Shuggnuggath Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 To finish off my Deathwatch Army I have decided to add a Stormraven. I'm not really a big fan of the standard model so I have decided to do a bit of conversion work to make it more too my liking. First of all I extended the passenger compartment back by 35mm using plasticard. I wanted it to look like it could hold at least 12 spacemarines and their kit. Then I positioned the big air scoop at the back and slightly lower down, so that its a bit less prominent. I also reduced the size of the turret by ditching the servitor and opting for a more automated look, like a razorback turret. I left the tail off and split the top tail-fin in two, attaching the separate sections to the engine cowlings (like the Stormeagle). I thought perhaps folks might be interested in the unpainted conversion. Overall I'm very pleased with how it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Love it! looks much better than the standard kit. Job well done brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heronymus Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Without exaggeration, this is the best Stormraven conversion i've seen. I was looking for a way to modify my own as i really do not like the look of the original kit (turret and tail specifically). The closest thing to what i wanted i saw in a photoshopped image from way back when the Stormraven was first released, but it had some flaws that made it hard to construct in actual plastic. I will try and upload the picture for reference if i find it. I might also try my hand on replicating your idea for my dark angels if i find time (and skill...) to do so.

Shuggnuggath Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm glad you like it. It was not that difficult to do. This is the first Stormraven I have built and it only took a few hours, including the plasticard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Nice. It reminds my of Puppetswar's Thunder Crow. Just one question, where is the Dreadnought supposed to be attached? I see the winch but unless the aircraft stands on stilts it will not fit under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 I don't plan to use it to transport dreadnoughts, seems a bit undignified to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
