57 here,Well, since everyone else is wetting their collective pants over the future release of the Blood Angels Storm Raven I thought I might as well give it a look over and give my own thoughts on it. With that said, let's get to it.
Let's get the obvious out of the way first, my god this thing is ugly. At least, I suppose it follows the line of Space Marine vehicles looking like bricks with wheels. The only two Space Marine vehicles that look good to me would be the Land Raider and Thunder Hawk (and drop pod as well, so I guess three vehicles). I originally thought that the Storm Raven would look similar to a Thunder Hawk, and I suppose it does look somewhat alike.
What surprised me was how compact it looks, considering it has the capacity of twelve Marines. It looks that it could maybe hold seven, but not eight. The Dreadnought is not a problem, but still. The turret on top and the two multi-melta ends at the front just don't look good. If they were at the sides, sure, it could work, but where they are is unnecessary.
In the end, I think you should just make one by converting a Valkyrie, because then you'll have the parts and bits necessary to make both a Storm Raven model, and one that looks good.
