The Storm Eagle project

[Polythemus]

So this is a blog for a recently purchased stormeagle assault gunship. I am not really sure how to do the paint scheme so i did some mock ups (see below). The transport capacity of this thing is twenty and dark angles (my army) can as of right now 9/28/12, only take terminators in groups of 5 (not including ICs), taking up half the total capacity with no extra units transportable. To further gum up the works its a fast attack unit, normally thought of as the domain of the Ravenwing. As of right now I have 31 terminators, as my army is set up to be deathwing. Does this mean i should make the paint scheme Deathwing, Ravenwing, or Chapter based? I need some help. take a look below and vote, and possibly leave a comment if you've got a more specific suggestion ill keep the poll open for a while as the thing isn't even built yet. Keep in mind this would not be final stage of painting as the model appears now. there would be some reentry damage and possibly some weapon damage on the eagle as well when finished, but as they say 'a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'

I would say either RW Sword, or RW red sword.

I like the idea of black ship as well.my cocern is that it will makeit moe difficult to add weathering detail.

I'd be a fan of green with white detail (including the chapter symbol- that :tu:'s just plain tasty), although RW black with white, or DW with red would both work

I would go with the deathwing bone white colors. Reentry damage will stand out beautifully, and it will match your army. Alternatively, I'd go with the chapter green colors, to contrast your DW termies when they assault from the vehicle.
