Working on some drakes for a pre-heresy army.. Here's a picture to give you some idea of what I'm talking about.

So for flamer options I've come up with these.. Let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it.

Also, if anybody could identify the origins of the heavy flamer used in #1 & #4 I'd appreciate it. I've looked but the closet thing I have seen is leman russ heavy flamer sponsons, and those aren't quite a match.

I like #6. Is that the Flamestorm from the Redeemer?

I used the flamer from a Baal Predator for my Helldrake/Helblade conversion.

it looks nicer (IMHO) because the flamer has 2 of the "pilot light" bits so it looks a bit more symetrical.

Spoiler:

Failing that I vote for number 7

Oh, and really nice conversion as well!! Actually makes the Talon look good.

I like the baal pred's flamer as well but it's a lot harder to come by. If I go with the redeemer flamer, I'm planning to cut the pilot light and making a new one underneath with guitar wire or similar. I'm leaning towards #7 as well.
