Imintarested to see how the engines come out, they seem to far forward but you actually have it just right for the A-10

Very nice work, keep it up! -------------------- "I am the maelstrom of insanity within; the madness behind the logic."

All things considered, I think you should totally go for the gatling las-cannon. The 30mm on the thunderbolt is one of the most powerful guns in the air right now, and while a punisher cannon is pretty wicked, it just doesn't have what feels like a proportionate 'punch', lol. Although, the punisher DOES look a lot like it. -------------------- "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even death my die."

Well done, sir! -------------------- WIP Titan Leg Project WIP Pre/Post Heresy World Eaters Project

Group: Members Posts: 418 Member No.: 206 Joined: 17-October 05	While I agree on the armament the Destroyer is just too big - it's based on a bomber, and whil eI'd love to build one (one day!) it's not really the right size. The perfect solution would be a Vendetta with even more guns and no transport capacity Big game coming up so hope to do a bit more work on this over the next weeek - at the very least cover over the connections to the wings and a base coat -------------------- Project Log - Arctic Wolves: Marine Super Heavy, Snow Speeder, Iron Priest to Wolf Lord, and other WIPs

for that I would use the Cobra Rattler user posted image

I know someone who made a Thunderhawk out of the stormraven with the chapterhouse hull extension and some other bits. Was smaller than the FW one (which is also much bigger than the original GW metal one), but no one had a problem with it on the table.
