Stormtalon Gunship that doesn’t land on its Turret

by | Jan 22, 2020

Hello.  Are you confused like I was when you see landing gear on a precision aligned weapon system?  In case you don't remember how it is supposed to look, here is an image from miniature painters(dot) com.
Yes, it balances on the tail and turret.

As you can see my new landing gear mounts to the fixed weapon hardpoint spots and allows the weapons to be mounted on the gear itself.
I also sawed the tail off and added an extension to improve the appearance of the gunship.

You can find the files at Thingiverse.

I went ahead and gave it some quick paint so you can see the direction I am going with this.  Although the Falcons of Ruin have been seen in a brown and grey pattern camouflage, their strike aircraft and gunships are painted to match the skies over the battlefield.

Originally I had much more vertical landing gear, but I felt I could do better.

Have you made any conversions to Games Workshop kits yet this year?
Thanks for stopping by and feel free to to leave a comment.  As Ron Burgundy would say, "Keep it classy."
