My brand new Stormraven Gunship... inspired by/stolen from Horns great build

**CT GAMER**

This the best build posted to date. It actually looks like a model GW would produce unlike many of the ones I have seen...

**Brother SRM**

Definitely one of the best I've seen. I like the mini-Thunderhawk look a lot more than the typical hamhanded conversion, which usually involves gluing a Valkyrie on top of a Land Raider.

**FoxPhoenix135**

I agree, this is the most professional one I've seen yet. I would actually pay for one of these to be commissioned (if I had any money that is!)

**Anung Un Rama**

Fantastic work!

**slushy112**

That is awesome! Do you think GW will bring a model out for it when daemonhunters (or what ever they call it) are released?

**rwzimmerman**

Very nice! Is the hull constructed of foam core?

**Nexus 6**

Thanks!

nope its all plasticard and valkyra bitz.

I´m working on the guns... had to order some bitz

just wondering where to put the four bloodstrike missiles and the hurricane bolters... so many weapons and so little space.

**johnstewartjohn**

Really nice. Any chance of adding a tutorial?

Hurricanes => codex says sponsons sooo.....

maybe a new style of a triple TL-boltgun ( which a hurricane is ) under the small wings.

Missiles may fit onto the "secondary wings" at its back. Maybe 4 of the Valkyrie kit's missiles ?

Have to agree its a nice Stormeagle

**warboss**

very cool. it's just taken 1st place in my mind for stormraven conversions simply because it reminded me of a mini thunderhawk.

**bubblesflood**

My money is GW doing model for Grey Knights codex. With all posts about it I think they would be daft.

Still dont know whether to make one or wait. If I do make one I cant decide if to combine Land Raider and Valk or try something different like Starwars clone gun ship. Any thoughts?

Horns build blog is a excellent tutorial! it's what I used

Horn wrote:The Storm Hawk is a single Valkyrie kit, plasticard and some minor pieces sourced from Chimera and City of Death (literally just a few panels). I blogged the whole building process:

**johnstewartjohn**

Thanks,not seen that before.

**Dragonchef**

out of all of the other piles of Stormravens, i have to say i like this one. Good job!

**Gunzhard**

This is definitely my favorite raven so far...

I can't wait to steal this build also hah.

Oh - how did you do the bolts on the front window type piece?

**Asherian Command**

I love this Raven its the best ever.
Plus I want a tutorial so I can use this!

**Lextheimpaler**

Ok this is THE best stormraven i have yet to see, you sir are a legend. Should sell it off to FW

**Stump**

SCORE!!!!

Best one yet!

**Neconilis**

That thing is beautiful. I'd really like to see where you put the weapons mounts though.

**Mistress of minis**

That is an excellent piece of work. Style wise you stayed very much within the lines of the existing Space Marine warmachines.

**Major Malfunction**

As Borat would say.... "Vera Nice".

Certainly one of the best nose and integration jobs to date. Not a huge fan of the use of the nose sides for upper wings... but I can understand the desire to use as many pieces as possible. Good job at that!

I'll be stealing inspiration from this build for sure. Job's a good un!

**muppet slayer**

very nice indeed

**em_en_oh_pee**

Yea, this is by far the best one made to date.

**MDizzle**

I am about to start my own stromraven I have to say that I think yours is a work of art. You should be very proud of yourself. You must post the pictures of this Stromraven painted we Must see them! Bravo Bravo!

**Nexus 6**

Thanks guys!
Painting is under way... pictures will be posted when I have some thing to show you

Gunzhard wrote:Oh - how did you do the bolts on the front window type piece?

I cut small pieces of plasticard rod and glued them in place, fiddly work... but nothing fancy realy

**Commander Endova**

Finally. One that's more than a bastardized Valkyrie. The only thing I'd reccomend would be to reshape the wings to have a straight profile instead of a curved one.

**MDizzle**

Don't dissing all of the other storm ravens. This one is made out of a Valkyrie as well.

I think the wings look fine. If you read the fluff it says the Stromraven has many vectored thrusters and that is just what those wings have at the bottom and that is why they are curved.

**Horn**

For those after a proper tutorial, I posted my original build up on Bols for you all to have a go

**ph34r**

I like it a lot. This and the one with a mini-landraider front are definitely my favorites. It's just about as good as Horn's imo, some parts I prefer slightly and some parts seem slightly less detailed.
