biglou666 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi guys, biglou here, ready to start my WIP thread for the spearhead of most of my future lists! My ultimate squad consists of : one stormraven, 5 terminators, 1 terminator captain, and 1 furioso dreadnought. Here are some pictures of the models made: Stormraven: http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab249/biglou666/Bloodangels015.jpg Converted Turret: http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab249/biglou666/Bloodangels018.jpg Terminators: http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab249/biglou666/Bloodangels021.jpg Terminator close-ups: http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab249/biglou666/Bloodangels022.jpg - http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab249/biglou666/Bloodangels025.jpg The whole elite team: http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab249/biglou666/Bloodangels030.jpg Well now i've just got to paint these bad boys!

Baal Dropout Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Very nice thing you did with the SR's turret: simple and effective :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou666 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thanks, i just couldnt stand the original turret, especially the servitor inside! So i whipped out a gun placment, some glue, and made that nifty looking turret. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_marines Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Definitely consider the idea stolen for both the turret and air dam! Initially I was going to use a FW Razorback turret, but your version is just as good and keeps with the pilot operated theme of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Gunzhard Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Did you alter the tail fin as well? ...I love the turret also btw, is that an older-razorback screen behind it? ...or the front of an old tank perhaps, I hope I have one of those lying around!

biglou666 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 yes, that is the mk1 razorback front plate on the back of my stormraven... :) ironic really, using one of the oldest vehicle parts on one of the newest... :P is anyone going to talk about anything except the stormraven?! :P also, thanks for loving my idea! i love having good ideas... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAGABOND Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 You have the same idea I do for the Storm Raven, that airtake was asked to be removed along with the silly gun capsule aswell. Nice and conversion, nice work mate :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irabrai Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Liking all of it. Out of interest, wheres the terminator sergeants sword from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Lucius Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Very nice. I do like the Termies a lot! Also to answer your question Irabrai, i believe that is the Power Sword from the Special Vanguard Sergeant. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou666 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yes, that is the vanguard sergeants power weapon :D I didnt want to take it off the metal model, but it was worth it for the terminator sergeant! Same goes for the space hulk arms that i butchered for the storm bolters! Would anyone like me to do a guide for the stormraven turret conversion? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volchek Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Would anyone like me to do a guide for the stormraven turret conversion? :devil: Ummm YES PLEASE! I have 2 Storm Ravens assembled and primed, and I'm not liking the gun turret that much, so if you could do a quick tutorial on how you constructed yours that'd be awesome. Love the Termies btw. Like the should pads a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou666 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ok, i'll put up a how-to guide, but it wont be untill tommorow :( Thanks for all the reception guys, keep it coming! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Any chance of a side by side of the SR with say a rhino? I'm wondering just how big it really is. Also cool termy conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Good looking deathstar!!! Where are the Termie shoulder pads from??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebsolom Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Very good conversion for the Stormraven turret, I'm impressed. I'm just trying how to reconfigure my turret with assault cannons and this has given me a few ideas :D . What piece did you use for the turret base? Liking the termies too, nice use of bits. Sanguinarian: The shoulderpads are from Forge World mandatory for ultimate bling B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurb Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great work. Never really thought about it ,but a Furioso with Frag cannon, Magna Grapple, and a Blood fist is a really versatile dread. Yes, please do a walk through of the turret, its excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Knights Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Very nice like the Terminators and stormraven job very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Digging the top turret on the SR. Any pics of it's design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglou666 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks again guys! didn't think that so many people would like it :( I will do a new thread tonight, with lots of close up pictures of the raven, and a guide on how to make turret, with the pieces needed, etc. @ Kurb, yes, i love that loadout on a dread, as its a beast for light infantry, heavy infantry, and tanks! it really is the jack of all trades (unless you chaseing a flyer around the board!) ive even taken out 2 landraiders with just the frag cannon before! (you just gotta love that rending). To be honest, i think that my dread is overpowered, for just 140 pts, you are getting, in a single turn, up to ~16 strength 6 attacks from the frag, 2 strength 8 shots from the magna / melta, and then 3 strength 10 attacks from the blood fist! its insane! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 vastly improvedturret and if i ever do one the turret wil be done that way. termys look nice but hurons flamer on the sarge... unless someones changed something and havent told me the sarge isnt partial to squad weapon upgrades(stupidly) though it looks coool. wondering what you did with the rest of the model...

biglou666 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hehe, i might be being a tad cheeky, but in the 'dex, it says, and i quote; 'For every five models in the squad, one Terminator can: ' replace his storm bolter with a heavy flamer .........+5pts' and so on. The sergeant is a terminator in all ways, so i interperet it that the sarge can have the nice guns aswell. It will be interesting to see what others think of this :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 though he isnt a terminator, hes a terminator sergeant. even has a seperate stats line. just like the sanguary novite in the honour guard... ust wish you were right but...

biglou666 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 I see your point, but the sergeant is still 'a terminator'. I will admit that GW should have made this clearer, but im sticking to my guns for now, if you'll excuse the pun! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corby Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I see your point, but the sergeant is still 'a terminator'. I will admit that GW should have made this clearer, but im sticking to my guns for now, if you'll excuse the pun! :D The unit itself has a different name. "Terminator Sergeant" , where as the option of taking a heavy flamer clear says: 'For every five models in the squad, one Terminator can: ' replace his storm bolter with a heavy flamer .........+xpts' So you arn't allowed such a configuration unfortunately. Also Biglou , edit out the points value. I'm pretty sure listing individual points values isn't allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highborn Mergula Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Very nice job with the turret though when you're going to paint it you cant spray. because of the windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
