Stormraven
Posted: Sat Apr 10, 2010 9:56 pm
Got a bit of a modelling bug tonight and started work on a kitbashed stormraven.
Got the basic body all in place, still needs a lot of styrene work to mesh the two bodies together better and to close up the nose section, Had to change the angle of the upper door on the assault ramp so I'll be filling in the gaps around it and building a new hinge housing. Assault cannons will be added under the front canard wings, one on each side.
I may remove the head light housings on the nose as it'd give it a slightly smoother profile, will be doing some thinking before I cut them free. The vents on the valk wings will be going, not a fan of the pipe/tube shape they have and doesn't match the profile of the thunderhawk wings which I want this design to mimic.
The engines aren't attached yet, just set them on top of the model for the pics. Going to have to put some thought into how to mount them as they have the weird flat side and notches by the intakes.
I may end up doing this with a Templars paint pattern, I know it's not in their codex but I have a templars army and don't want to start over with starting a fresh BA list, so I'll play my templars figures with BA rules.
