Hi All. This is a project that I just finished for a local painting contest. Although I didn't win I really had fun making this Stormraven.
In the making of this I used a few kits. I think all of you can see the Valkyrie Kit. I also used the eagle head from the Shrine of The Aquila and the "tail" comes from the Sanctum Imperialis. Lastly I used the Land Raider Crusader Pack for the Multi Multa, Assault Cannon and the flare and chaff launcher. There is also a bit of custom Plastic Card work.
I found the idea on the net and added some extras like the swept forward wings and the top turret. Personally I wanted a Stormraven that looked like it could fly and not drop like a stone. The Shrine of The Aquila eagle nose was a cool addition and the Sanctum Imperialis bits rounded the feel that it was modeled after a bird of prey.
Here is the link to where I found this conversion: [URL="http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?t=5820&highlight=Storm+raven"]http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?t=5820&highlight=Storm+raven[/URL]
You will notice that I made a few changes but the concept is credited to Kaine

Excellent. Perhaps I've seen more "ambitious" Stormraven designs, but the Angry Marine theme is awesome. I can really feel the angry vibes.
Because really, the Hive Mind just wants to make friends.

Absolutely superb. I especially love how the nose of it is modelled like a bird.
And the Angry Marine decals - priceless!
Stellar work, sir."Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse."

I'm in love with this Storm Raven. It makes me angry. I don't know why. Might be the purity of purpose in your army being angry all the time.
