Inso Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'd definitely suggest a Corvus Blackstar. They are very simple to convert so they proxy a Valkyrie and once all the Inquisition symbols are removed, they look extremely rugged and functional :) : duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Plus, there's also the fact that the Corvus Blackstar is also just a beautiful model. I was thinking of using it as a Stormraven for my Dark Angels (fits their aesthetic more than the actual Stormraven does :lol:) Inso 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of using it as a Stormraven for my Dark Angels (fits their aesthetic more than the actual Stormraven does ) I completely agree. It looks aggressive and a bit like a 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' sort of thing :) . The Pic I posted is my Valkyrie counts as for my Astra Millitarum Squats... particularly, it's "Duh Chopper" for this little band of Predator hunters :) : Gederas, duz_ and Cadius 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 I want to kick the back out though to make a large troop area. Think like a fat Valkyrie The only thing with the corvus is its more like an attack fighter than a troop transporter.... stubby wings which is perfect valk for squats. Think elongated Storm raven with a container under the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 A bit like a Storm Eagle then? https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Storm-Eagle If you are converting a Storm Raven, I hope you lose the ridiculous turret/air intake assembly from the top. It will make the thing look less top heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 Stormraven on order... I like the corvus but I want to something like a Hercules troop carrier plane. They type of aircraft that could drop a few squads at once. Will post updates when the cutting begins!! duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I'm curious to see how you extend the fuselage. That's the biggest issue with that flyer... There is a tutorial in the wip thread I believe with stencils for the plasticard Maybe have been a Ravenguard related thread...

UltraRich Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Thanks duz I have seen that one and it looks good I'm going to go longer and wider maybe with valkerie side doors too Edited October 3, 2019 by UltraRich Inso and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I'm always looking for ways to build a decent dropship . Edited October 5, 2019 by Inso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Im still waiting for the Stormraven to arrive so I thought Id sharpen up on my building skills I had a front and back from a bastion laying around and I always had an idea for a comms outpost With a bit of plasticard here we are... just need to base on wood and paint It fits a few of them on it... duz_, Warhead01, CaptainDangerous and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The Astra Militarum flyer looks most promising. What will you name it? "Steel Raven" or "Ironraven"? "Steel Storm" or "Ironstorm"? "Mjolnir" or "Swifthammer", as it looks like a winged hammer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Ok so finally got this out together over the christmas break I want this to be a flying tank so ive the fun job of applying rivets Ive also gone backwards and forwards with what to do with the sides. Either add sponsons with heavy bolter, side doors or (what Ive decided to do) armour plates. The assumption is the back door will work for disembarking So just need a few more armour plates, rivets, drill bolters, add side doors and then a new cockpit cover (Ive got a pilot) and its onto paint!

UltraRich Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Holy cow that is pretty. I cannot wait to see the final product. Thanks.

UltraRich Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 So Ive added the doors to the side of this and its ready to paint. I want it to be a flying tank but dont know if I should paint it like my valk or go mad and do it in camo I like the angular camo that the Kashyyk droids have in starwars so tempted to try that. If I do that I cant do the panel shading that I did on the Valk though without a lot of work Any thoughts?

Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Good job on the Valkyrie. I think it looks beautiful as it is :wub:I second that. If you want a camouflaged Valkyrie, better assemble and paint another model, instead of risking the already good paint job on this one. To justify the different color schemes, say the camouflaged one is a Tempestus Scions transport, painted that way so the "glory boys" can feel "special."

UltraRich Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Evening everyone Sorry, what I mean is do I paint it like my valk or try a camo scheme on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Flying tank tooka step closer to completion One benefit of working at home is that Ive had time on breaks to work on this. Base camo done.... got the metal work to do then its onto seal and oil washes! Theres still a bit of tidying up to do on the camo. I airbrushed the green and forgot how much of a pain hand blocking colours can be! librisrouge, duz_ and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
