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.

You will notice that I made a few changes but the concept is credited to Kaine
Here are the Final Shots of "The Bird" with all the waterside transfers and weathering.
