yaxet Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 now from the description in the codex I assume the official model will look something like a baby thunderhawk, however i wanted something that was more ship than aircraft and this is what ive come up with. Now its only about 90% complete and i still have to fabricate some of the weaponry (ive got magnets embedded in the cheeks and in the engine pods right under the gray dot for the weapon mounts) and the air intakes are atrocious and need to be redone but i think its come together rather well. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/trip/0407000424.jpg?t=1270632671 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/trip/0407001734.jpg?t=1270684023 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/trip/0407000422.jpg?t=1270632707 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/trip/0407000423c.jpg?t=1270632740 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemal Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Think about using maybe Lego components for teh air intakes (or parts from a model kit?) - There is a nice grille piece that could look excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Israfil Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The shape is remeniscent of the Hunter Killers from the first Terminator movie. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Very awesome. It reminds me a bit of White Base, or maybe even the Albion, from Gundam. ~Ani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Awseome, I was also reminded of the hunter killers from the first terminator. The main problem with the air intake I can think of is the vent bits (i.e the plasticard bits that go across) are angled the same way as the engine bit. If they were parralel to the ground I think it would work much better. Maybe just a bit up. Also the Assault cannons just look too small, Maybe use spare ven dread ones or spare crusader bitz pack ones? They are the equal biggest in my experience. Also a scale shot of a normal tac or assault marine please ^_^ Also at the end make sure to add all the censor stuff to it (at the moment the gunners are going to have a very hard time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaxet Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Thanks for the feedback, yeah i do plan on finding some camera bits somewhere and slaping them on there, and i guess it wasnt clear from the first batch of the photos but the assault cannons i used are actually bigger than the standard gw ones (as demonstrated by the dred arm). http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/trip/0407001734.jpg?t=1270679963 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/trip/0407001734a.jpg?t=1270680128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justicar Valius Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Woh, that thing is bigger than i thought. Now the only question that remains is where does the dread go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaxet Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 well a dread almost fits in the front compartment, I would have been more accommodating but i figured the ship was big enough so id just fudge it (although i have though about converting a dread that looks like its arms fold up to fit inside) btw I havent shown it yet but i cut out a section in the back, so there are rear doors, so i guess that whole front section could belong to the dread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f74 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Looks like this model.... WIP Storm Raven I don't think this is Forge World WIP as some of the materials uses are low Quality (Thick Card and plastic tubing for lascannons!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCEET Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 It was at Games Day so definately a FW WIP. However I believe it was for release with the new IA 8 which will include the Raven Guard. It was far too small in RL to carry a dread unless it was massively scaled up. I believe it may be called the "Storm Eagle" Drop Ship. Although they will have a Raven Guard land speeder variant also.

AL. Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 i love that but it reminds me of Tau actually. Im thinking more of a Vakarie (sp) style wing may of helped? anyway im sure it will look great once your done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
