There is a hope for the Stormraven!

Disdainful from Capture and Control blog has posted the pictures taken during constructing his new (now finally-official) Stormraven. As so many other people, I do not like this model too much, but looking over the different construction stages, I have seen these photos:

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...

Progress Exists

Thunderwolves cavalry - post scriptum

I already have my wolf-riders, so this proposition is just a kind of twist on TWC topic. Let's use bears instead of wolves. The idea is not new but now you can just "go and buy" necessary models:

Osito 1.

Osito 2.

Osito 3.

They look a little slow, but at least one can believe now in T5 and 3+ armor save.

Send me a link to the photos, please, if somebody will  use them as TWC ...

Skaven Poisoned Wind Mortar Team

While I'm thinking who is going to win my edition of  Super Blog Chain Giveaway, I wish to show you these two approaches to Skaven Poisoned Wind Mortar Team model. One is official-though-not-yet-actually-released plastic model from new WFB starter box. The other is "fully unofficial' resin cast from the deeps of  internet's gray-commerce. The former you can already pre-order in bits services for 5 GBP apiece, the latter will cost you 16 USD (+ shipping) on "the Bay of E".

GW model ...

... and Russian counter-proposal. Enjoy!

BTW, guys at Micro Art Studio are selling Nezumi Heads Chem set, which can be interesting to further increase variation of skaven models.

Update: Following a request, I'm adding two links: auction and seller.
