Got the basic body all in place, still needs a lot of styrene work to mesh the two bodies together better and to close up the nose section, Had to change the angle of the upper door on the assault ramp so I'll be filling in the gaps around it and building a new hinge housing. Assault cannons will be added under the front canard wings, one on each side.

I may remove the head light housings on the nose as it'd give it a slightly smoother profile, will be doing some thinking before I cut them free. The vents on the valk wings will be going, not a fan of the pipe/tube shape they have and doesn't match the profile of the thunderhawk wings which I want this design to mimic.

The engines aren't attached yet, just set them on top of the model for the pics. Going to have to put some thought into how to mount them as they have the weird flat side and notches by the intakes.

I may end up doing this with a Templars paint pattern, I know it's not in their codex but I have a templars army and don't want to start over with starting a fresh BA list, so I'll play my templars figures with BA rules.

Good job GW foresaw this type of thing and came up with suspensor technology

Nice work though and looking forward to seeing the next stage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288759/1478087.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288759/1478087.page GMT Stormraven
Then again, I like the kitbash.. as does the CEO of GW, he probably has this Mr. Burns pose and whispers "excellent" as countless hobbyists purchase LR and Valkyrie bits around the globe.

I also think that the top of the passenger bay needs dressing. If you had anymore engines, I'd suggest those.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288759/1481397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288759/1481397.page GMT Stormraven

I agree CadianXV, the to doesnt look great

But apart from that it looks great ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288759/1486399.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/288759/1486399.page GMT Stormraven
FANTASTIC WORK !!!! By far one of my favorite versions of the Storm Raven.

I agree with others who suggest adding a second set of engines. Brackets are already in place where the wings connect to the body.

Used an iron clad as it has two arms, normal dread kit only have a left arm. I'll be replacing the iron clads armor plates with some custom work as it looks a bit blocky for my taste. I like the slightly larger size of the iron clad and think it'll make the Furioso stand out a bit more. Only real change to the stock model so far was having off the ribbing on the right arm so it's the same length as the left.


I custom sculpted the talons from styrene and cast the parts in resin, here's a close up.

People have been requesting shots from the rear and underside etc so here they are.

Haven't gotten any significant new work done yet as I spent most of my time yesterday fussing with the dreadnought claws.

The servo arms are being held on with sticky tac, they'llbe getting a much more permanant mount once I have a chance to do some more styrene work.

Nice! but are you going to fill up the great big gap between the land raider and the valk at the bottom?


Yes.



The dread and raven claws are the shizzle. Ask Malika or chapterhouse about casting those dread claws for you, I bet they would sell!


No need for chapterhouse. I've got my own casting business, check my sig. The claws are available and already selling on pre-order
