chaplain belisarius Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 any idea when the model will be released? any idea what it will look like? thanks...:P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214319-stormraven-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulley Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Rumour is that it will get released with the Grey Knights in or around Feb (should they get announced in Jan). Only reason I am holding back making one or buying the forgeworld Ram thing as a count as. IF they are making the model (forgeworlds lack of a model makes me think they are), I'll prob end up with 6 lol (for my GK's aswell!)

NExOBLIVISCARIS Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 rumor from a reliable sorce (stickmonkey) says it looks like a mini thunderhawk Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214319-stormraven-model/#findComment-2551158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Xeones Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Actually, I remember that Stickmonkey said the concepts he saw looked like a cross between the I.N. Lightning and the dropship from Aliens. Take that for what you will. I personally have trouble coming up with a mental blend of those two. :o Most rumors seem to point to a release with the Gray Knights (whenever that is --Feb or March most likely), but a recent rumor elsewhere stated that the Stormraven would be available as a post-Christmas release. I'm skeptical about this however since Skaven are rumored to get their second release in Jan I believe. I'd be surprised to see them do 40k and fantasy in the same month --even if neither were "full" releases.

bulley Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'd put money on Feb - and an annoucement come dec or jan for it. There would be alot of money to be made for a storm raven release. I mean I alone will definatly pick up a few (it would be rude not to try a triple raven list!) Not to mention for my knights as well. GW already loves me (and they know I am buying a mech guard army later next year lol). I am like their little cash cow in my local store.

Warboss John Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 my reasoning would be that THEY WONT RELEASE A MODEL!!! just a crazy concept i know but from what u can guess the model would cost somthing like $60 and almost every conversion ive seen is a landraider/valkyrie frankenstien. both kits adding to about $110. so if i was in GW marketing i wouldnt release a model cus ppl r buying 2 of the most expensive kits for 1 model. just a thought?

Blood Angel Scout Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Was there a model/design for the Stormraven released in Epic? If so, would make sense if a 40K version resembled it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214319-stormraven-model/#findComment-2551370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager that for every person who has actually tried to kitbash one together, there are at least 2 to 3 people who couldn't be bothered to make there own, but who would gladly snap up two or three if there were a kit. Open it up to regular marine armies and dedicated Stormraven kit sales likely far outstrip the money GW would make off of the Valk+LR kitbashes people are currently making. Was there a model/design for the Stormraven released in Epic? If so, would make sense if a 40K version resembled it No, the Stormraven is a completely new beast. No kit (or artwork) has ever been made by GW previously --or at least nothing that was ever made public. We are in uncharted territory. That can either thrill you or scare you depending on your perspective (ei. a new kit as horrific as the Razorgor/Minotaurs as opposed to the beautiful DE stuff we've been seeing). Me? I'm waiting to see whether or not I like the design of the kit before I decide to get one or make my own.

SamaNagol Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'll buy 2 for my FTs and 2 for my GKs even if just for display Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214319-stormraven-model/#findComment-2551495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Black Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I have been holding out on making my own until I see a dedicated model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214319-stormraven-model/#findComment-2551989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
