Tybrus Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 This is the first of my planned 2 speeders I will be making. It can be counts as speeder, or tempest. Sorry the pictures are not better but my camera is what it is. The History is that these 2 craft (Flying dreadnoughts if you will, pilots have been wired into crafts, but the design itself was demanded by Russ himself as his personal Close Air support. Armed with a multimelta, and a number of missiles, as well as a cannon of sorts.) Without further wasting of time... http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd492/khazzel/P8080007.jpg http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd492/khazzel/P8080006-Copy.jpg http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd492/khazzel/P8080005.jpg http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd492/khazzel/P8080004.jpg http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd492/khazzel/P8080003.jpg http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd492/khazzel/P8080002.jpg http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd492/khazzel/P8080001.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Interesting design. May I suggest adding rivets to the non-40k parts and some cabling on the belly of the craft? It might help tie those parts in with the 40k aesthestics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Interesting concept - it could very easily pass for a tempest. Wheres the donor vehicle from? The only thing I would change is the missile pod. I would either add another one to the opposite wing to balance the model or to mount it centrally - maybe above the cockpit or below the nose.

Foxmarine Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I really like it Where are the pieces from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybrus Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 The vehicle is one I got a pair of some years back, and to be honest I don't recall from where. Knowing my buying habits it had to be an Ebay purchase. The parts are from a number of different places, but a lot of them came from the Valk kit. I have one unbuilt left to make so I will post some pictures of the "Donor" vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space wolf Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Can't wait to see them painted! Finally, a flier the Blood Angels DON'T have :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamafore Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 It looks good. My only, albeit minor, gripe would be that the canopy looks too big. Like it's out of proportion with the rest of the speeder. Maybe only paint the front-most windscreens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbcBeasT Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm pretty sure that the model is called a Splinter from Old Crow Models, would be pretty cool to see a few of them in a game.Think I may have to get myself some of those and use them as counts-as landspeeders.

Alys Dwr Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I like the idea but agree with Forgotten Knight about the canopy, it does seem far to large. Maybe add some panelling to the bacsk portion of the canopy so that it looks better armoured. On the whole though i must say this is very cool.

Tybrus Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have had the same thoughts. The Cover for a LR Lascannons fits over the back windows and looks nice, Ill try and get some pictures up of it. I had been debating using it anyway this just confirms my own thoughts...
