Quixus Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That thing looks awesome. I think it looks even better than the forgeworld model it represents. Is it supposed to be a Fire Raptor or Storm Eagle? The twin-linked assault cannons and the turbines in the rear remind me of the A-10.I think it could also use similar nosearthttp://static2.businessinsider.com/image/54b41d5aecad04b8099a4e91-1200-924/a-10-warthog.jpg NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwyrm Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That thing is so awesome, I want one! Such a nice spinoff the Fire Raptor. I'm amazed by the turrets you build - are they moving or glued in place? NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Awesome as always glad to see you back buddy. NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 That fire raptor build is 100% awesome. I'm so stealing this idea if you don't mind? NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I know I've commented on your thread recently, but my comments seem to have vanished into the aether? Stuff is looking awesome man, love the "Stahl Hagel" in particular, what a beast! NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednekkboss Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Geeeesh, get to painting already!!! Seriously, it looks flippin' awesome... as usual. I'd hate to be on the business end of that thing. Definitely going to look cool in the hex camo. NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I actually squeed a bit when I saw a new update. Welcome back man and feth, this is how to make an entrance. Autocannon's with underslung Assault Cannons, genius. NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 DSS7 - Cheers Chap! Quixus - This one is my Fire raptor a-like, glad you like it, and Rotimus my self and a few others have all built versions of the Hog in various guises, still resisting the nose art jpwyrm - Yeah the turrets move aroung the vertical and horizontal, sadly I ran out of skill to have them rotate as well Bio - Cheers Fella, and congrats! Grizzly_bear - You crack on mate, would be great to see it in Sythe colours! Razblood - And thanks to you, se is a bit of a beast, wish I could tell you about those posts but I have not a clue... Rednekkboss - I know, my train of unpainted stuff is getting rather large! Will have to get on that now that the weather has turned! SWAT - Chap, I am sorry I made you squee, sounds terrible! And the Arnament came about because I wanted to be able to portray both the Autocannon and HB load out of a fire raptor with out having to magnetise anything (or build another of the blighters!) so thought sod it, never knowingly under gunned me. Threw a load of hours at her yesterday, loads of green stuffing, filling, filing, finishing and mush work to make the turrets mor, dare I say it, "real" but access hatches for the gunners to get in, ammo hopper hatches, hydraulic lines and all the other BS, mainly rivots. Hope to get some pictures up tomorrow! Cheers all! FTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwyrm Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Really impressive work. I think I shall join your fan-club and build one for my Raptors! (but mine probably won't have moving turrets though...)I guess the main hull is elongated in the same way that you did for your count-as Stormeagle... or did you extended the hull in another way?

NightHunters Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) JP You crack on brother, hull is indeed extended in the same way as the storm eagle. Have some step by steps of the turrets I think if you need them!On to the turrets, almost there, just some green stuffing to do:Access hatch for the gunners: Auto cannon magazine hatches AC HatchesSadly had my computers robbed, so had to use links on the tablet! But updated now! Cheers allFTE Edited May 5, 2015 by NightHunters Argent aquila 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 In other exciting news, just landed 36 unmarked, on sprue, plastic squats. Bringing the total to 50. Can't tell you how un-reasonably happy this makes me! Soon to be seen dotted around Night Hunters vehicles and Imperial Guard auxiliary troops! Super yay!

Biohazard Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Great news about the squats mate, look forward to seeing them dotted about. That's gutting about the computer though. NightHunters 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 A very good evening all! After months adrift in a warp anomaly (this being the lack of computer and camera charging cable) the Hunters return! Sadly with an astonishing lack of progress, none the less, for your perusal: First paint on the Fire Raptor and what she would look like with fighter cover And gratuitous image of all the big birds In other news we worked on a cheeky librarian who is calling upon the emperor fearing souls of some fallen guardsmen to do their duty: Also started work on my first breacher squad And the centurions are based and ready for paint too! ( and yes, that head will be in the right place by then) So that is it chaps, Hopefully more regular updates going forward, of course c&c welcome. Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Cheers folks! Great to be back, it really is! Dark Apostle, it is the simplest thing in the world, plastic tubing, cut down the middle and clamped in place, a nook sanded out of it, and then a tiny piece of plastic rod as the hinge and super skinny plasti-card for the flip up and open screens. RNB, thanks for the templates, but that is quite clearly heresy and cheating by the emperor! (That and I have yet to man up and invest in a decent airbrush set up) Slowly plugging away at the firestormeagleraptor gunship so more on that soon! Cheers all!

NightHunters Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Zxyogi: Greetings you quasi heretical sausage you, when are we going to see some more of your black and yellow scoundrels? So quick update and it is a really exciting one: Fireraptor cockpits done. woo. Also took the time to work on all the position lights and landing lights. Still an offensive amount of work to do on this bird but it is actually fun again! Cheers all!
