So this is the SR pic, leaked from the GW site by a guy who updated it on purpose:
Your opinion?

MOD edit : poll moved and pic added to this post !

**Dez**

I think we're going to go on a trip to the Discussions Forum, wheee!

It looks Orky to me. I want to loot one

**wolfshadow**

I'm still not sure why people are bitching about aerodynamics in a universe where there is counter-grav.....

**juraigamer**

So while I think it's kinda boss looking, I hate the fact that it will grace the table tops soon. I was have enough trouble with guard Valkyries, now this? Sad orks are sad.

**shrike**

So far- most votes are negative...
I think they're pretty accurate. Too much weight at the front.

**Element206**

I like it....then again it might just be the 'BA homer' in me that keeps enjoying the models we get that arent shared with other chapters!

Thats true. Thats why I am buying a 1,800 point Blood Angel army XD

**geordie09**

I'd prefer it if it was available to all chapters... otherwise I like it, it has a good chunky marine look about it!

**EmpBobo**

Looks like it would fly like a box. Without the vector jets or huge engines I'd be surprised if it flew at all. It keeps with the whole space marine vehicle aspect though I must admit I wish it looked more like the flyer on the back of Hunt for Volodorus.

Pics?

BTW if anyone gets this when it's released and convert it to look better, please do a tut.

**EmpBobo**

I do really like the look of the top turret though.

**Morathi's Darkest Sin**

I'm not a fan, but if Daemonhunters do get them, I'll probably have a couple.

They'd certainly not sway me to buy a Blood Angel army.

**EmpBobo**

Maybe one for fun depending on how much it costs.

**geordie09**

Hopefully its a prelude to the Thunderhawk in placky!

It's been said that GK will get them, and SMs will in thier next 'dex.

**fox40**

I think its great.
def gonna get 3 of those for my BA.
i hope it comes with the sponson options and def gonna magnetize it for weapon options and the dread on the back. i want to do 2 BA ones and a death company one, it will look awesome in death company colours with a death dread with blood talons mmmmmmmmmm stormraven finally.

It looks better than all the conversions i have seen cos at least it has the 4 entry points and room for the dread.

**blood reaper**

BURN IT! , HEARSY! , BURN IT! , DESTROY IT !

**fox40**

that top turret would look awesome on a razorback

**Gorskar.da.Lost**

Thing looks like it'd fly straight through a Titan. It's got one hell of a bulky front!
That means I like it, by the way.

**warsmith pyrus**

Yeah I really don't like it as the body's too short and look a little too like a small child's toy (playmobil maybe?).

But yeah the conversions i've seen look better (or the casteus assault ram) so for that I've voted to burn it.

Really the thing looks like a cube (no golden ratio there

). It may look better with a dread hanging off it but i doubt it.

I voted negative and I think at-least 50% bad votes is too many bad votes for it to be released. Not that it would change that...

In regards to too much weight at the front:

And there'd likely to be a big ol' dread attached to the back.

Actually, on that note, could a model look at all reasonable with Space for a dreadnought on the back?!

well i doubt the idea behind the construct was to drop troops into at Mach 1. Its not designed for areodynamics! Its predicated on taking heavy fire while delivering its payload.....I think the look has perfect psynergy with the rest of the SM lineup....has a look that clearly identifies it as something futuristic, yet still maintains the look of something that is composed of the finest armor the imperium can offer!

**Melissia**

Eh, it looks okay.

**HiveFleet**

I think the problem is that the engines dont look like they have enough structural integrity to actually lift the damn box off the ground. As soon as thrust is applied, they would just rip right off and go flying in different directions...

I mean, sure, its a game about space Daemons, aliens and God Emperors, but most of the designs still have a sense of realism and functionality about them...especially the imperials. The engines need to be lower, the trunk of the ship needs to be longer, and deeper at the end....conversley, they could have just made the turret to tail section bulkier, and not had that negative space there...it would have looked fine IMO then.

what a waste of a CAD team. Couldve been building Tervigons and Tyrannofexs!

**Mr Mystery**

Honestly, not sure yet.

Bits I like, bits I don't...going to be a grower one way or the other.

And as for the overall 'stubby' appearance, I shall wait to see it from other angles, as this one may not be all that complimentary.

**Space_Potato**

I threw up a bit when I saw that.

I think that says enough.

S_P

**Melissia**

Maybe it's the angle, but it looks like it's missing one half of its tail.
