So awhile ago I made the Stormraven Bellicose by adding Predator weapons to the Stormraven chassis. I also made a Datasheet for it, for use in non standard games of 40K. I also fiddled around and added some Stormraven Weapons to a Predator to make a new lead-spitter called the Reaper. I just found the model again in […]
