A quick post before I'm gone off to Mexico for spring break. Painted the Void Raven to what I consider table standard. Besides the cockpit screen needing some work its almost done. Check it out:

Void Raven Conversion, part 2
The falcon arrived in the mail today, and I took a hack saw to it as soon as the chassis was built. Here is what I have got, so far, primed, and waiting to be painted:
Sawing off the wings off the Falcon according to the diagram from two posts ago, I arranged them as I had originally planned, then used left over aether sails to cover the huge slashes that are where the fins used to meet the chassis, as well as to add some dark eldar spiky-ness to it. Along with those, Extra rudders from the Raider and Jet Bike kits where used to get some ore blades on there, and two left over desintergrators form the void lances.
Whats left to do:
Cover up the hole on the roof, maybe with a plasticard tray, painted with the Kabal's insignia.
Missile racks. I'm trying to create a rack of missiles (to represent the various optional ones available to the bomber, but am struggling to find a way to keep the dark eldar sleek, bladed look while having the damn things LOOK like missiles.
Well, thats about it for today, possible pictures of a new terrain piece I have been working on tomorrow

Dark Eldar void raven/Void Dragon Phoenix conversion: Stage 1 (Planning)
I have decided to begin work on a void raven conversion, using the falcon chassis as a starting point.
The basic idea is to work out a design that will mimic the look of the Void Dragon Phoenix, a ship used by Eldar Corsairs. This will let me use it as either a Void Raven (until the plastic kit comes out) or a Forge World Void Dragon Phoenix in Apoc. games, without having to spend $120 on the damn thing.
So, we are trying to make this:
Into this:
Basic Plan:
Saw off the fins from the chassis,sand till smooth, and then, through green stuff and super glue, form wings from the fins on the side of the chassis.
See the diagram:
Cutting along the white line, the areas labeled "1" will be removed to be used as wings, while the areas labeled "2" will be the general area where the wings will attached to the chassis. From there, well, I've always been good at coming up with things on the spot. Work should begin tomorrow, if FedEx is a timely as they usually are.
