Damn it looks great. Can't believe how smoothly you jointed the fins to the mainbody. Looking great!

[DrLove42]

That looks beautiful.

That's fantastic work, thanks for sharing

Awesome! I'm always hesitant to sand my vehicles; I always worry that the finish won't be smooth after priming, but yours looks perfect with the primer on. Interested to see how you go about mounting the weapons on with the changes to the hull silhouette.

Theres going to be a brightlance mounted under the nose, and two brightlances mounted in the weapon pods under. Theyll be magnetized so I can switch those out for Shuriken Cannons for the Nightwing variant. The other option in mind is to just leave those as engines so they arent grinding, and to use a spare waveserpent turret in the bottom middle with magnetized weapons. Think of it as a "Weapon Bubble" from like the WW2 flyers. 360 field of fire. Thoughts?

From a realism standpoint it wouldn't make sense as a bubble turret on a WWII-era plane was a defense necessity for slower and less maneuverable craft, and the Eldar are supposed to be sleekest and fastest. However, 40K rarely has a shred of realism and it would probably look awesome. It would be amazing to have another clear canopy underneath for the gunner of the turret, but I think that would make it all too bulky.
