I was originally inspired by the AWE Striker from GI Joe (man I loved that thing). I also spent too long looking at the conversions on Under The Couch.

The buggy is simple plasticard with four bike wheels, the crew from a landspeeder and erm, that’s about it. I’ve detailed it with a few Ravenwing parts and it’s already primed. I’m going to try out the Black Templars Contrast paint, so it’s undercoated in Wraith Bone spray.

Once the Ravenwing Buggy is completed I think I might have to move onto the Ravenwing Trikes!

My Ravenwing have been desperate for some love, I've had them for a few years now, living unassembled in a cupboard. So to make sense of what was there and what I already owned, I've come up with a plan.

Two ravenwing squads, each supported by an attack bike. That much was already planned. But one squad will be three normal bikes, with the buggy in tow.

The second squad will consist of trikes, incorporating the attack trike I'd made years and years ago. I'm really happy with how the new ones are coming together, in large owing to this great tutorial over on Bolter and Chainsword. I'd seen it ages ago, but finally got around to purloining a few parts for my trikes.

Had a chance to give my Dark Angels a proper look over, and I'm really happy so far. They're my most complete army, if I wanted to I could field about 2500 pts of painted models (not all painted well, granted) and a further 1k or so of unpainted stuff. I've also got a couple of rhinos to sort for them, and the potential of a new deathwing squad unless they go in the blood angels. We'll see.

Lots to do. Unless my Valkyrie arrives before the weekend, then I'll be doing that instead

It is as small as I could make it and still fit two powerarmoured marines side by side. Possibly I could look at a front-back combination for the next one, but I quite like this. I'm going to hang a multimelta off the rear rollbar behind the gunners head.

Loads of details to add (like giving the driver another arm!), but I'm really happy with the feel of this. I reckon it could be good when it's done.

I’m now expanding this project to include the three bikes the buggy shall support and turning it into the first of two Ravenwing squads in my army. Oh yes, it’ll all make sense in the end. Honest.
