thewarriorhunter Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) The AI model is so true to the larger version. Â I'm not sure if the Storm Eagle is too small or the Thunderbolt too large...

Dracos Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Considering they shouldn't be interacting with 40k models except in rarest occasions they could have made them the size of a Landspeeder if they wanted. Scale between Infantry and vehicles has always been abstract, why not for aircraft also. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/31/#findComment-5565045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The storm eagle maybe a tad small.  To figure out if there is a true size difference use the pilots size. We know that the pilot of the storm raven is firstborn size, but does thunderbolt Pilot seen the same size as the Valkyrie crew. If he does it might be slight creep.  Also look at the fluff for size differences:  The thunderbolt is built to be a flying tank piloted by a human. It needs to be robust, dependable, mass produced, and have multiple systems that the pilot does not need to interact with to keep it going. Bigger is better  The storm eagle while smaller and a transport for firstborn is created in far fewer numbers, and are built with marine pilots in mind. Since the marine pilot can interface with the storm eagle, smaller systems can be used allowing for smaller size but not removing its lethality.  And you suck.....so jealous that is one kit on my bucket list of 40k models I want. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/31/#findComment-5565115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one thing I've noticed with the AI line they are surprisingly close to the original FW models, just plastic more detailed and better :lol: Maybe one day we'll get plastic FW flyers :woot:  Haha I know the feeling War Let's call this one a cheap practice one and I'm still longing to get my FW one :sweat: Rather learn the hard way on this one then a more expensive one ;)   Edit  Meanwhile I've found my next hoodie :D https://m.facebook.com/warhammermerchstore/photos/pcb.162999005316868/162998768650225/?type=3&source=48 Edited July 17, 2020 by duz_ WAR 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/31/#findComment-5565255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Just finished a bunch of Scions and want something (hopefully) easy to paint next so this is up! I also finally paid for the premium version of Paint Rack so I can reference my paint schemes because I already had to search this thread as to what colour I've been highlighting my Primaris vehicles despite painting several already :facepalm: Alcyon and WAR 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/31/#findComment-5566573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcyon Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I'm stoked to see this Impulsor come to life but I gotta say, is that marine supposed to be posed that way? No arms? He looks like a groundhog popping up from that turret hatch.

Claws and Effect Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Storm Eagle looks great duz! Â I feel your pain on painting it. My Fire Raptor was just as annoying. I'm still not totally happy with how it turned out. Â Your Eagle looks way better.

duz_ Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Thanks C&E, I don't think I've seen your Raptor yet though?   Question for the brains trust: I have a Repulsor, R. Executioner and an Impulsor  Give the points cost of a Repulsor is there any reason for me to have a 2nd? Has anyone used 2?

Dracos Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Unless you competitively plan on using it to transport something that can't go in an Impulsor, then I would say no. On the other hand, competitively ...

Dracos Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Back in 3rd/4th the Rhino was one of my favorite vehicles, with the Dreads, Speeders, and the Predator.

I can't imagine using any of those anymore .... but dang you make that Impulsor look Boss Duz_ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/31/#findComment-5568615 Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Mine are usually small groups and I'm often talking but fortunately I've set a precedent for myself never to have it on :D Well finished the Impulsor! That sucker had way more detail than I expected. Definitely more effort than I anticipated when I picked it out but its done at least :D I might go back and grab the few models I didn't fully complete for the last event I had and finish them food for completeness sake. Unfortunately that means a bucket load of edge highlighting... Hopefully it's not too many models :ermm: Jaipii, thewarriorhunter, NiceGuyAdi and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324644-duz-does-rg/page/31/#findComment-5572014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewarriorhunter Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I won't spoil it but I spot three 'raveny' bits added on (excluding head swaps).
