I've been working on my Storm Wing for my Minotaur Space Marines. I have two Storm Talons assembled as you can see below:
I am going with lascannons because even though they have strafing run, I want these to hunt other flyers. I want them to shoot them down no matter what their armour is.
I didn't include the little sensor spines on their backs or their front landing treads on purpose. I like the way they look right now. If you look inside their cockpits, you will notice no pilots. I will be painting the canopies so you can't see inside and I will save the bits for future projects.
Below is my current progress on my Storm Raven:
I am going to have the landing gear up just like my Storm Talons. This one will be kitted out with twin-linked lascannons and twin-linked multimeltas.
The giant air intake on the top of the Storm Raven will not be included on my model. The turret with windows will not be on this either. I have never liked the look of those two features.
My plan is to use an automated turret on the top. I really like the look of the Forgeworld Razor Back turrets and I may go that route.
I will keep the blog updated as I work on these more.
With that being said, this weekend I will be playing at least one game at my friend's house. I want to use my Knight and he wants to try to take it out.

I am still trying to figure out how best to use the Minotaurs with their new chapter tactics. I don't know how well this list will work but it will probably work better if he is playing with Space Marines, which he may do.
I will take pictures and post something next week about this weekend.
Until then.....
This is a different friend than me, right? Just checkin' cause I got you down for the 27th.
