MrDante Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hey all, I will post more pics of this thing on Monday. I am at the Seattle GT this weekend and left the SR at home. I seriously had no idea i put the rear wing on backwards. I guess I will need to fix that or maybe not. It looks like it goes faster the way I have it! :) Mr Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shatter Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 MrDante, please be a champion and take a plan shot, a rear end shot and a shot of it lying on it's back (on a pillow or something). Oh, and post the pictures here. Thanks very muchly. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsutter Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 page 60. First paragraph...it specifically states you must be able to see its hull or turret. Ignoring, gun barrels, antennas, banner pols, ect...like it said...you must see the hull. Not the wing, not the tail, not the treads, not the smoke stack, not the spot light. Another good reason to chop the silly top turret and air intake off of the top of the vehicle. If I get one I at least want the aerodynamics of a brick, right now it is more like a cinderblock; the thing is just way too tall for my tastes.

Seahawk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 @ TheMouth: I gave you the dimensions you wanted, and it's still no good? GW says on their site it's about 10" long and about the same for wingspan. Then, by using [insert magical method here], I came to the conclusion on the hull width, though I may have been wrong; it's about the width of a dreadnought.. Now I didn't do the height, but as it's on a super flying stand anyway, I didn't think it mattered. Since it seems to, it's about twice the height of a dreadnought. So, that makes it about (l/w/h) ~10"/2.7"/4.5". Unfortunately for you, the fuselage goes all the way to the end of tail, right alongside the engines (which also push the distance out). So, you might be able to reduce it by about an inch on the length, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that the wings are not significant. Maybe the stabilizer fins, but not the main wings. I'd like to get clarity on that, especially since there are weapons mounted on them. Is that how it's ruled on the IG Valk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The valkyrie still hasn't been ruled either way yet. In their infinite wisdom, GW decided to ignore that one in the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until actual dimensions are provided its just a theorized dimensions, just like what I keep going off of. I keep wanting to think of it being the same dimensions of a rhino almost. If you wnat i could but out my autocad and do some proper dimensions then. LOLOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Theorized, but about right. I've seen it from all directions, next to vehicles, etc. And the lengths are not theorized, it's actual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great you have the lengths, but still you are going off an estimate. I am sorry you cant grasp the difference between an estimate and a hardline figure.

Seahawk Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Seriously, why is it so important to you to know the exact measurements? How could that possibly have an effect on your game? Are you making exactly sized terrain to hide it or something? Having an attitude toward helpful posts that deal in the same vagaries the rest of the game does is not very polite.

JamesI Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 you are the one that decided to continue this discussion...I am just dancing with you sweetheart. And its time for the dance to end. First, I don't want to see anymore bad porn references when discussing what shots of a model people want. Second, I see this as arguing for the sake of arguing. GW has given us approximate dimensions of the raven, and Seahawk has made his estimates of the missing dimensions. What is the point of continuing the discussion after this. If you feel Seahawk's esitmates are poor, fine, give us your own. But lets not get locked into whether or not these are estimates. Clearly they are. Further discussion over whether an estimate is an exact figure or not will lead to this thread going away. The Bolter & Chainsword promotes constructive discussion about all aspects of the Warhammer 40,000 hobby. I've seen several posts I consider to not be constructive lately. Please keep posts on topic and polite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMouth Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 all i said was his where estimates and I want exact, its rather simple. I wont submit my "estimates" because I dont want estimates. He went off about it how great his estimates where, I went along. It takes two to tango, so dont even try to put this as being all on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DV8 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Insofar as transportation of the model, it all depends on how the kit actually assembles (in regards to the wings). For example, the Imperial Guard Valkyrie can be assembled so that the wings can be removed for storage (many pin/magnetize the wings, or just use paint and friction to hold it in during gameplay). This reduces the footprint of a Valkyrie significantly so that several can actually be stored with ease in a Games Workshop case (or box). If something similar can be done with the Storm Raven than transport of the vehicle shouldn't be a huge issue. And to all the naysayers who doubted the awesomeness of the Storm Raven when the rumor pics were first released... y'all been served. That's all I have to say about that.

IronKobra Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I dropped into my local GW on my lunch break to take a look at the Storm Raven and it looks GREAT in person! Soon as I finish some of my current projects I'll be putting together a DC version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would have said your inquiry was for "STORAGE AND TRANSPORT PURPOSES" there wouldn't have been a "TANGO". IMO, if the standard 5Ws (who, what, when, where, why and sometimes how) get asked in the 1st post then we don't have to try and decipher intentions. Soooo...with that said, if we magnetize the wings we could probably get 2 or 3 inside the Monster Case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
