So here's the proposed Blood Angel's list based on my short story:
HQ: Captain Skiba: Terminator armour, Storm Bolter, Power Sword.
Elites: Terminators: Assault cannon (tempted with the Hv Flamer instead but not sure)
Troops: Tactical Squad: 10men, Flamer, Hv Bolter, Power Weapon.
Troops: Assault Squad: 10men, 2x Infernus Pistols, Hand Flamer, Power fist.
Heavy Support: Stormraven Gunship: Locator Beacon.
Troops: Death Company: 10men, 3x Power Weapons, 2x Infernus Pistols.
Heavy Support: Stormraven Gunship.
Army Total: 1500pts.
Thoughts?

Don't be afraid of the liquid GS- they shouldn't have called it that, it's really nothing like 2-part epoxy putty at all. It's just resin filler paste. Good old-fashioned Squadron Green Putty is still superior as far as I'm concerned for filling cracks (it doesn't stick to your finger)

The sticking to my finger bit doesn't bother me tbh, I feel I'm quite adept at normal GS, tis just the liquid stuff I've got to get used to lols. its useful, but a bit of a pain at the same time.

Yeah, I don't think you can sculpt a bedroll out of it, so therefore it isn't really GS to me.

Well, liquid GS sticking to your finger is really good at transferring your textured fingerprints to gak you don't want it to.

Ok, so I'm seriously thinking of building a Strormbird 40k scale...
but I need opinions...
here's my ideas so far for what a Stormbird needs:
Folding/extending wing's/wing-sections. (see HH books)
Large mount cannons. Maybe Turbo-lasers/Battle-cannons? (see HH books)
Can house at least 50 men, although I think it should be more but also maybe I can offset that against my next suggestion.
Can transport vehicles (see attached images)
Has several defensive wepons.
Has several wing mounted Hellstrike missiles.
Have I missed anything?
.JPG)
Now I want to design something boardering the original images (top two), the Thunderhawks (both troop carrying and transporter) and something of my own. I want to be as faithful as I can to the orignals, but without them looking dated, if that makes sense?
I also have been looking at the stormbird/stormraven and the Ceastus assault ram for inspiration too. As I think a lot of ideas can come from these.
One idea being Mag clamps on the under hull of the Stormbird for 4 rhino's or 2 land raiders. it is a larger thunderhawk transporter after all. But incorporating boarding tunnels that link to either the top double doored hatch on the rhino's or the rear hatch open. AS also I want it to not only transport Vehicles but Troops. it's going to be a big beast, but it should be one.
So whats your thoughts? ATM this is only in the design phase, so bear that in mind
