I blogged about this over on Ghostlight but I thought I'd post it up here too and see if I could get some comments.

Here is a Venom that I put together last night:



What do you guys think? Should I put 6 more of these together? It honestly doesn't involve any real converting, its all just kit bashing with a little shaving here and there.

Looks good, I would make more if I were you.

its awesome. so awesome I might have stolen the idea :3 but I did give you credit for it I do think you should make more but maybe strech it out a little by repositioning the hood of the cockpit

Looks better than the one in the codex haha.

'nid parts are the secret weapon of all truely twisted converters. Make more, make many more.

I would TOTALLY do more! I would like to do some myself once I get started on my Dark Eldar army.

Model is good, but not as Venom.. More looks like DE version of Viper. (don't say that passengers stay on the wings, with really high speeds)

That look's awesome, but it justs looks like a DE viper, Mainly because it just seems to lack anywhere where troops could go, maybe even get the bar railings in the raider kid and place little side boardings on the front so at least it could seem like models could hang off the side?

But that's basically what their doing in the picture :(

if you look closer at the pic in codex, you will not find any wings or turret at the back of it, and it have some kind of ramp behind pilot.
major thing with That conversion - turret. with it it doesnt feel like its not another Viper
ps. i can understand for no ramp or something to grip, because of somekind of magnetized platform.. but a turret?

I think mounting TLSR on them wings would have been a little hard, but at l;east three guys could hold onto that /\ barrel and there's two of them so one guy to block the gun mans sight (probably has a targetting system for the pilot in the grimdark) and two holding the barrels!

Simply way already shown - guns under the nose of the model.

Stole my idea!

Yeah I was apprehensive of putting the turret on there, but everything I put without the turret looked to plain.

For those of you that find it hard to believe Dark Eldar could hold onto the wings during flight, go check out:

Dark Eldar hellions
Wood Elf Warhawk Riders
Wood Elf Dragon Riders
Dark Eldar Raiders (specifically the gunner who is standing and the driver who is standing)
Tzeentch Disc riders
etc

This is a fantasy setting, in a game where Ork Tech works because they believe it to work, I think my Dark Eldar could easily ride upon the wings of victory.
