bulley Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 After my last 1500 battle vs SW's it was suggested to me to maybe think about the SR instead of my LR, the only problem is obviously the lack of a model. My conversion skills are "ok", though I can be quite impatient and dont have that much time really, there is a nice conversion of a LR w/ a Guard Valk put together which I quite like the look off but without a step by step I am sure I'd find a way to cut the chasis's in exactly the wrong and inrepairable spot. So what do people do. I am surprised forgeworld dont really have a suitable model except the Ram, and I am not opposed to dropping 100 on that as long as the general consensus would be that its an ok "count as". Failing that, half tempted to use a spare LR, stick a flying base on it and paint wings on the side and pretend its a libby land raider.

Erasmus of Baal Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My Land Raider with wings (because that's almost exactly what the conversion is in my pathetic case) works OK. It's just a somewhat modified Land Raider with Valkyrie wings and gets laughed at, but hey, I'm still further along with getting a Stormraven than most people. I would dislike the "Librarian Land Raider" idea, though; if you want to do that as a counts-as until the actual model comes out (all indicators point to January), sure, but you might want to make sure that yo ucan take the flying base off and turn it back int oa Land Radier.

Dingareth Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I used a Land Raider Crusader, Valkyrie, Whirlwind, and Razorback. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4nzgPbHlNo4/TGX78UhIfaI/AAAAAAAAIzA/-_b4QGHEsjw/s1600/bols-dp-0235.jpg http://lh6.ggpht.com/_8uuNU51tIyk/TFQs_NtJxKI/AAAAAAAADt0/7ib6YXZC_H4/s800/IMG_1001.JPG These are rough shots, I'll try to get some better ones up later. If you do just use a Land Raider, at least do what I did, and cut off the struts in the sides that support the track. Flying Land Raider with tracks just looks trashy, without the tracks it's a bit more streamline at least. Grab some Forgeworld doors and it'll look alright. Even just slapping Valkyrie wings on the side would make a big difference over just a Land Raider on a flying stand.

Leonaides Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 FW probably dont have a model in the wings because they know that it'll be coming out early next year and a GW plastic kit would undercut them too much for it to be worth it for so short a time... (I have no special insider knowledge about release-dates, just mentioning what appeared to be percieved wisdom on other sites a few months ago).

bulley Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 If it looks like its coming out I'll sit tight with the LRC for the mean time and then add them later. I'll annoy myself making one then replace it with a better looking model. The "libby LR" was clearly meant to be a joke ....
