I like it quite a bit! It definitely has that Space marine look and feel too it.

This is legit, it was a found in a slip up posted on the GW site. Here is the text from the page before it was removed.

Quote:
Over the next few pages, we will be taking a look at how to paint the Blood Angels Stormraven Gunship, including how to weather the vehicle and paint the interior detail. A great addition and centrepiece model for any Blood Angels army, this will be an invaluable guide to help you get the most from this fantastic kit.

Death from Above
The Stormraven Gunship is an incredibly versatile craft, able to fulfill the roll of orbital dropship, armoured transport and strike aircraft in a way that few, or indeed any, ships could hope to match. The Stormraven ensures that the Blood Angels remain undisputed masters of the skies, as dominant in the air as their troops are on the ground. Smaller and nimbler than the more cumbersome Thunderhawk Gunships, the Stormraven's compact hull and vectored thrusters enable it to operate at maximum efficiency in all but the densest terrain. A Stormraven can often be seen hurtling straight into the heart of the enemy forces, unleashing its considerable arsenal in a terrifying display of firepower, before disgorging a squad, Dreadnought, or even both, into the thick of the fighting.

On the tabletop
With its potent firepower, speed and transport capacity, the uses of a Stormraven on the battlefield are myriad, but its role of choice is as an unparalleled assault vehicle. With a huge variety of weapon options, and no less than four tank-busting Bloodstrike Missiles, both enemy infantry and vehicles alike fear drawing the attention of its guns. A transport capacity of 12 combined with the ability to safely carry a Dreadnought to battle as well certainly proves the Stormraven to be a transport vehicle of the very finest quality. This unique combination of speed, firepower and transport capacity means that a Stormraven can support any tactical preference, so there is always a place for it in any Blood Angels army.

Nick: A Stormraven will be the focal point of your army, so it's well worth giving it a lot of attention when painting it. These techniques can effectively be applied to any other vehicles in your Blood Angels army too, so keep this in mind and you will have a great looking fleet of vehicles in no time. I painted this Stormraven to match the battleforce that I painted for the Blood Angels army workshop in February 2011's White Dwarf; it's part of the 3rd Company, in keeping with the rest of the models. As a personal touch, I've weathered the model to appear heavily battle worn, but if you wish to keep your vehicle in pristine condition, skip page 6 and you'll have an immaculate vehicle, fresh as if at the beginning of a campaign.

I like that they're keeping with the "Aerodynamics? What's that mean?" approach. And has the similar clowncar philosopy. Consistency is good.

Looks like they just cut the command bridge of a Thunderhawk off, and put wings on the back. Can't say it looks terrible, though.

That...is ridiculous looking.

Though on the bright side, I think E&C's still going to buy my old-style Thunderhawks. :P

it's utter crap. I can be fixed but I wonder if there was still euphoria over the Dark Eldar when this thing got approved.

A smaller Thunderhawk would have looked so awesome and was what I was expecting, but that's just a pile of crap. Bad GW, bad...

BWAHAHAHAHA! :D

That is exactly what I thought when I saw it - "Well, at least I have a use for all my old Thunderbricks..."

Personally, it's ok. Hey if the Thunderhawk can fly.... who am I to dictate how aerodynamics in the 41st Millenium operate? :D

Who cares about aerodynamics when it's just that ugly?

It's not the aerodynamics that is the problem with this thing. Based on how big it is and what it is supposed to be able to do, it simply doesn't look like it has the fuel capacity to do it. Also, keep in mind it is supposed to be able to carry a rhino or dread or whatever under the back. Maybe the thing is longer than it appears, based on the angle, because that would go a long way toward making it believable.

That, and it looks like a professional kit bash, which I guess it probably is. I mean, all of the recognizable design details are saved somewhere as CAD files, so it wouldn't be that difficult to slap them all together.

Actually...now that I look closer...shouldn't we be able to see part of the other wing over the back?
