Flexilex Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Hello Brothers, I'm converting a stormraven from the valkery/whirlwind kit using the tutorial from patzgcruz found here Minor changes are the still sliding doors and less use of plasticard. All C&C is welcome And the inside is also important if all doors remain open: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Love the sleek feel and the troop compartment. :D It does appear to be quite orange in the photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexilex Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thank you! :D It's not orange at all in real life, but the lightflash makes it look very bright. I've glued most parts in place now, only the weapons and some painting to go I'm very happy with the still sliding doors: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Nice conversion. And I'm sorry, but what IS a stormraven? I've seen them popping up everywhere but I'm completely out the loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Instrument Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 New troop transport in the BA codex but GW haven't released their own model for it. This one looks pretty cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Curse the blood angels! Why can't us Codexers have airbournes... Regardless, the conversion is ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-Death-Company+Astorath Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 DONT CURSE THE BLOOD ANGELS! WE DESERVE THESE AIRBOURNE CRAFTS AS WE ARE A CHAPTER NEARLY ON EXTICTION! MAY SANGUINIUS HAVE MERCY ON YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Dan'l Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Firstly, it's Airborne not Airbourne. I think Airbourne is the next Matt Damon movie. :confused: Secondly, beautiful version of the Patzgcrux Stormraven. The way you made the doors work is better than the original. What are you going to use for the Bloodstrike missiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexilex Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 What are you going to use for the Bloodstrike missiles? I'll stick to the original and use the whirlwind parts. I've bought the whirlwind for this project so afterwards I'll have a fast rhino to keep up with the raven ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Projects like these make me want to start Blood Angels... ;) Great job, FlexiLex, and thanks for pointing us to the BoLS tutorial as well! Hmmm, I could use some Rhino's for my Sallies, and I'd love to get me some BA ... Opportunity knocks :angry: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Firstly, it's Airborne not Airbourne. I think Airbourne is the next Matt Damon movie. ;) I stand corrected and, THERE'S NEW DAMON MOVIE? Bourne, Oceons... all favourites But as to the missiles, I too would use the whilrwhind ones. I think they look good, mounted as they are in the tutorial.

Flexilex Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hello Brothers, I took my Stormraven to my local gamestore to make some pictures with the proper lighting conditions. (so my red looks no longer orange) The weapons are placed now, but the grapple still needs to be attached and there's some plasticard filling todo in the rear wings. Front Side Front closeup, the lascannons are placed to the side so it looks more like the 'stormraven' pic in the SW codex Closeup side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienerd Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I think I see what you mean, page 4 of the space wolves codex? Because it does look bigger than a land speeder and smaller than a thunderhawk, which plasters nearly every other picture. I think 'll give this conversion a go one day, whe I have the parts, but for now I'll gaze open mouthed at yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douchie Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 You've done an excellent job, with your stormraven & you've inspired me to try my hand at converting one. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexilex Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Finished! Finally I came around to the final touches of my stormraven. Here it is in all it's glory. Unusually sharp Slightly less sharp front view Did I mention sliding doors? The attached dread And last but not least: a painted interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 i never thought i would like the sleeker look to the lander but i must admit that i really like the final product, looks like a swift deployment followed by covering fire, like a black hawk helicopter well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Fire Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 That looks amazing! I don't collect BA but am thinking of giving this a go just for fun! Why can't other chapters have airborne units other than the Thunderhawk of course. GW Take note we want airborne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
