I like it. one of the best I've seen so far. looking forward to see the updates.

I think the wings are a bit short compared to the length.

[jester_prince]

I say keep the headlights, i think they keep the front interesting, the dropship in aliens had them i think, good for lighting the lz :wink:. This is deffinetly the best one i have seen so far, once the two halves are joined properly this could look fantastic.

Hey Paulson Guess who??! Its good to see you here on B&C and I have to say great start on the Storm Raven This is the same as I plan on building one Making the Mini Thunderhawk look rather than the weird Valk kitbash I too say keep the Headlights and keep up the good work.

[Wayward]

It gives me the feel that the hurricane bolters will shred the front wings when they start firing. Apart from that, looks sweet :tu:

Im liking this alot,the engins on the wings looks better as it spreads the mass of the raven a bit, looks good.I agree with wayward about the hurricane bolters but where else do you put them.Its got that STC feel about it which I think is very important with all marine stuff nowdays.Lastly where are the heavy bolters going.Keep up the great work.cheers

I liked the engines of the first set of pics, other than that this model is gorgeous, really you did a good job, while keeping the style of STC's.

[Zeruul]

I think it looks ok so far. however I had a question. For the Hurricane bolters, are they setup so that they can rotate and point at angles differently than normal? For a design like this, it just feels like the Bolters should be able to point downwards to strafe at things that it flies over.

It's so...sexy. I want to buy a dozen Land Raiders and Valkyries...and not be a Vanilla.

The problem with the belly gun is the storm raven couldn't really land. i don't know the rules for the raven, but cant you put on two hurricane bolters? For symmetricalness?

 

 

ACTUALLY you could put the heavy bolters as a tailgun!! that would be awesome!!

I had heard people describe the new Stormraven as a Land Raider with wings, but I never thought I would actually see a Land Raider... with wings. Totally awesome.

[AngryJohnny]

I really like your interpretation of the Storm Raven. You've created a fantastic model there. For your Heavy Bolters, I think it would look really cool as a belly mount (like the old ball turret gunners of WWII). I can't wait to see your finished product.

[the_forgefather]

This honestly looks a a GW product! Good job :lol:

[Chaplain Desmodus]

I like it too. :)

 

So have you converted the dreadnought-grapples? What does the SR look like from behind?

[DerekLee688]

This is among my favorites of the stormraven conversions.

 

The hardest thing about comming up with a concept in my mind is how to mount a chin mounted assault cannon and a front hatch. One solution is to have it land in an upward angle like an AH-64 Apache gunship. It flies level and lands with an upward angle. However, alot of the conversions tend to be front heavy.

Love it!! The Stormraven is awesome!! Well done Brother!!! ;)

[S. Bloodhowl]

Those claws are AWESOME, so's the rest

[Saphos]

Double frikkin awesome!!! :huh:

 

The only thing I don´t like a 100% is the placement of the Assaultcannons but it beats me to make a better proposal. Can´t wait to see them finished and painted.

[Rorschach]

Overall, it looks a great piece. I agree with all comments on the Hurricanes being out of place, to me they seem to ruin the balance of the model a bit. I would suggest perhaps restructuring it to a horizontal compartment, and either bellymounting it or shaping a tailturret, as suggested earlier. A third option though, is to separate the racks onto both sides, having three guns under either wing, gunship-style. But I'd definitely either center or split the Hurricanes.

 

Also, it needs turnsignals and a purple paint job. Maybe some sharpened wood :)

Also, it needs turnsignals and a purple paint job. Maybe some sharpened wood ;)

 

It also needs a trio of misfit crew, and a talking PotMS ;)

 

(and keep your hatches closed when you fire the Assault Cannons)

 

 

 

Humor aside; for the Hurricanes, I agree that they look out of place. I think that you should mount them like the underwing Heavy Bolters on a T-Hawk. It would require a bit of converting, but they would still be on sponson mounts, and I think it would look a lot better.
