Jolemai Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 To be honest, my attention was initially drawn to the orange easter egg with claws coming out of the top before seeing what can only be described as a LEGO-esk Stormraven... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evicerator Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I was thinking it was a deep strike mishap that ended in a firey glop of orange eggplant death due to the person standing there with his "how do you like me now?" pose. Completely missed the Beetles tribute bus on the right. All that's missing was a logo.... http://www.indiatalkies.com/images/yellow-submarine401423.jpg what was he thinking?

Jimmy Carmine Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 what was he thinking? Maybe folk kept complaining about him having unpainted miniatures, so he gave them 3 colours to get the minimum needed just to wind them up some more. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenExxes Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've actually seen worse. Half purple, half teal. Teal! I wish I had a photo to share :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Before GW released their kit, or even a pic of it, I figured I go with a VTOL design based on an HK from the Terminator movie. I even used a Terminator Salvation HK model I picked up of ebay. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/Blood%20Angels/DSC00413.jpg Then GW released their model, and my first thoughts where 'its too stubby', although I do agree with the each to their own attitude, and will always compliment someone on a nicely built/painted model. Anywho, using GW's kit, I wanted to follow the same VTOL design path. So this was my next SR. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/Blood%20Angels/BA_SR2_10.jpg And the 2 models together http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/Khabjte/Blood%20Angels/BA_SR2_11.jpg I've had mixed reviews of them, but I am happy over all <_< CTK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Simply beautiful work. Two of the same, just different Marks. ^_^ <_< :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taranis Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Those two are great! Especially the engine mounting. They really explain without words how the contents deploy with precision! Valkyries and standard stormravens look to operate with the technique of: " Right lads! We are nearing our DZ and doing Mach 3. Jump on my exact command as we pass and pray to our emperor" Also the colours look great. I think I will be drawing inspiration for it during the next couple of months. :) Thanks for sharing.

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks for the kind comments guys :) And be my guest Taranis :tu: I made the extensions out of plasticard. But if your will to pay the extra expence, chapter house studios make a nice fusilage extension piece. Its more detailed than mine and half the work. Simply beautiful work. Two of the same, just different Marks. ;) :cuss :eek That is what I was hoping to achieve really. I knew they wouldn't look entirely alike, but I was suprised how close the two are in overall dimentions (length, hight, width, engine placement etc). Mixing vehicle variants is something I have done right across my force, so it fits in with that theme also. I do have another SR kit waiting to be built. What I was thinking for it, was doing the same as the 2nd SR, but copying the tail fins from my 1st SR instead. What do you guys think?

Taranis Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I like the "old" split tail raven the most. The tail on the new one looks very small. By comparing them its obvious. Follow your plan, you are making great models. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschenus Maximus Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 @Cain: Not sure that its my cup of tea, but it definetely is the most creative conversion of the raven I've seen yet, and the execution is very good, so kudos for that!

Cain Tiberius Kondrad Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nice clean painting darkenedsquire. I perticularly like the tear drop logo and hazards (I like hazard stripes) :P but more than anything it makes me want a plastic Thunderhawk damnit! Amen Brother....

company veteran Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 this is what i did with mine....even if its not blood angels ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 It looks great. I like the silhouette without the servitor turret. The white squares are too bright for my taste, perhaps more black/dark? I think its very nice in appearance. I'm working on my own and am seriously considering how I want my Raven assembled. Yours is great inspiration. :) Thanks for sharing, brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 that DA SR looks awesome! I really like the new positioning of the guns. With the chin mounted TLAss.Cannons and then the turrets for the HB, it definitely looks more like a gunship than a dumpster with wings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taranis Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Well, I started this thread to get inspiration to my own stormraven project. And here it is. http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/082EDAB8-orig.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/93F3580F-orig.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/9137BEF3-orig.jpg http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/ae257/Pendragi/A72CC29D-orig.jpg Thank-you all for sharing or discussing.

Zealadin Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Some very well painted and modeled SR's in this thread. I went the simple route with mine (although I painted it GK/DC themed to get as much use out of it as possible) - no top turret (ugly) turned the wings around to balance the craft a bit more, and put some of the weapons under the wings. Images not working... check out this BLOG LINKY to see my blog post with pics. I also trimmed a small amount off the bottom of the craft at the front. Its still too bulky, and I honestly think it would be cooler to model one using something a bit smaller, but just can't be bothered investing the money. If I made another I'd reinforce the wings a bit more heavily as well, since being on backwards I had to remove the pieces which they 'fit' into to reverse them.

vonny Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I really like the inversed wings, actually. together with the removal of the superstructure on top, it looks a lot more like a fighter plane this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Not to mention you're creating a more visible target. If you really want to get technical and "fit" 12 infantry inside then take a look down at your feet. Do you see any 12mm (or whatever size they are) round bases attached? Take the bases off of your guys and they fit in any vehicle they're supposed to. ;) best advise seen this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
