xPeRt Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hello Everyone I'm in quite the predicament. I have a custom Storm Eagle I have been building and all I need to finish this project is some rocket pods/missile racks for the top of the vehicle. If anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. Pictures of my project below- http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/9/13/537313_sm-Storm%20Eagle%2C%20Custom%20Storm%20Eagle%201.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/9/13/537314_sm-Storm%20Eagle%2C%20Custom%20Storm%20Eagle%202.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/9/13/537317_sm-Storm%20Eagle%2C%20Custom%20Storm%20Eagle%205%20.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280127-help-finding-adequate-storm-eagle-missile-racks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelarion Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The aesthetics are a bit different, but how about these from Forgeworld: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/rocketpod.jpghttp://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Navy/AIRCRAFT_MISSILE_LAUNCHERS.html http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/missilepod.jpg http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Navy/AIRCRAFT-MULTIPLE-ROCKET-PODS.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280127-help-finding-adequate-storm-eagle-missile-racks/#findComment-3459944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 The missile pods from the Landspeeders could work, same shape, just a little smaller.

Slyfox1990 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Whirldwind launchers would seem likely to be decently close for size?

The_Chaplain Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 As fun as it would be to see someone slap a praetor armored assault launcher missile launcher from forgeworld onto a storm eagle, I really would say the Whirlwind launchers (gw or forgeworld) or the forgeworld exorcist launcher (which is a rounded design of the whirlwind launcher) are your best bet. As lovely as the bits some others have posted are, they arent nearly the right size for the job your doing. Maybe a forgeworld tarantular turret with missiles could work, since it has a targetting array built in, come to think of it.

jimbo1701 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 What about a pair of terminator cyclone racks? The ones off the contemptor are larger still.

Grotsmasha Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Another alternative would be to get (eBay) a second set of the SR missile pods, where the Eagles Lascannons are mounted, and place them upside down on the tail. The scale would definitely be better than any of the previous suggestion. Cheers, Jono P.S. Could you please tell me where the extra wing pieces front and rear are from? I'm pretty keen to give this conversion a go.

xPeRt Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 The wings on the back are from the tail sections of the Storm Raven, and the front ones are the horizontal stabilizers from the tail section.

Cod Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I like your stormeagle conversion heaps, the wings look great! Here is something that may help, this shows the scale for the typhoon missile launchers on the roof just like where the actual stormeagle kit has theirs placed. I did this for the ETL2 recently. This was one of many tryouts I did as I just wasn't finding it easy to do at the time. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa216/cod_lover/Storm.jpg In the end I went for something a lil different by placing the missile launchers at the front, meaning I didn't have to worry bout those lil wings there, also this one has the DA cyclone launcher on the roof to show scale too. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa216/cod_lover/stormb.jpg As I play with friends they didn't mind as technically the missile launchers are still mounted on the 'hull'. Best of luck choosing which weapons to go with, your stormeagle reminds me of an x-wing, and either way it's a beast!!
