So I actually like the Stormraven kit, minus the big honking turret and intake on the top. They make it too tall I think, so I came up with this little conversion to change it up. I was originally going to use Predator side sponsons, but this way I can still use the Hurricane bolters if I want too. I might try for a low profile turret mod on my next one, or put one las cannon on each side of the Assault Ramp. Only downside is that this only works with the lascannons as I believe the plasma and assault cannons would be too wide to fit. And one last thing, do you think anyone would have a problem playing against this as the lascannons are hull mounted now instead of turret mounted? I'm clearly not modelling for advantage and the Codex doesn't say any weapons are turret mounted so I think I'm in the clear, just wanting to get Dakka's opinion.

They're already mounted. The twin linked lascannon is the double mount next to the assault ramp, similar to a Valk/Vendetta weapon setup. The typhoon launcher is in the nose instead of the multimelta.

I'm not too concerned about how people will react to it in a tournament as I don't play in any. I don't think it'll be a problem in pickup games as the only thing I'm doing is possibly nerfing myself, lol.

And Mecha, I didn't want the big turret on the bottom as it would cause the same design issues I have with it on top. I like the turret itself and will probably use it and future ones for Razorbacks. I just don't like it on the Stormraven, it makes it look too tall. If it was a little further back on the fuselage or lower profile it wouldn't bother me, it just looks too awkward where it's placed.
