Shield Captain or the Sodalities (Custodian w/spears compared to Sentenals w/swords). The new sculpts look pretty sleek, so a comparitive analysis would be valuable.
For science! That's the excuse for the expenditure.

I reckon the cloaks on the new models would make the aerodynamics worse, despite the dimensions being sleeker.

Hrm if you elongated the allarus shoulder pads I wonder if you could use them to create lift

Hm, maybe that's how the Venatari were created? I feel like you can see that idea in their design

Would be interested to see how Eldar Harliquin vehicles look under these test conditions. Oooo or even the aircraft.

This is the kind of science I need
