I've decided that my project army for the 2013 season will be a Ravenwing army. I've had a recent kick of putting LEDs in my scenery, but after seeing the Dark Vengence box with the bikers, I thought that it would be cool to have an entire army with all the lights on the vehicles actually light up. I'm sure others have done this but I wanted to try it myself. I'm hoping that the new Dark Angel codex will be out early next year so that I know how to equip my units, let alone make it more competitive. For now I'm starting on my bikes. Attached are pics of my prototype I finished this weekend. I still have some tweaking to do on it and also cover the bottom of the base where the batteries and wiring are (not to mention painting it). I can post more details if anyone is interested in what I have done.

I've left the marine on the bike unglued at the moment because there is something else that I might try. The light currently is under the driving console as well. I'm thinking of hollowing that out and putting some sort of colored cover on it to make it look like a computer screen that is on. If people have suggestions as to a good way to do this I'd love to hear them.
