|  WIP Dark Angel Fellblade So, I have decided that my Dark Angels need a super heavy. My first thoughts were a thunderhawk, but I would prefer to just get the plastic kit when it comes out instead of scratch-building one. My second thought...Fellblade. Many thoughts have popped into my head so far: CoD bits, murals, assault cannons, SM bits, rivet removal, and much more. Right now I am still in the planning stages, but one big question needs to be answered. I am making a giant plasma cannon for the turret, since the DA have a long history with plasma weapons, I thought it would only be right for their Fellblade to use a gigantic plasma cannon. My question is: Should I make the plasma cannon look like the one on the FW Warhound titan OR make one that looks like the one posted. This is just something I doodled in calculus class, and I thought it looked pretty good. Keep in mind this will be the main battle cannon on a super heavy tank, and it should try and fit the "tank look." The coils are an important part of the cannon for me. Since they will be painted either "plasma green" or "plasma blue" they are realllllly going to stick out and thusly they should be modeled really well.  |

Blog Entries: 3     | I kinda like the storm blade style of turret for superheavy tanks.. And I think they sell a resin conversion kit from FW for it... If I am not mistaken.

| I just looked all over the FW site. I found the stormblade, however they didn't show any conversion kits for any of their super heavy models. I'll try and search a bit more. Thanks for the possible conversion idea though Erus! |

| The reason you havent found any conversion kits is b/c they are being made right now. After the plastic Baneblade came out FW started working on making the conversion kits they were shown at some GD though I cant remember which. Wait a few months and you can get one I bet. Baron

| Yea, I did a little research and it seems that the Stormblade is one of the conversion kits they are working on. However, the $200 price range was mentioned...which means that a plastic baneblade + a kit would be the same amount as an all resin stormblade.  |

Blog Entries: 5 | its forgeworld, they like to be seriously exstionate (hope i spelled that right) and it isnt much better over here in the UK either. however, this might not be the place to suggest this but...have you guys here at Terra ever thought about doing a bulk order? ya know, just pooling some money togther and placeing everything you want as just one order rather than just buying it seperately, saves a hell of alot on P&P. the club im with are doing on in late feb, were saving...i dunno 75 100 pounds? thats like...dont know the exhchange arte so im just hazzarding a guess here, about 150 200 dollars?? thats what you'll save, something around that?
