Could we at leat go five minutes without an oh so clever "flying brick" quip or similar? We get it: it's boxy.

And while we're at it, we could also do without the other stupid trendy nickname that has the same number of syllables and characters to type out as just calling it by it's actual release name, Stormraven. It's amazing what passes for "cool" sometimes in some gamer circles. Double and unsubscribe from this path to nowhere.

OK, henceforth, I go with "shortbus" as the nickname

No. Just no.

What about FLYING METAL BOXES!!!!

Now that's just silly. Everyone knows it's a plastic kit.

Donut!

Must resist urge to paint stormraven like a school bus for foaming at the mouth death company:p

DO IT!!!
If I hadn't come up with a good idea for converting this, I would have painted it grey with a yellow troop holder and called it the stormpelican.

Has anyone thought about putting putting an IG Leman Russ turret or a Preadator turret instead of the intake and turret?

On a related note, even if this monstrosity is ever made available for the vanilla codex it will never be possible for any Imperial Fist player with the barest shred of self-respect to field one.

Anyone know why GW is telling people to take down their SR build tutorials and blogs from the internet? Seems counter-productive...

Probably because part of the "agreement" a store is supposed to have made with GW for the Black Boxes is that you don't show it off outside of to people who came in person?

Oh, and they sure as hell aren't supposed to be selling the contents of the Black Boxes to people.

Arn't most of these "Turtorials" being posted by recipiants of Black Boxs?


I do find it curious how the local Hobbytown was able to get a Stormraven in hand 2 weeks before release.

I dunno, but quite a few of them are seemingly by people who just bought them off their FLGS or have no real affiliation with a FLGS.

Mikhaila knows how things work better, but according to my FLGS if they ever sell anything from the Black Boxes or even do anything more than a few photos to get us interested to come down there then GW will discontinue sending them the Black Boxes.

I wish my local store would sell the Black BOx items, to me.


i almost got an Iclad dreadnought a week ahead of release. i was going to preorder it and the clerk saw that they had the item in stock and was about to give it to me. the Manager was there and stopped him before he did it, but it was really close.

Just noticed that the Chibi-hawk was designed by Dale Stringer and JES GOODWIN.

Heh.

WHERE IS YOUR GODWIN NOW, GOODWINATICS!

Just means he likely handed Mr. Stringer drawings who modeled them in 3D digitally. Often enough WD has some sketches of new plastic vehicles... it will be interesting to see what this could have looked like.

What did Dale do and what did Jes do though?

Until we know that (and we probably never will), it doesn't matter!

Jes FOREVER!

In all seriousness... so?

Clearly, Dale did the Servitor and Jes did the rest.

So we have Jes to blame for the Stormraven.

Clearly!

Some interesting picts in the new uk WD, only avalable in one shop in my town.

Isn't Jes the head of plastics design production or something like that? Of course he had a hand in it, even if he didn't design the thing.

The grapple seems to weak to secure a senex antiquii and I value my dreads too much to lose them "on the move".

This needs a redesign badly and I am sure those using a "out of the box" StormRaven won't get the kit at its full potential.

We should have a StormRaven conversions Thread next month.

i agree totally

I am building and painting mine for my local FLGS. I have been painting all their preview stuff for the past few months for them to display in the shop.

I have pre-ordered mine and am trying out a few paint schemes. I like the 2 in the middle.

Nice template for paint-schemes..

Where to get?

The "med-evac" just needs a set of lights on top and a siren...

I just printed out the photo traced and put in Paintbrush. Nothing high tech. I do not have the skills that many of Dakka's Own have.

I have a hard time visualizing the bottom left one as Blood Angels, same with the middle left actually.

Middle right is definitely makin' me think Blood Angels though

Blood Angels use blue on the helmets of Heavy Support models. I agree, not the best choice.
The red and white was my attempt at making the Stormraven into the chapter symbol.

I'm aware of the Devastator Company helmet, but it just makes me think Crimson Fists, not Blood Angels

Like so...

pretty much, yes.
maybe some eyes painted on it...
But yeah.

Do one Space Sharks colours please.

Imperial Fists recolor, please.

For Devs, etc. How about painting just the central cockpit & servitor turret in the helmet color, with the rest being red? Except the DC - their SRG would be black with red trim.
