Hell Talon






I have a weakness for airplanes. I think it goes back to my childhood when I made plastic Airfix kits and hung them from my bedroom ceiling. I used to try to shoot them down with a torch.

Anyway, here is my latest kitbash, a Chaos Hell Talon. I kitbash rather than buy Forge world because (i) I have a limited budget and (ii) I enjoy the challenge of making something unique.

It is not quite finished. I am still waiting for my emblems from Forge World and I have to add some bombs.

It is now in playable condition.

  1. If I'm not mistaken, that's the Jedi Starfighter is it not? Nice idea for a Hell Talon, I must say!

  3. Yes, it makes for a convincing 40K flyer even if it also looks clearly Star Wars like. For Apocalypse exactness isn't necessary, IMHO. More's the better and since most of us aren't independently wealthy conversions like this are the way to go rather than spending thousands on Forge World.

  4. That looks great. I wouldn't have known it was SW unless it was mentioned! Very convincing.
