40K converted stormtalon


 Finished assembly of my second stormtalon. Wasn't happy with the stubby wings on the original or the overall look really, so after some internet searches and acquiring some parts I set about it with the razor saw, cutters, magnets and green stuff...

 Chopped down a couple of drop pod struts to make the 'wings', inverted the engine blocks, removed the 'undertail' and fitted it on top, mounted the weapon pods under the wings and magnetised the las-cannons & missiles launcher, reduced the bulk of the assault cannon mount.

 Need to get some smaller missile launchers for my painted one, they were ok when it was by itself, but put next to the modified talon they look even more oversize than they are.

 Next on the table is the stormraven!

scenery progress - base coat & basing done

Got some basic grey on my scenery as well as some basing, made from a mix of aquarium sand and bird grit, then airbrushed some light and dark brown in patches to give some variety.

The crates/barrels still need to be done, as well as detailing the rebar sticking out of the broken walls, but they are definitely tabletop ready.
