I'm looking to replace/magnetize my Chaos/EC Fire Raptor's missile options. Forgeworld never sent the correct sprue with the missiles on them so I'm trying to figure out

1. What model's sprue does the missiles bit come on?
2. What works well for covering the new twin lascannons option? I've used the contemptor twin linked lascannons for my deredeo before exolascannons came out, but those take a long time to get here. What other options do I have?

Will post a pic of the current fire raptor in a bit is oldish wip, for some reason I don't have a finished set of images (lil toasty on 4th rn)

If you bought it from FW and have the receipt/invoice, your best bet is to simply email them and tell them that parts were missing.

Typically, they are incredibly good about missing parts.

I ordered my fire raptor in a group batch to save on shipping edit: over a year ago. The guy I ordered with never sent in the email about missing bits (rest of the order was fine). Soooo i won't be able to email them myself and would take that same mistake twice. Hence... Why I'm asking about what the bits are or what could use.

The Fire Raptor came in a bag. The batch number is printed on the bag. If you have that you can get them to give you the part. You can also just call them, they have come through for me with no info in the past.

Best of luck!

Like I said... over a year ago. Any points in the right direction as to what I could use to convert or what sprue the lascannons came on would be supes helpful.

Over a year doesn't really matter. I called in some badly miscast MK2 Assault Marines over a year after receiving them and got replacements without issue. I'd opened them, looked at the miscast, figured I could fix it but got distracted before trying. A year later I looked at them again and they were worse than I remember, so I figured I'd try dropping them an email. As long as you've got the parts and the bag with batch number they might help you out, and it can't hurt to try. Worst they can do is say no.

I'm doing a terrible job of communicating right now, there is no remaining evidence 1+ year after I bought the Raptor. Just trying to get some tips on what I could use for lascannons.

:(

The FW Aircraft-Lascannons or Valkyrie Conversion Kit might work, but you'd have the same shipping problem. Centurion Devastator Lascannons perhaps?

You don't have comminication channel to the guy who did the order in the first place anymore? He should be able to track down order number from his FW account even now.

As for lascannons howabout IG heavy weapon lascannons? Or FW vulture conversion set that comes with 3 linked ones?

You could always pick up the Light twin lascannons from Blood and Skulls, and just clip/readjust the angle on the lascannons to look proper.

You could use Anvil Industries Phase Cannons

The missiles are on the GW storm raven sprues and the lascannons are only found in the FW storm eagle kit.
Originally, the fire raptor only had options for two types of missile, now they have access to lascannons thanks to Index Astartes.

You should have recieved three sprues from the storm raven kit to build the fire raptor.
You must have recieved the missiles because you have the pilot, they are both on the same sprue.
