I'm thinking about buying my first Forgeworld model either for Christmas or not long afterwards.

I would like something that would count as being a Voidraven Bomber for my Dark Eldar army.

i don't know whether to get the Void Dragon Phoenix
or the Eldar Nightwing...

I intend to paint both of them in a Dark Eldary type Scheme

Nightwing is more of the right size than the void dragon.

From looking at the rules, the Voidraven bomber is really just an up-armed razorwing or whatever its called.

Its hard to say without something to compare scale in the pics (maybe I just missed it) but scale aside, either would look the part......Ah, just get one of each!

i got myself a void dragon pheonix at the german games day, size is comparable to a valk, although much much thinner.
and it definetely fits better, compare the wing shape and the nose shape with the picture from the dex.

No, I mean the other flyer/skimmer in the DE codex, which is based on the nightwing.

There used to be two FW DE fliers.

The Razorwing and the Raven.

The razorwing looked like a twin-pod cloud car from The Empire Strikes Back (but with extra blades and spikes).
Seems to have fallen by the failside - alongside the Gary Morley Nagash family DE.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

Eldar nightwing but only if you model it with the wings fixed back as it looks stupid with the wings out like that.

Ah, I borrowed my friends codex, the Voidraven Bomber is indeed a Phoenix (it is described as being larger than the Razorwing/Nightwing and has a pilot/gunner).

I'm going to say Void Dragon, just because I love it and I love seeing how other people paint them.

Very helpful pics guys.

I cast my vote for Void Dragon Phoenix as well. It looks perfect.
