duz_ Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Anyone wondered how consistent GW was with vehicle scale? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 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 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 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 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. WAR and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I think they shoudl have lowered the marine crew memembers they done like that...loks so odd. But great Work so far duz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Yeh that's how they sit although he will be flanked by the hatch doors when finished I haven't glued them on yet so I can paint it easier  Agreed it does look odd though Hopefully less so when I'm done :ermm: Alcyon and WAR 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. WAR 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 ... I will freely spend CP instead of Points to get any-non Phobos, Jump Pack unit in position duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Well despite this being several hours of work doesn't seem like much Done most the highlighting at this point (during work meetings :lol: ) Now starting to get onto the other details and then will go back for touch ups I really like the new GK Steel paint Blue hue is really nice Dracos, WAR and Shadow Captain Vyper 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Ever since coming back to the game and finding a home in the Ravenspire .... I can't imagine using any of those anymore .... but dang you make that Impulsor look Boss Duz_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And GK steel is heavenly. I use it as a dry brush on my GKs over the leadblecher base color.

duz_ Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Thanks Dracos I'm looking forward to using my landspeeder again in 9th Not sure my LSS will ever be painted at this rate though :( Â Cheers war and TWH its tedious as hell but less tedious than sitting though 4hrs of meetings mostly listening :lol: WAR 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I would love to have more meetings where I can just listen. Most of them are with a small enough group that cameras are on and I can't be seen painting :( duz_, Shadow Captain Vyper and WAR 3 Back to top Link to comment 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: NiceGuyAdi, Alcyon, Jaipii and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Always fun to break up painting stints with some building There's a few other Easter eggs in there other than just the head swaps ;) That's all I have from the new box set thewarriorhunter, WAR, Jaipii and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment 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). There may be more but the captain and LT in the back are blocked/blurry. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
