As i said in the what do you do with leftover GS forum I am thinking about converting a guard Chopper.
Im looking for a futuristic look (anyone who has been on Frontlines: Fuels Of War. I want a drone from the game like effect) with some big Guns!
I have a budget of about £20 pounds (im too lazy to earn any(yes i am young)) any ideas of what it could look like and some bits to make it?

P.S. I have some spare guard sprues that i could use.

never played the said game. are your talking chopper like helicopter or chopper as in biker chopper?

Helicopter

what would this vehicle count as in an imperial guard force?

oh a copter...
i thought you meant something that chops IG

You don't want too futuristic (it's 40k - ww1 meets rayguns), so nothing more advanced than a AH-64 Apache.

Do you want transport or gunship?

Transport, it's either a "Hind" style chopper or a Blackhawk/CH-53 model. Count them as Valkyrie vtols (imperial armour, but there is a free 'update' to IA2 available as a download which gives most of their details on Forge World's site).

Gunship: AH-1 "cobra" , AH-64 "apache", "commanche" or several other helicopters (Eurocopter Tiger, South African Rooivalk, Russian Havok ). Count them as "Vultures" (IA IG vtol gunship).

To the OP: A picture is worth a thousand words.

Make a little effort and you will get a far better response.

Here is the chopper in question......

ok, sorry about the image but im on laptop and hard to use mover thing to cut images but maby something like it, but back tail rotor other way and somthing like valkrie style, just a thought tho

Someone on this forum did that to a valk. Search and you shall find.

Wow that does look cool.

if its catachaney, it has to be more bare and rugged...
cadianey can be more mech looking like the valkyrie...

Lol "Oh no were going down cause the extra white space weight on our tail"

anyways that looks pretty cool. wouldnt really want to be the unlucky guardsman in that thing though. Our modern day choppers are shot down by outdated RPGs imagine what futuristic weaponry would do to one of these

Thanks guys i have already started this now but i could craft some of these into my design.

Looks like the misbegotten child of a Werewolf and a Eurocopter...

GET IN THE CHOPPA ! , sorry but I had too =/
