I was reading Fulgrim the other day, and they kept mentioning this transport called a stormbird. I didn't think much of it, it's apparently the transport that came before the thunderhawk, but I realized that the name 'stormbird' is very close to another transport that has zero artwork as yet, the stormraven.

could this be what the stormraven looks like? (obviously, the stormbird is much larger than even a thunderhawk, so the stormraven would be way smaller)

From what I understood, The Stormraven is a "flying Landraider" Whereas the Stormbird is capable of flying 100+ astartes from a capital ship into the atmosphere and then assualting a target.

there's nothing to go off of for stormraven conversions though, no art, and a paltry description. The Stormraven may share some features with the stormbird.

I've heard that the stormraven shares a greater likeness to a thunderhawk

in the BA book they talk a bit about the Stormraven, they say "... Like its larger and more established brother, the Thunderhawk, the Stormraven is an extremely versitile craft..."

so its the smaller brother of the thunderhawk, and should be quite similar.

this is what mine looks like (Scratch build)

The Storm bird was an old design in pre-heresy times, when the Thunderhawk was 'new'.
The Storm raven seems to be fitted in, as found STC , which already only a few got.

A relation isn't likely, maybe some systems are compatible, but date of production may hint at it beeing just as close as any STC is to another.
