All that was missing was a repaint and some sort of flamer to count as the Baleflamer the Heldrake has.

I went with the Flamerstorm barrel from the Baal Predator kit. Found it online for £3.00 including postage.

As you can see it slots nicely between the 2 autocannons on the FW model.
There is also plenty of space to magnetise the weapons if you want to (i didnt as i am poor and, more importantly, lazy)

Once you have the parts it is a really quick conversion. it took me about 6 hours over 3 nights but only becasue I had to repaint the model as well. The actual turret was painted and pinned in place within a couple of hours (most of that was allowing washes to dry)

Anyway, pics:

The conversion is simple, effective, and most importantly, looks good. Well done! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4839385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4839385.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer. WD pics, the models are more or less the same size.

I have made the flying stand so it is the same height as a normal GW one. But when i first got the model (years ago) the currect flying stand didnt exist.

The stand is a perspex rod stuck in a base of plaster (moulded in a tuna tin of all things!).

i've got a pic of it next to a Nightscythe somewhere, i'll see if i can post it as well for a size comparison.



EDIT: Found the comparison pic:

Yeah I was thinking silhouette/areawise, not that I'd personally care as I said. Some people are more picky than others.

Seems.... fishy! I amuse myself when tired.

Great work by the way. I'm hoping there are more conversions running around than that abomination. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4842538.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4842538.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4842554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4842554.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4842562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4842562.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4843046.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4843046.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4843068.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4843068.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer.

if i play it a few times and find that the flamer is always abetter option, then i might remove the cannons (they are only on by superglue so will just snap off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4848356.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4848356.page GMT Re:Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer. most awesome looking model in the chaos army IMO. You really need to see it in person, it is wickedly cool.

Also, it is surprisingly easy to magnetize the head to swap out the Baleflamer & Hades Autocannon. This tutorial
explains exactly how to do it. However, I didn't use 2 magnets in the neck as it is not needed.

Note: The Helldrake kit is only 2 sprues and is easy to put together. I thought the box would be filled with sprues, but it is
not the case.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4909656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4909656.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4911170.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/480456/4911170.page GMT Hellblade as Heldrake....just added a big flamer.

It's also £45 which is the second reason i didn't get it - i've had the Hellblade sitting around collecting dust for a while now.

I agree they are expensive. And when you open the box and see only 2 sprues, you have to wonder at the price......
