Fray Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hail brothers! Been out of the hobby for going on about 10 years now and now that I'm back (in force!) I'd like to set about updating my first love; my Dark Angels. To that end, one of the main things I'd like to do is update my Ravenwing to look as similar to the bikes in the Dark Vengeance set as possible. I don't think I'll have too much difficulty making the wings by the handlebars (no idea what this bit's called) but I seem to be at a loss at how to handle the banner poles... I'm not really a fan of the version included on the Ravenwing upgrade sprues and I don't relish the idea of buying another 10 Dark Vengeance bikes just to clip off their poles (I've already got 3 from the DV set and this would be far more expensive than I'd like). I also can't find anyone who has clipped off the poles and, after looking at countless bits places, it doesn't look like anyone's selling just the poles either. So, I guess my question is: any suggestions on how to go about this? Should I try my hand at reproducing them with greenstuff and some sort of moulding putty? Should I just wait and see if GW releases updated Ravenwing in the new year? Surely there are other DA players / collectors with the same conundrum... Any help or advice would be very much appreciated! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266561-updating-ravenwing-bikes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Based on the rumors, GW will be releasing a new Ravenwing set when the new codex comes out (rumors set that between January and April 2013). For more on the DA rumors, check the DA rumor compilation thread in the Dark Angels forum. As far as doing something now, you might be better of buying some new DV sets and selling what you don't want for profit on eBay.

Dvmendoza Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 They make a raven wing accessory pack to make normal bikes into RW bikes like in the Dark Vengence set. I used it to outfit my attack bikes and Chaplain on a bike. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod900139a they also sell packs of 3 raven wing bikes. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1060240 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266561-updating-ravenwing-bikes/#findComment-3246746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymirl Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I clipped all the poles off mine... I wonder if I still have them... Seriously though, breaking up DV sets can be worthwhile. You can sell the mini-rulebook and the chaos pretty easy, duplicates of the characters you can probably sell too.

Fray Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Thank you Bryan, I guess I'd missed that particular rumour somehow so I guess that, worst case, I just wait until the DA releases and pick up some bits and such. I'm not really too keen on breaking up multiple DV boxes but, having sold the Chaos portion of my own box, I'd definitely have to agree it may be a fairly viable option available to me. Dvmendoza; Thank you, but I'm aware of the Ravenwing kit. I don't really like the poles / fronts from them so that's why I was mentioning the DV style specifically. And Hymirl; thank you, I definitely agree I could probably part-out a couple more DV sets if it really came down to it.
