Charlo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 What formation is this? I've not seen it before - whatever it is it sounds awesome! From what I hear the Raptor is one of the best gunboats in the game bar none with all of it's anti-everything guns and being able to target different things. Word of warning though, apparently the thing is a total hell to assemble, but best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The Fire Raptor shares the same chassis as the Strom Eagle and this is slightly larger than the Storm Raven. Shouldn't be a problem with your opponent's consent. What formation is this? I've not seen it before - whatever it is it sounds awesome!

He's referring to our three Storm Raven Formation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k30r Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Yes if i buy it i can play it count as, and use the formation or play it like regular one if i need it in normal force organization :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Total hell is putting it mildly, but no matter how hard to assemble, it looks awesome and would definitely pass as a more HQ storm raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just4uCupCake Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I have a question of similar type. If I buy a Storm Eagle can I use it as a counts as fire raptor for next years ETL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yncarne Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Sure, why not? Using a Fire Raptor for a Stormraven is like grinding up filet mignon for a hamburger. You could do it, but why? Even adding a slice of a cheese (the formation bonus) doesn't make it taste better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Storm Eagle is probably a closer match for counts-as-Stormraven but if you prefer the Fire Raptor model (and might use it actually as a Fire Raptor at some point), why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Id have zero issue with this. Dont see it being a problem. Pretty cool actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have a Storm Eagle, use it as a Storm Raven with no complaints (who would complain?!) and it was a massive pain to build. Really, really put me off my hobby for a bit. You are warned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k30r Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 yeah, just i like more the fire raptor than Storm eagle even if i know Storm eagle is more accurate count as Storm raven due to transport capacity plus its hull design is similar almost, just i like the raptor more :) since the army is gonna be in Iron warriors colors :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have a question of similar type. If I buy a Storm Eagle can I use it as a counts as fire raptor for next years ETL? I think you can "counts as" a model of lower point cost, but not one of higher. Which makes sense, as then every tactical marine would count as Dante.

Father Mapple Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 As long as you're not transporting anything out of the Fire Raptor one, I'd be cool with it. I know you're supposed to do disembarking from the base of a flyer in the rules, BUT... come on. Anytime you have quad-bolters (or even the Hurricane Bolters of a Stormraven) are people moving the guns to one side to jump out or something? I'd magnetize the heavy bolters and pay for hurricane bolters on the roster sheet for the Stormraven. Then it's almost 1 for 1 weapon parity and not too confusing.

Sn4k30r Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 yeah i would probably magnetize it, H.bolters are more similar to Hurricanes ;) and i can use it maybe in 30k in the far future ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Anytime you have quad-bolters (or even the Hurricane Bolters of a Stormraven) are people moving the guns to one side to jump out or something? I think in the latest edition, the HBolters actually replace the exit doors in the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
