Legiocustodes Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 So after the sheer joy of last week’s Storm Talon Gunship I decided to go one better and do its big cousin in the form of a mighty Storm Raven. I’ve completed one of these models previously for my Crimson Fists army and as such I am well aware of what a potent unit the Storm Raven is on the tabletop. ...However I had forgotten what a huge model this actually is (especially when compared to the much smaller Storm Talon). It really is quite a substantial metal beast. I decided to load it up with as many guns as possible in order to increase its overall lethality on the battlefield. Twin plasma cannons, Storm Strike missiles, Typhoon Missile launchers and hurricane bolters should put down most units in the game quite swiftly. Modelling-wise this was an absolute treat to paint, I really enjoyed both the assembly and the painting stages of this project. I also took great pains to ensure that the weathering was just right. Overall I am really pleased with how this model has come out. I think the red and black colour scheme is particularly striking and suits the angles and shape of the model. I can’t wait to use this absolute monster to deliver Gabriel Seth and his favoured retinue deep into the heart of the enemy. There’s a fair bit more hobby related goodness on my blog at: http://classicastartes.blogspot.com/2019/09/blog-post.html?m=1 sockwithaticket, Azaiel, Klod and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLOODSAINT Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This is NICE! I especially like how you didn't go crazy with the scratches. Just enough to look like its seen some action! This looks like its right out of the catalogue. jeremy1391 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockwithaticket Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 The application of the FT scheme, where to place the red, is very good. Always impressed by transfers being so seamlessly applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
