Did I read "Raven Guard Scout Vignette" in that laminated paper above?

Yes.

And to be fair, they did include that--as artwork in IA8.

I would assume it would be for any Marine army, it would send people to GW for the base kit and FW for the mini T-hawk.

Well, that looks... Somewhat familiar... Lol

Doesnt seem likely? Odd that a vehicle mod for the Stormraven would not be available to one (Of Two) army that can take Sravens currently

They're the only two Marinecolors that can take it because they're the Marinecolors that have come out since the Stormraven was conceived. Nobody cares about older colors of Marines.

It was likely be sold as a complete kit, rather than something you buy to go with a Storm Raven kit you already have.

Pffff. I'm just hoping Chaos gets it, seeing as the Stormeagle's actually a pre-heresy design if I remember correctly.

Take my money forgeworld that New predator pattern is beautiful

BA can't take the Caestus Assault Ram, so it's possible they couldn't take these, either...

BA also can't take the Lucius Dreadnought Drop Pods; but they cannot take those things for game balance reasons.

The more I look, the more I think this is a complete resin kit. There's just too much that's different between the two for it to work any other way.

I didn't know BA couldn't use the Assault Ram, I suppose the rules for that is in one of the IA books?

Have you seen the Vulture kit in its components?

It's an entire Valkyrie(I'm not kidding. It's the entire Valkyrie kit) with a few key differences:
The cockpit/engine assembly is a series of big resin pieces, and then there's a few small resin bits here and there(namely for the tail booms) to finish it out.

That apparently warrants a 16 GBP difference.

When you look at the Vulture kit v. this, they definitely do seem similar in how they are set up.

That looks, way better than the Storm Raven

I'm with the people who think it looks too "Tau". If I had to choose, I'd say I like the Raven better.

What???
The Storm Chicken looks better than that. You need your eyes checked something serious dude. really.
Storm chicken is the worst model GW has made since the Dreadfull knight. This is a serious leg up from the storm chicken. I will take two please.

A Raven Guard flier? Yes please!

Seeing the pics together in Kid Kyoto's post, I have to agree. The only piece where I can't spot any differences is the cockpit area.

The wings are plastic.

Storm Eagle looks fairly lame. Backside has an almost Tau-like appearance.

Glad GW does the infinitly superiour Storm Raven instead. Should put the Eagle right back into whatever fan-boy cellar they took it. Looks like they just kitbashed random molds they had flying around instead of actually bothering with "design" in any resemblance of the word.

if by superior you mean inferior then yes

If by inferior you are referring to all the half-assed fugly crap FW keeps churning out recently, like the Kettle-on-legs Dreads and Termies or that Tau-Stretch-Limo with wings now, while GW-main keeps going from strength to strength with each new release (cheap WoW knock-off Mandrakes aside perhaps), revolutionizing their Marine model range in particular in the most breathtaking ways, than you might have a point.

See guys I told you FW will show you guys the new flier during gamesday time period.

oh wait i said thunderhawk, nvm!

but close enough xD flier at gamesday!

BA and GK storm POS is utter garbage, least FW put out something WAY superior to that. you should be thanking them. as for the contemptor, it's clearly a preheresy dreadnought as per ALL the artwork

Maximus helmet from gladiator?

Yep and also from World of Warcraft

Seems FW has taken the pic off the site.

Hmmm....

EDIT: The pic is still there at http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/steagle.jpg However http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Home/Space_Marine_Stormeagle.html comes up as "not found".

Not quite got rid of it yet FW!

Silly Forge World. Thinking you can take something 'off' the Internet.

FW shut up and take my money!!!! That is smexy =o]

A storm eagle release from FW at this time is a bit fishy with the rumours of a new SM flyer coming from GW, it doesnt make sense that FW would cut GW's grass like that.
I call april fools joke
