Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 What kind of tips do you have for modelling an avenger? I want to add one for my MT/Elysians and with forge world being so expensive, I was wondering what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 A nephilim can be be easily converted or with a bit more skill a Valkyrie can too. I think Hendrik has.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendrik Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 as scatmandoo already said it's fairly easy to do with a valkyrie kit. In fact, most of the time was just spend looking for which bit goes where. once you've got a prototype to base yourself on it's quite easy. Note that this model was made by only using bits from the valkyrie kit. here's a link to how i build her, but with some pictures forgotten since i got all caught up in buiding her instead of taking pictures at every step: http://commissar.proboards.com/thread/17647/raver-pattern-thunderbolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Paen Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 There are some pics over on Dakkadakka in my gallery of a conversion I did. It may give you some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

march10k Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/GAU8.jpg Why settle for a model? One GAU-8 Avenger! (GW: whiney snot-nosed brats when it comes to their own intellectual property, but more than willing to rip off the A-10, and name their "original idea" after the gun on the plane they copied...)

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 That thunderbolt/avenger build from the valkyrie kit is awesome. I'm going to steal that if you don't mind. I'll tweak it a little for my own tastes, but for the most part it looks like that will fit the bill perfectly. Now to get another valkyrie kit...

Brother Handro Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I de-orkified a Blitza-Bommer the week they came out. Greenstuffed the orky panels, Sentinel pilot as crew, lascannon and autocannon in the wing roots, LR Crusader assault cannon in outer wing roots as counts-as Avenger bolt cannon, Korean War paint scheme...still haven't finished it....the principle is sound tho'!

I always thought the Ork flier looked like a MIG-17/F-86 had an ugly baby... But that would be perfect for an imperial navy flier conversion.

Brother Handro Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Steal away mate! I've seen other people do subtly different things to the kit. There's WIP pics of mine on my old forum thread; http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_First_Expedition/index.php?showtopic=648&st=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 We'd be interested in seeing conversions, especially if they come with tutorials! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'll do my best. I'm probably going to start with the Avenger/thunderbolt valkyrie kit first. Since I have some experience building that kit. I probably won't attempt the ork bommer kit until I've built a couple ( have orks that need building, and they need to be increased, so I can do 2000 pts).

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 It's going to be a while before I can attempt this, since I'm a bit low on cash. So for now I'll stick with valks and vendettas for fliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
