Hints of a New Model

[Guroff]

Look what I found on the Website today.... GW article under FAQ/Errata which may be in error but reads for a White Dwarf Article for February 2011 showing the Stormraven..... I only hope this holds true cause the model looks pretty good.

 

Stormraven Model

Link not working.

Took out the extra http in the link but just loads a blank page?

OUR RUSSIAN SITE FOUND THIS FIRST. RUSSIA STRONG!!!

[Guroff]

That would be the one.... guess someone at GW got wise and pulled it down... Thanks for posting the actual picture.... I think the model looks cool.

[chaplain belisarius]

ooh! :jaw:

[Hyaenidae]

Gnarly. -sigh- Guess I'll start saving up now...

[Brother-Captain Lucius]

:jaw: YES!

[Red Fury]

It definitely looks very 'studio'. Not the best Raven Iv'e seen but I'd be happy just getting a model. I really wish it was Rhino sized instead of LR sized though for game-play. Vectored engines in the wing tips and a nose mounted MM, whats not to like right?

 

Did you see the dread in the background with the wings on the front of it? Hopefully this is TWO new models coming our way!

Finally. Looks nothing like a Thunderhawk, but we knew that already. I am not quite sure if I like or if I don't, but it is quite exciting to have an acutal model for this thing(and the dread in the background looks promising as well, as Red Fury mentioned). I think I will have to get used to the design, which is not bad, but I have imagined it a little different.

I find it interesting that I went to GW's website, just to look around for this picture and can't even get the FAQ articles to load now. Something may be wrong at their website.

[Rybnick]

I'd imagine that the site was pulled down already and that's why you can't find it on GW's site.

This blog has a great post up about the article, with full quotes from the FAQ pages.

 

-Edited to add my opinion-

 

Personally I LOVE the look and feel of the model, and think it looks pretty legitimate. As far as it's appearance that's relevant to game play it looks to be a bit taller and slimmer than a LR. Assuming it's on the same height base as a Valk, you're pretty much going to have to keep it moving for that cover save. Unless perhaps you're playing it as a gun ship and stayed way back or are playing with a lot of tall buildings as terrain.

I noticed that as well. Maybe they try to close the leak...?

Nice one Zlord

[Sir Blayse]

I noticed the problem with the FAQ as well, that was my second attempt to find it.

As for the SR, it is cool to have a model, it looks a bit box-like, but I can dig it.

Good eye on the dread, it looks like it has a deathcompany center piece if you look at it...like an X.

 

Its a mini Thunderhawk! how cute!!! ;)

 

Snorri, look at the front end of a Thunderhawk, then look at the Raven...it kinda looks like a mini-me version. LOLOLOL

I did, but I still think that only the ramp is alike to the TH, the rest is quite different. The wings look like they were borrowed from a valkyrie, for example. And still, the front is not that wide or bulky, that´s why I stick to my first statement.

Bleh.

 

Dont like this at all ;) What a pity.

[chaplain belisarius]

I fully see where you are coming from and I agree with you, and thats why I think it looks like a mini-hawk. ;)

My God(Emperor), it's beautiful. Not quite what I was expecting but still beautiful.

At first I was a bit put off by the model.. but now that I think about it, it seems appropriately Astartes.

I think I'll field it AND my Valkyrie-based SR. The Valk one can be a Mk .5 version ;)

Yeah, the front is too big and heavy looking and the wings are too far back, way out of balance. Perfectly Astartes.

[Redfinger]

Not quite what I expected, not sure if I like it...
