Hi,
took a bit until I got the StormRaven started.

First of all, its based on the GW kit. A few add-ons to spare him a fate as chibi-hawk are there tough.

Changes:

- moved rear ramp to become a floor "ramp".
- rear transport platform added.
- wings horizontal.
- tail split.
- mid body widened.
- magnetic clamps and energy/data feed for the "passenger 3rd class" added.



All I need is a place for the Hurricane bolters and/or front fins.

stabilize movement with fins here ?


or place hurricane there?


or take fins and place hurricane there?


The bird himself:




May some of dakkas techpriests enlighten this humble servant of the omnissiah where the correct place of the Hurricanes is?

The stormraven is such a front heavy beast I would put the fins forward. There are so many bolters there that you could stick them almost anywhere else on the thing and expect it to hit something

underslung mine like rocket pods

@Flinty:

oh they will hit.... strafe the infantry .... since I reworked the sponsons slightly... 90° FTW.

@Brotherjulian:

Underslung weapons look a bit more sci-fi than sponsons and fit the theme of marine STC based vehicles.

For all unsure of the variant of StromRaven were talking of a few "improved by better light" pics:











Should answer any question of the general looks of the StormRaven , except: yes I keep the nose weapons, and yes there will be a turret.
But the body is done after the subject of this thread ( position of the "sponsons" ) is dealt with.

Thanks for the votes.

Decision was made and there it is:



I am off to "copy" the design with a second and a third SR.
