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.

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.

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.

Why ever would he want to do that? These flightpaths looks incredible. A bit over accented, but hey, this is warhammer.

Because straight trajectories look cool. But hey, you're right, it's his army. :angry:

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:

In my experience Whirlwinds don't have all their missiles going to one place anyway, looks good.

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.

I'm too much of a Robotech fan to want the missiles going straight I like the old semi random launch you had.

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!

Perhaps the wings fold out after the missile leaves the launcher, ala the Harpoon.
With the number of DIY marine chapters and Grand Companies of loyal pre-heresy traitor marines that seem to have got lost in the warp, it is a miracle that anyone can make a warp-jump without smashing into one of them. Those ships must be stacked end-to-end in there by now.

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,

or the bolter shell

actually then they would have a curve to their fins/stabalizers ala the harpoon, or the military tankfired standoff missile.
