Well considering the Thunderhawk has a transport capacity of 30, and with what little info there is on them, a stormbird transports 50ish marines. that isnt so bad lols. considering I want mag clamps underneath for rhino transport too lols. I think when I finally write up rules for it, it'll be 50 models straight, regardless of jump packs or terminator armour.
lols, I was planning on doing an interior with it as well... so the figure case Idea was nice, but probably not for this project 
BTW, would a turret mounted Vulcan mega bolter be out of place on the top of it?

Lols, NO CARRY CASE
I'd break the damn thing for a start off, plus I really want to make an interior.... btw what do you think to a turret vulcan mega bolter on the top?
the sheer size of the thing means its going to be the size of my cutting mat... which is A2 (i think)

well...i like the idea...both...and here is my thought concerning the endeavor...
you stated that you want to make that magnetic clamp thingy for vehicles...
so why not make one build for the two needs...? built the basic shape, and then you build a "container" like structure for the troop compartment...i am thinking here starshiptroopers dropship style..:
.JPG)
only of course you have to scale and style it to the 40k universe a lot...
as for the guns...well...i am not sure if i know what weaponsystem that would be...helpful pics would be nice...
but i guess with such a big bird nothing speaks against big guns...
oh and good luck and have fun getting rid of the eyes of those creepers^^
cheers, vik

Cheers for the input Vik... I see what you mean about duel purpose, but I was planning on having a built in troop compartment that led to embarcation tunnels for the rhino's. As in the HH books, they described the troops being held in place much like a drop pods harness.
Yeah thats what I thought Dave, as I figured a vulcan mega bolter would pretty much be AA as well as AI, I will be mounting twin-linked lascannons as well, and possibly some other guns, as I also figure it'd be heavily armed.
Oh and thanks for the good luck Vik... I'm going to need it. I'm assembling in batches of 10, then greenstuffing. The order that arrived today is only 30 of 90 Termagants needed lols. then there'll be 30 Gargoyles.
Remind me why this is a good idea again please...

don´t do that...you ruin your even deskplate...! all future projects depend on an even workable surface!!!
and i think with a good and easy scheme the horde of ~gants will be a rewarding site and the time will fly by^^
i guess i need more hlepful shots to actually be of any constructive hlep here...i never read any 40k books...HH or not^^

Ah that be a bugger regarding the Stormbird... not many pics exist of them, as they never made an epic saleable one, and all other images are from Rogue Trader era, so vary massively...
Yeah I know what you mean about rewarding, I think its a solid concept, just takes a while to do lols.

Thanks Vik, I found that one a while back, he's on Dakka somewhere too. He's the manager of wakefield GW in the UK (or was at the time of making lols)
My idea of the Stormbird is a little different to that design, as all of the stormbirds successors are boxy, so I figure there will be a similar design to it.

My Marauder Destroyer only has twin-linked bolters and a minigun donkey-gun for AA defense, I think a vulcan would be good!
It'll look cool-as hell too! The housing for the Stormlord Vulcan has very recognizable Marine-vehicle angles IMHO

Yeah, thats my main problem with the original Stormbird drawings too, no Marine vehicle has curves... it's all boxy shapes.
So at least the VMB would fit the overall aesthetic ^_^

Yep, you really need to stick to the style, remember the old Haloween Costume rule: If it needs explaining...It wasn't that good of a costume to begin with

Very true indeed.
the only thing I'm planning on doing differently is the access ramps, I'm making the forward one wide like the old RT image, and there will be a rear access ramp too, for munitions/jump troops.

heh... tbh that just seems logical to me... if it's going to be epically scaled, then it needs a detailed interior. I'm looking at it from a FW perspective too.

Don't worry I'm still focusing on my Nid's... the stormbird is pipeline material, which will take a lot of designing... As I will only start to build it once I'm happy with the design
