So, what is basically making SR ugly for me is the top intake and turret - without them the model is already OK. Sure, you can go further and try improving its wing design - a plenty of possibilities, starting from angle or placement modification to complete exchange for Valkyrie wings, this needs testing with actual model in hands.
I'm planning to extend the hull by adding Valkyrie troop compartment, which I got cheaply from US eBay. Not sure about the result (it may be too big) but worthy to try...
A lot of sites out there are advocating the removal of the dorsal turret and making modifications like these. It is interesting that so many gamers think the same way with an eye towards proportion.
ReplyDeleteWell, it still does look like a flying brick, but then again, aerodynamics in Warhammer 40,000 universe is a long dead art, while atmospheres of any kind are completely frictionless as far as aerial vehicles are concerned. Although I admit, removing the turret and lengthening the troop compartment makes the Stormraven a lot more palatable.
ReplyDeleteIt will be good to see some more Stormraven conversions as time goes on.
