spu00sed Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Like everyone it seems I decided to build a storm raven Started trying to build one form a Valkyrie. Decided it looked like I didn't kow how to build a valkyrie, so tried again based around a Landraider. This time it looks like a landraider with wiongs, but at least it doesn't make me look like I can't read instructions. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven4.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven2.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven1.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven3.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven5.jpg I still need to do some detail work on the flat areas and green stuff the gaps around the engines. And I am still not sure on the wings, if they need to be swapped around. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Erm. I really would have tried harder to break up the shape of the Land Raider. I mean I know that the Stormraven is referred to as "a flying Land Raider", but I think to take that literally is a mistake. I hate to say it, but that conversion doesn't work.

Loken86 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 i think this is cool cant wait to see it finished. why is there a purple reaver in the back ground lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/#findComment-2384516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 I am planning on finishing it in the next two to three weeks. Thanks for the support. I know it looks like a flying raider, but ,my skill are not enough to make it look otherwise. My second gen should be better, now I know how the bits fit together. So the next generation will look less land raiderish. As for the dark pink Reaver. My main force in both 40K and fantasy is Slaaneshi. So I have a slaaneshi marine army, a Slaaneshi guard army, a slaaneshi super heavy tanl company and a slaaneshi reaver (and I am slowly building a slaanshi warlord).

Malanok Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I loved it. Well, it is very imposing and does stand out enough. I would be proud of it if I were you. Malanok P.S one of my friends looked at the first picture and saw a face (engines are the eyes) and she said "it's staring into my soul!" so... it at least covers the basis of scare tactics Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/#findComment-2384641 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank your friend for me. The first iteration looked like a cross between a fish and jar jar binks! Somthign staring into your soul must be better than one of those two.

Hjaertrr Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I agree with the eye comment, I didn't see it at first but when I scrolled up to look again I got unnerved and closed the page. Back on topic I think its a good conversion, a little on the bulky side but it works well. I think you've done a good job there. Cheers.

Slayer le Boucher Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 The only thing that make it really doesn't feel right is where you put the cockpit. And also that there's a whole gap under the cockpit nose and the raider. For the rest it is good,simple yet effectif.

Asrech Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 It's a bird! It's an airplane! No, it's a flying brick!! :P Seriously I don't mind the 'raider-with-wings version, but I would advice you to re-do the cockpit. Probably just fill in the gap between the cockpit and the top of the hatch. You'd only have the lower part left to open, but then again that's all you need. Looking forward to seeing it with all details you mention :wacko: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/#findComment-2384776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I don't like it. It just looks like a land raider with wings. I think you should pull it apart and start again, using more Valkyrie components this time round. See other Storm Raven conversions for idea.s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/#findComment-2384814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Azeikel Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 It looks good, but i'd suggest joining the cockpit of the valkyrie to the land raider. I don't like how is hangs over it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/#findComment-2384872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Martemis Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 another vote for liking it, BUT, join the cockpit to the hull of the tank, or it just looks like its gonna drop in and dissappear, like a mini thunderhawk transporter Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/#findComment-2385041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu00sed Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 I am filling the hole under the cockpit (need more green stuff) and the gaps around the engines. Brother Martemis you have made me want to make a thunderhawk transporter from a valk to carry the landraiders into battle. A marine version of a Sky Talon.

spu00sed Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Been working on the thunder brick a bit today. Green stuffed most of the holes and added some more icons. I need to wait for the GS to dry before I finish GSing the holes in the engines. However here are a few update shots Thunder brick http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven6.jpg With a Valkyrie for size comparrison http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven8.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven9.jpg With a Sanguinary guard jumping out http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Blood%20angels/Stormraven7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200179-baby-thunderbrick/#findComment-2385390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
