Stormraven Leaked (Maybe)! Pants it’s F****G Fuggly!
November 12, 2010 by warzan
So after all the waiting we have a possible leak of the Stormraven (hence forth the Stormtoaster!)
BigBri's original post here: //www.beastsofwar.com/groups/warhammer-40000/forum/topic/weird-gw-site-problem/
Is it Real
For:
Looks like a genuine pic on GW studio terrain.
We have been told by an insider to expect a Landraider with wings.
Now would be the time we would expect to see it.
Against:
Holy C**P its soooooo ugly.
Could be a conversion as it lacks any really sharp details.
Did i mention it's soooooo ugly?
Post your thoughts here or video reaction as a video response on youtube
definatly not liking that looks a bit on the small side to me
I mean I guess it’s kinda in keepin with the other Space Marine vehicles … chunky and a bit silly, the problem is that unlike the tanks the WHOLE thing isn’t chunky. The wings and tail just look so flimsy and rediculous, to my mind something akin to the Tau Orca would have been more in keeping with the marine style, a landraider with 4 massive boxey jet engines, but then that’s kind a Taus thing, atleast something like the Thunderhawk which proportionatly has much smaller thicker wings/tail compared to the size of the body. Also nice to see that… Read more »
Whats wrong with it, I think, is I can see nothing actually holding the oddly-shaped wings onto the ‘body’ or holding the back end of the vehicle up.
Something more like a Valkyrie would be more suitable, or a downscale Thunderhawk.
And I have heard rumors that Grey Knights will have access to Stormravens too.
PS. BOW 2girls1cup? :O
don’t look up 2girls1cup. Some things you can never forget.
Leaked by Warseer? I think you’ll find it was leaked by me on here a good 10-15 minutes before Warseer got hold of it lol
Pants lol
Good Find Big Bri!
Next time drop us a pm matey and we’ll jump on it lol
I like it, looks exactly right to me. It is chunky and it looks like it is up to the task of carrying landraider onto the battlefield. If I had a BA army, buying this would be a no-brainer.
Nope, don’t care what anybody says, I like it.
Why didn’t they just do a beefed up valkyrie? And what effin’ use are multi-melta’s on a flyer. Rubbish. Mind you, the thunderhawk has always looked a bit daft, let’s be honest.
not that nice lookn model
It’s look like a container with wings… just too small.
Those shipping container looking things GW used to put in their books to represent a drop pod or command center….
I’d rather slap a pair of Valkyrie wings on a Land Raider then this.
Well I’m letting it soak a while in the stew pot I call a brain… initial though… they cut the front off a Thunderhawk, mixed it with Valkyrie parts but used the instructions from an Eldar Falcon to assemble it….
When I saw the model, I thought it looked funny. I don’t play BA, but this would still look hilarious on the battlefield.
Looks like it’s ready to give birth!
In the 41st millennium, airplanes don’t need to obey the laws of physics or aerodynamics. Would be totally funny if some smart-ass ran this design through some kind of physics software. Give us a good idea of how this baby would perform in the skies.
Anyway…kinda reminds me of the “Spruce Moose” plane on the Simpsons
Unfortunately the Valkyrie also dodges some of those laws.
It’s too narrow, lets be honest…and the wings are just weird making it look overall – very very silly indeed!
I’m no blood angels player but if I was I’d steer very clear of this – sorry GW, unless it’s in a “bargain bin” for £5 I wouldn’t look twice.
it looks like a tin box with thrusters attached and by the shape it looks like it will spin wildly out of control because its so fat at the front. and then explode with a satisfying crash. thumbs down!
All that anticipation for nothing..
the wings look like they came off a valkyrie
There was so much ideas comming from the internet about how guys put up “REALLY NICE LOOKING” conversions of a Stormraven. I think they would have used them. To my taste the Valkyrie is a great model and I tougth they would have made something very nice with it. Probably they were to much in a hurry. Like you said, John, they just put wings on a toaster with a lasecannon turret on and “VOILA” what the big creations groupe came with. Perhaps all the good desing ideas were used for the new Blood Angel minis. None left for this.… Read more »
It reminds me of the Fat Man atomic Bomb. Details on it are superb but I think its the shape of the vehicle that makes it kinda odd looking.
Also it just reminded me of this: http://www.dvdnear.com/images/The-Brave-Little-Toaster-Goes-to-Mars-B00009YXAX-L.jpg
=O
there was more than one Brave Little toaster movie!?!!?!
I watched that movie like a hundred times. I had no idea there was a second one!
You could put wings on a turd and it would look better than that.
if it is the storm raven and it comes out boycott it.
If thats a Land Raider its a 1st edition land raider!
It looks like a really detailed and really zoomed in Epic model until you see the marines.
One of the GW Staff guys in Belfast made his own out of a rhino and a valkyrie and it looks way better.
@tigernexus I actually really like the other marine tanks, but this one looks like a kids ‘jumbo jet’ for 0-3 year olds.
I saw that conversion in Belfast and i have to concur!
I think its cute. Me wants one. 🙂
Looks kit bashed to me I can see at least 3 kits in there thrown together, I don’t think it’s a real stormraven but just a very bad scratch build of what someone thinks one should look like.
I pray to all the gods of every universe that this is a hoax and is only a conversion. OMG if it is not. What drunken GW employee thought this up? An Ork player!
Hey even this would be an insult to an ork player. That thing needs a lot of plasticard in order to make it ork worthy!
happy to have brought it to your attention =) I have to say though that in reality I suspect most of the negative comments come from first appearances – but having looked at it several times now (and having had a night to sleep on it) I find that the main oddity is the wings, the engines after all are pretty marine styled, it’s just the wings look flimsy. As for the cockpit and turret, well despite initially not liking them myself, I find that they are in fact very reminiscent of the styling of other imperial flyers (Marauders, thuderbolts,… Read more »
it should look like this! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/4/11/97368_md-Stormraven,%20painted.JPG
well it may not look like much, but it makes a damn fine slice of toast
Frankly?
I love it. It looks fairly close to what I thought it would.
Well, I thought it would be a bit wider and longer, but one can not have all.
😉
Ok, it is not brilliant but I feel it is ok.
Don’t be afraid to stand up for liking it!!! 🙂
Some will like it others wont, but don’t be afraid to state your case here matey.
Still think its horrifying though 😉
