Xenith Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ok, I have a normal Chaos LR, and a Stormraven They aren't particularly useful to me in this form, however a Spartan and Fire Raptor seem fun. I know the raptor is a bit longer than a normal raven, and likewise, the Spartan has the front nose, but are the resin bodies much bulkier than their respective plastic counterparts? I.e. is a spartan the same size as a normal LR Phobos, minus the front nose? And same for the raptor and Stormraven? Photos would be appreciated! Thanks, Xen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Here's a picture of some models I'm currently painting. At the top, from left to right : Land Raider Achilles, Spartan, Phobos and a Sicarian in the front. In the front of this picture is a Spartan fully unassembled. Note that the side parts of the hull are giant solid chunks of resin. If you want, I'll take some better pictures :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komrk Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The Storm Eagle and Fire Raptor have a longer hull but don't really have a tail so the length is pretty much the same, but the wing width is wider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine7312000 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 So it looks like I'll be able to convert a normal land raider into a spartan.... Just need some tracks from Blood and Skulls and something to build the long nose out of. And an idea on how to do the quad lascannons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Best bet for the quad cannons is FW Rapiers, either from FW or eBay. Or if you're doing a "modern" variant like I did, you can man-handle 4 regular lascannons into position. I'll put up some pics when/if I get home tonight.

marine7312000 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Much appreciated Grotsmasha. The price for one Rapier is a bit expensive for a conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks for the input guys! Grot, that's looking good, but too rich for my blood, using the other half of a raider! I have 4 spare lascannons from my metal crusader kit that I could combine with a regular raider to get 2x quad lascannons with little effort. It looks like I'd have to make the main body about 1/2" longer, and then add about an inch on the snout. Thankfully, I think I have enough nits of tank left over from other projects to be able to give it a go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
