I saw the new Stormraven pic (still posted on my local gaming sites board)
Looks like a land raider with wings.

FUGLY

Bell of Lost Souls has it too, with colour commentary in the comments section.

Among their worst models.

Here's the BoLS article:

The link to the image seems to be down, so here it is:

I threw up in my mouth a little.

Yikes!

Is it a mini thunderhawk, not liking it myself.

This is a better angle.

I thought it looked like it should ...Like a mini Thunderhawk.

Where's your pic from, Norse?

It's not the same model--no turret, no tail section...photo-shopped?

And you're right, it's better. But it would be hard to be worse.

IDK not a bad looking model.

depending on price might have to get a few and paint it proper colors for my BT air force.

Looks like the same model, but assembled with different options.
The tail fins missing on the one is the only thing that throws me off.

Personally, I'm not a big fan.
It looks to me like someone cut up a Land Raider, Valkyrie and an Eldar vehicle (for the turret) and just kind of vomited it all up in some configuration and called it a vehicle.

I FAR like the look of this for a Storm Raven:

That's the FW Caestus Assault Ram. When pics of it initially leaked online, some people thought it was going to be the Stormraven, done by FW.

Sure, there's a bit of a price difference, but...

I think the Stormraven looks like a flying dumpster. Paint the thing some suitable shade of puke green and there you go. Instead of deploying dreadnoughts it takes the wrecked ones in for recycling. :lol:

Everything else for Sm is big and blocky, why shouldn't this be?

You want pretty and esoteric, get Eldar.

OY! A low blow from the KT man. :)

I don't want it to me smooth or round; just...not complete garbage. My complaint isn't simply with its blockiness; it's with the utter lack of consideration given to the idea that it's an aircraft. The T-Hawk to me combines the necessary elements from Space Marine design sensibility with the awareness that I need to be able to believe it can fly.
