Khrangar Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 That looks a lot better, good job. The missiles actually match the other side now and don't look like flying 'marital aids' as one person put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penitent Dreadnought Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I still wish there were something you could do about straightening their flight paths, but for a conversion on the cheap, it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamenNoodles Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 did you make the missiles or did you kit bash them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicorex Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 No they are the old Hunter killer missles from Old tank kits. The pic dosent show it well but all the missles are going the same direction now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artimis Vergadin Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 For the love of all that is good and holy straighten them! Seriously it would make this conversion kick @$$... Artimis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuroneko Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Looks real good... I still wish there were something you could do about straightening their flight paths, but for a conversion on the cheap, it looks pretty good. Why ever would he want to do that? These flightpaths looks incredible. A bit over accented, but hey, this is warhammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Remorse Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Here just think of it as the missile correcting for movement of thier target since missiles IRL actually do this it isn't such a huge stretch of the imagination :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beornling 3.1415 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 damn, I thought those were AAMRAMS off a F-14/F-15 kit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullmaster Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 In my experience Whirlwinds don't have all their missiles going to one place anyway, looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarch16 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Very awsome, I think it would look queer if you straigthened them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolio_Displasius Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 You have improved a thing that was awesome to begin with! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicorex Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Thanka guys. Im sorry but the missles are as straight as they are ever going to be. I did get them to be looking like they are all headed the same direction though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxylplik Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I'm too much of a Robotech fan to want the missiles going straight I like the old semi random launch you had. -Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duront Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 It's good way to represent deviation rolls, otherwise Ce Bon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdogg117 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 I like this newer version much better, however I wonder whether those missiles can even conceivably fit inside the launcher; they seem too long and wide, but thats just an anal nit-pick. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penitent Dreadnought Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hey, it's not inconcievable for the fins to fold up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Perhaps the wings fold out after the missile leaves the launcher, ala the Harpoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lieutenant L Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thats a very nice conversion - I like it alot :) The missiles are from the old imperial guard tank sprue - they are what were used on hunter missiles ( in case anyone was curious as to what they were ) Mind me asking where the actual flame / fire thing came from ? As for straightening - ordnance isnt always accurate ^_^ But - you could model smoke onto the rear of each missile then use that as a cover up for straitening up the missiles - but i dont think that is really needed as it looks good thanks, L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicorex Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 Who said anything about the ordnance being accurate? Want to know something funny. I have Used this WW in 3 games now, Out of the 11 times I have shot it, I have hit what I was aiming at 9 of those times! hehehehe ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beornling 3.1415 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hey, it's not inconcievable for the fins to fold up! ^_^ or the bolter shell actually then they would have a curve to their fins/stabalizers ala the harpoon, or the military tankfired standoff missile.
