crimsonhand Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Ok.... the Heldrake is beyond ugly. Worse, it doesn't fit World Eaters IMO at all... have any of you guys figured out a nice model to stand in for that?? I was thinking about using some sort of fantasy beast hybrid. I gave thought to the High Elf Phoenix with a Manticore head or something. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290571-alt-heldrake/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've seen some use Phoenixes in place of the Helldrake, but I know somebody who's been thinking of using a Hell Talon/Blade in place of the dragon. There's also conversions of the stock kit into a Hell Talon shape.

incinerator950 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Unlikely. However, given the fact there's a private firm (person really) that sells a variant of Warlord Titan, I'm sure someone probably does something.However, you're free at you're own leisure to convert, whatever. I personally love the Dragon look, I want to make a rusty vulture/Dragon look with a bit of A-10 Warthot in the mix for my conversion coming up.

Warsmith Aznable Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Maybe bits order some dragon wings and make a flying Juggernaut? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290571-alt-heldrake/#findComment-3674899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kythnos Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 There are? Is there a place that sells them It's actually pretty easy to do yourself. I think Krautscientist had some WIP shots of his conversion on this forum. You might want to check them out.

Montuhotep Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 He did. I've also seen ones that use a Zombie Dragon's wings and a Maulerfiend plasma head attached to the Drake's body. The actual body is perfectly fine IMHO, it's just the wings and the head/neck that screw it up.

Dragonkin Arenis Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 There are? Is there a place that sells them I've seen a scratch-build constructed from plasticard and greenstuffed feathers in my local GW store, but the fantasy High Elf range has the Flamespyre Phoenix, which I'm sure can be used with some minor conversion work. [EDIT] If you mean conversions using the Heldrake kit, I can't name one off the top of my head, but I'm sure you can find one here on the site easily enough, but if you mean the Hell Talon/Hell Blade, go no further than Forge World: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Chaos/CHAOS_VEHICLES_AND_ACCESSORIES/HELL-BLADE-CHAOS-FIGHTER.html http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Chaos/CHAOS_VEHICLES_AND_ACCESSORIES/_HELL-TALON-CHAOS-FIGHTER-BOMBER.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290571-alt-heldrake/#findComment-3676936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer le Boucher Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Take a SM Stormtalon and Drake Wings, put the Drake wings on the Stormtalon engines like they are positioned on the Hellblade, put some heavy flamers in place of the AC and use the missiles pods on the sides to count as " Vector Strikes". Here you have it. You can Add a skull to replace the cockpit windshield like so. http://imageshack.us/a/img528/3858/456or.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290571-alt-heldrake/#findComment-3690571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
