I don't like the stock sensor so I made one. http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/Jesse-smith87/caa973f87934efe9e7ece64b1535fcda_zps480c6173.jpg

 

Built and primed. http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/Jesse-smith87/14cf87f820f7448e83a0edad4655249c_zpsccdc2fab.jpg

And that's where I'm at today.

I think the ravenwing biker bits (the angels and the skull shrine bit) are characterful and really add a lot to the piece.  I just don't know about the weapon placement.  As it is now, the landspeeder will have to spin around like a top to get all the gunfire off- or make a straightline towards every target.  I'll reserve judgement until I see the Sammael conversion and whatever goodies you have planned left.

 

I'm generally not one for massive amounts of purity seals- but a DA icon on the small wings, and maybe some seals might add some "pop".

. As far as the weapon placement, I didn't think it would be a problem. If we are looking for realism then we can assume that a well trained army would have a understanding of sectors of fire, which would prevent the leader from spinning around like a top. I do appreciate the imput though :D

All done on this for now. So I give you, my take on master of ravenwing on a land speeder. http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/Jesse-smith87/e73dafd5421a114770fc3069ed7f5e70_zps4bab5de7.jpg http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/Jesse-smith87/6f247e6164f96554f5fc0e03c03d9735_zps2663d65d.jpg http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/Jesse-smith87/9b8699a418f1d453b599f5b0a8318f01_zps10105b5d.jpg http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/Jesse-smith87/b92e07a3ab575e87d044666b0b06e092_zps979ff4a5.jpg. So what do y'all think? I didn't get a whole lot of input along the way.

I think it's a really neat conversion, and the GS work really helps to make it look more 'Sammy' than any other attempt I've seen. Major crit would be the angling of the speeder currently, imho he looks like he's about to hit the dirt considering the speed those things are meant to travel at. All told though, I like it. I think you should try and do a bit of work to highlight up the black, using a dark grey just to help lift it a bit more too.

 

Hope that doesn't sound too critical, I'd just think with a few tweaks and a couple more hours brush time it could be a whole lot better.

I like your take on this LS and the choice of bits too... My only complain is the gunner shooting a bolter while grabbing the handle bar... He looks silly... Instead i would get rid of the gun rail and made another blast shield like the one in front of Sammael and made him like he was manning the weapons thru a remote control like some kind of joystick and buttons...

I dont think that the choice of the Blade of Caliban is bad... In the end nobody fields RW and GW Champions with that bad rules sword so Sammael will be the only one to have that cool looking blade... ;)

thanks for the ideas! As for the angle, he's not glued on I have him like this in the pictures so it could show the most detail. That and highlighting is my weakest skill and it drives me nuts to see crappy highlighting.

. I debated for a while on what to have the gunner do and I couldn't find anything I had that would look right. The joystick idea sounds cool.
