The Dreadnought brings it from pretty cool to positively epic.

This makes me so sad that I made my original mini-thunderhawk style stormraven.

NICE

Quite awesome. Thank you for taking the time to make a tutorial for it.

Now if only vanilla marines could have a transport like that. I have 6 dreads and it would add all kinds of awesome if they were dropped off by a squad of storm ravens.

Cheers,

Very very inspiring tutorial and awesome conversion! Just one little thing that kinda bugged me a bit: why no landing gear? Seems like it would be easy enough and I dunno of aircraft that lands on it's belly. Maybe we just can't see the underside or the aesthetics don't work out with the radically altered hull?

nice work i was actually thinking of doing something similar, using the valkarie as a base, so this is a good example to get my brain juices flowin'...
though to be honest i think the back looks a little flimsy...not just the dread hauler (tho that was pretty awesome...did you mag it to hold a dread? or was there something i was missing there...) but like, the wings and all...the main body looks strong but the wing and supports look too weak to reprisent AV12 in my opinion (considering thats as strong as a dreadnought...)

I really like the look of the model, and I think the conversion is inspired.
For me, though, this looks far too IG and not Marine enough. IMO, a marine flyer of this magnitude would look more like a flying tank than an airplane.

Regardless, though, it looks marvelous and is beyond "good enough" to represent the SR.

Everywhere I'm not supposed to be.

I'm seriously half tempted to tear apart my Valks and rebuild them like this. Just awesome stuff.

If you need me, I'll be busy wiping the layers of dust off my dice.
