Yeah, the Skyrays I picked up a while ago are painting up quite nicely. Thumbs up definately go to the FW crew for the Tau line.

Stunning material - esp. the Manta, which really does look alive. Great model, and outstanding paintwork. Nice welcome for my return from the conference in France!

Hi Guys,
I need some hlpe here because I seem to be going nowhere fast.
When I first had the Epic release list there were details of what the blister of landspeeders should consist of. Whats more I am sure that originally the landspeeders were a combination of Typhoon, Tornado and normal landspeeder, totally five models and I am not sure if it was one typhoon, one tornado then three landspeeders.
So need a confirmation there.
Secondly when I checked up on the SG website there are only five landspeeders all with the picture of multi meltas. There is no mention of Tornados or Typhoons, am I going crazy? What happened to them? Is that how they are sold nowadays?
The reason why I ask is because I found two packs of landspeeders that I wanted to paint up with exactly the contents originally stated; land speeders, Typhoon and Tornado. Does anyone else have these packs?
If so, how are they constructed? The E:A rule book pictures look different from this link:
http://www.agisn.de/html/black_templars.html
There is an assault cannon stuck on the bottom of the body of one of the speeders. When I look at all the parts only one has an extra hole to add the weapon, and on the same sprue as the assault cannon is a multi melta which looks like you can fit underneath.
On the main speeder body, when looking at it as if its facing you on the back where the rear housing is on the right side, there seems to be a little hole for som,ething to slot into, can anyone help to work out which weapons fit in? As it doesnt seem so obvious.
If anyone can help out I would really appreciate it.
I checked out

O.K. Doug, Here's as I see it: ?
I have a blister of E:A L/S.
- There are 3 model types, of the 5 in the pack. ?
- The Typhoon is the L/S with the 3 dots on the flash aft, the M/Ls mount on the flanks of that model.
- There are 3 dots on the M/L sprue. Plus glue a weapon of your choice in front of the gunner and this is the same on all L/S models.
- The Tornado is the L/S with 2 dots on the flash aft, and a hole under the front portion of the hull.
(This is called a "chin" mount with choppers) ?
- There is a sprue with 2 dots with 2 weapons which either can fit in that hole.
- And again mount a weapon on the rail in front of the gunner.
- The other three L/S only have a weapon mounted on the rail in front of the gunner. ?
- But with the extra "chin" weapon, I'll mount that on one of these. ?
Hope that helps!

It does thanks L4, I dont think I was paying attention some time ago when I clip them off the sprues for priming although I have matched the weapons from another blister.
Does anyone know if theses are still being sold as blisters containing the Typhoon, Tornado and landspeeders or has that changed?
