Hi , started in the beginning of the month with my version of a stormraven. It is still a work in progress but here are some pics.
I used 1 Land Raider Crusader and 2 Valkyrie Kits
Please let me know what you think of it for know.
Thanks.

My wallet cries...that's almost $200!!! Interesting idea with the land raider front, never seen that before!

That's almost right. But i got some extra money, so i wanted to make my stormraven a little bit special.
its an expensive conversion that's true. butt i envisioned itt like this with a purpose. do you see a dreadnought entering a planets atmosphere without protection. I dont think so. The back large hangar is for the dreadnought while in the front is meant for the 12 marines.
But thank you for you're honest opinion.
sweet conversion! cant wait to see it painted
Really nice. I love the whole flying Landraider vibe it has going on.
I would narrow the front of the hull--- right now it looks more like you slapped a landraider on the front.
It'll take some work, but you could angle the side panels toward the front, making a semi-'V' shape. At the same time, I would plasticard the back of the land raider at an angle to have it flow into the belly of the valkyries. (triangle shape)
The assault cannon looks a little just slapped onto the top. The spot on the front where the Assault Cannon normally goes--- you could shift it centered above the Land Raider Doors, and have the Assault Cannon/Lascannon/Plasma Cannon sit there. That would probably look great.
Get rid of the light fixtures on the land raider---- or at least move them to another position-- maybe below the hull? Right now the underside of the vehicle could use some sprucing up, and adding light fixtures there might work well.
Something to think about: Functionality? Could it work? Let your imagination run with that idea, you'll start seeing where things could be modified.
How are you going to do the grapples---- oppps you answered that with back hanger---- I had the same question while making my conversion--- my answer was folding wings that wrap around the dreadnought during reentry. I like your approach.
Overall, I think it is a great start, but I potentially see a masterpiece coming outta this!
