| Badger_Bhoy |  Stormraven as Storm Eagle Proxy |
 Member Since: May 11, 2013  RK: 1 MP: 0   | Thursday May 30, 2013 8:54 PM What would you guys think of using an unmodified Stormraven as a Storm Eagle counts as?I love the Forge World kit, but it's a substantial price difference, and I don't think the Stormraven is all that bad. Of course, there is the Chapterhouse conversion kit which would make the overall look closer, but also make the price close enough that it'd be worth it to just get the Forge World kit in my opinion. Anyway, what do you guys think? |

It's far too small as standard, is about 1/2 the size it needs to be to be a storm Eagle (considering it has a very big transport capacity) and you know what some people will be like. You also need space to fit the Vengeance launcher and remove the top turret.To make it bigger for a low cost, make a plasticard extension. Costs probably 80p/£1 for a sheet of plasticard, and you can trace the extension edges using the side panels of the Storm Raven. I did that on my Chaos Storm Eagle (below). Extended the hull by about 2/2.5" and that seemed to work well, all for a low cost   Power Armoured Metal: The Slash of 40k!

Member Since: May 11, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday May 31, 2013 9:06 AM That's a good point. I don't know how often I'd actually use it to transport, more as a gunship and AA. Though as an assault vehicle, it might be good for delivering a Terminator death squad. It would certainly be able to clear the way and support better than a drop pod!General consensus seems to agree with you that an unmodified Stormraven is not a permanent solution, some say the same even of a modified Stormraven. I do really like the Storm Eagle kit. Guess I'll save up for it, maybe that'll make it easier for SWMBO to deal with! |

Member Since: May 11, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday May 31, 2013 2:05 PM Hope it helps I don't see what the problem would be if it was stretched to be the right size (unless "they"' are official model obsessives  ) . As long as you have made an effort to make it look like what it is representing I see no problem at all. If it's bigger than a Raven and has the correct weaponry, it's good in my books SWMBO?

Member Since: May 11, 2013 RK: 1 MP: 0 | Friday May 31, 2013 2:20 PM I imagine most of my meta would probably be ok with it too really. I'd like to find a size comparison between a Storm Eagle, and a Stormraven with the Chapterhouse kit.SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed, a.k.a. The Wife. |
