raffali Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I need two tornado for my BA army, and I wanted to make them different from all the others. So I decided to look after a new concept, with a third marine, into a turret on the top of the speeder, using the machine gun. I try first with some old speeder I had, to see if it looks good. After a little time, I reached this level http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/943/img20762no.jpg http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/7312/img20770fu.jpg http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/6996/img20788ct.jpg I know that it's not very beautiful, and not very well done, but it's only a concept, and i wanted to know if you liked it or not, before to begin the real new tornado my army needed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 its interesting, kidna weird as its a skimmer and all, a turret would throw it way off...but it looks pretty cool...i would like it more if the speeder had wheels, then the turret wouldnt look out of place in my mind, but then it wouldnt be a skimmer would it?

Seleucus Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I like the turret, but not on a speeder. Maybe as a Razorback alternative, or a Humvee conversion of the speeder, and I think I will pinch it for one of these!

Bannus Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I like the turret, but not on a speeder. Ditto. The turret looks awesome, but is waaay out of proportion to that tiny Speeder chassis. i would use the turreet for a Razorback conversion as mentioned above.

Primarch16 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 What they said really dude, it just looks way out of proportion. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1010921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
knucklehead mcspazmatron Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I reckon it's agreat idea but i think the turret is abit too bulky, maybe if you made it more of a frame like thing, like those desert patrol vehicles they have in iraq... Great idea but you need to make it look lighter and speedier. actually, looking back at it, the middle picture actually looks quite good and so would the rest if it was abit neater, so i say go for it, but probably do abit more testing first.

rat of vengence Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 *flies under a tree branch* KERTHUNK! What was that Bob? Bob? That, I like. :lol: I like the concept too mate. Tidy it up a fair bit, and run with it. You will have the only 'Raffali Pattern' Landspeeder out there. :unsure: RoV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1011142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I agree with it being out of perportion, but I think it would make a mean turret on a Baal... "Say hello to my little friends..."

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 A very interesting idea! I've seen this same turret idea on wheeled marine vehicles before, but not on a Land Speeder. Always happy to see new things pop up! Keep us updated. :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1011297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huwben Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The turret makes it a bit unbalanced but it still looks great, I recomend yoy lengthen the wings to make it look more stable.

raffali Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 because lot of people told me that i should better rework on it, i produce a brand new concept http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/8646/img20957dd.jpg http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/3261/img20969sg.jpg http://img469.imageshack.us/img469/2972/img20973qd.jpg it is really badly realized, because I just wanted to see what i could look like... Hope that you would like it better :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1015802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy_Two_Dope Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 IMHO this new concept would look so much better and realistic if you split up the heavy bolter and put it underneath the wings. It would kinda look like something out of ww2 then. Edit: And possibly fill in the back of the speeder, cause right now it just doesn't look right how the back end is just sitting up there like that.

Crushot Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Might want to abuse the right side of a Rhino to make the wings match each other. Otherwise looks rather nice Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1015893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Knight Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I would recomend bulking out the end of the speeder and maybe placing the heavy bolter someplace else, other than that i think it's really nice, way better than your first one.

Hobbes Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 because lot of people told me that i should better rework on it, i produce a brand new concept I liked the old one even the GS was a little sloppy and it was abit out of proportion it was still cool, and I have high hopes for the next one... I have a feeling we're going to be seeing alot of these minithunderbolts.. as I have received many many many PM about people wanting to use my design! the basic idea of it is nice however it needs some touching up here and there.. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1015955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Draziel Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Actually, right now it reminds me of the new tau speeders (can't remember what they're called) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1016167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffali Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 last evolutions, looking more and more to the minithunderbolt from hobbes... :huh: (thanks be him for the original idea) http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4086/img20987ju.jpg http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/2360/img20993iz.jpg http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3739/img21007oc.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87513-tornado-concept/#findComment-1016209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmato Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I think it looks unbalanced with one gun each side. Perhaps have two smaller guns either side, and say they combined fire as Assault Cannon/Heavy Bolter?
