Fibonacci Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 As far as size, the stormraven would be closer. If you are needing something for an Alpha legion, renegade marines or some other warband that would not have access to 10,000 years of warpforged madness, the FW heltalon is a good fit but I would take a Valkyrie, drop the weapons and add a heavy flamer turret under it some how. I think the Stormtalon is too small and the Stormraven just screams "transport" which a drake can not do. Anyway, just my own opinion. Don't let me talk you out of something you want to do.

commander alexander Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think a Dark Angel Dark Talon/Nephilim Jet Fighter conversion could work. You would just need to flesh out the wings a bit. You could even extend the body a bit if you wanted to.

Spacefrisian Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Stormtalon is closer to its size, the Helldrake looks big due to its wings, but its not even bigger than a Rhino.

If you're going to counts-as, it would be in your best interest to find a model with similar dimensions. I used a Stormtalon modified with Stormraven wings: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284848-counts-as-heldrake-models/#findComment-3552702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkagl Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Try and modify a Fantasy Dragon, Modify a Forgeworld Hell Blade, or use an Imperial Fighter. I would suggest to figure sizes and stuff and if you need to fudge some room use some plasticard.
