madscuzzy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 This is a model a long time in the making. It was originally built as a Stormraven when the kit came out, but I could never decide on a tail end, until the eagle came out... so it was modded... appropriately... At least this can be used in a marine army... *happiness!* AND YES HE SEES THRU SENSORS... it doesn't really make sense... so don't ask...XD it just looks... interesting that way...:) http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormducky/IMG_1119.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormducky/IMG_1120.jpg AND... just for fun... I seem to have had a recent obsession with duckies... http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Stormducky/IMG_1128.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254737-storm-ducky/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Storm Duck is a freakin' awesome name, second only to the epic Gabbleduck (after which I intend to name an armoured vehicle of some kind).

The_Chaplain Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 wow madscuzzy, haven't seen a thread of yours in a long while- but way to come back with a feast for the eyes! Love this storm ducky!

adeptuscustodus Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Very nice ;) Like it a lot... Only one question, why two different door sizes? Would it not look more uniform going with one size?

Desperta Ferro Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Bigger doors to accommodate jumps pack sizes maybe? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254737-storm-ducky/#findComment-3096925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscuzzy Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 when i did it way back then, i had decided to use the bigger doors... the new smaller doors are part of the eagle. This is one of those... let's make it up as we go along... designs. It does allow me the option to plonk in LR side sponsons, or any of the sort if I want :confused:.

Bigger-than-Jesus Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I like it, looks like a proper marine craft. And is it bad that the first thing I noticed in the last photo was the L5R box in the background?

madscuzzy Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thanx! Yup it is, but I don't play it... got the box from a friend. It is a good box! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254737-storm-ducky/#findComment-3097313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Mephistopheles Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 In my brain, I'm visualising a larger, multi-engined version of that as being what a Stormbird should look like. Longer, with another set of the wing-mounted vertical turbines on the front canards. The nose should be about that size, but the body should be about twice the length and half as wide again. You could have a couple of variations, one with a turret-mount like the Thunderhawk, and a missile armed one as you have here. The only downside is not knowing how big this is in comparison to a Thunderhawk makes it difficult to judge size. The Storm-duck looks fantastic though. Really nice job.

dizzy-xc Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm impressed with the model. Very nice job. But the doors irritate me. Having 2 (edit: different) sizes next to each other is quite aesthetically unappealing.

madscuzzy Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 My take on the Stormbird... somewhat... http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/ART/SB.jpg @dizzy... do understand what you mean. I really didnt want the work to go to waste, so that was a concession i allowed... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254737-storm-ducky/#findComment-3097603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 If it were my model, I'd panel over the smaller door... Or do something with them. Too awesome of a model for me not to.

Lord_Mephistopheles Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 My take on the Stormbird... somewhat... http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/ART/SB.jpg I like that more for Fulgrim's personal transport - the Firehawk? It's a bit ostentatious for a somewhat mass-produced aerial troop transport. Something similar in shape but not as pretty and streamlined perhaps?
