Soldier of Dorn Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I'm sure most of us have seen the leaked photos of the new Deathwatch flier by now, but for those who haven't, here's a photo, courtesy of Astropate. I don't know if I'm crazy or not (actually, I think I do, but that's an entirely different tangent,) but my first thought upon seeing this thing was "Hmmm... get rid of some of the INQ icons and swap the weapons and you have a decent Lightning count-as on your hands," and I was wondering if anyone felt similarly.

marine7312000 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I can definitely see it working. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324519-count-as-lightning/#findComment-4459569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I can see it. Could work pretty well for those who don't want to shell out for FW resin (or give their money to recasters).

Chaplain Raeven Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 According to the rules of the new flyers, it's possible to change the AC's with LC's. So just change that and you have your Lightning. I might give it a try Edit: You'll have to ignore the cargobays though.

Bryan Blaire Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Depending on how those bays are constructed, it may be somewhat easy to get them off, then you just have to rebuild with a bit of plasticard. It will all depend on how fused into the fuselage those bays really are.

Marshal Rohr Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 If you're really ambitious and its modular enough you could magnetize it to be an avenger or lightning.

Petitioner's City Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 The cargo bays mean the spaces with the Inquisition sign on them? Those are doors? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324519-count-as-lightning/#findComment-4460416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

helterskelter Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 It's got a transport capacity of 12 so with some work you could have an alternative pattern storm eagle too (use whirlwind launchers etc) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324519-count-as-lightning/#findComment-4460596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a fun sort of stopgap Yeah, for a SE would definitely work. But maybe is a bit in the tiny size?

Fangbanger Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I hate the lightning model so these pleases me.. especially as it's raven guard for me next and this looks so stealthy!

Charlo Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hopefully we'll see how it relates in size to a Stormeagle or something... Would be a REALLY cool Darkwing Gunship for Raven Guard.

Reyner Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yeah it would make an ace Darkwing I think. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324519-count-as-lightning/#findComment-4461198 Share on other sites More sharing options...
