Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi folks I had some spare bits and hobbled this together to use as my RW Chaplin, could use some feedback :) Cheers http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/GrooTheWanderer_photos/bike16.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/GrooTheWanderer_photos/bike18.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/GrooTheWanderer_photos/bike19.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/GrooTheWanderer_photos/bike28.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/GrooTheWanderer_photos/bike30.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p306/GrooTheWanderer_photos/bike36.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I like the concept alot, the execution is well done, the only crit i have is hes contorting in a strange way to hold out the power mace. I would have him grabbing both bars. Have you thought about the bolter placment? Nice work :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Great concept - drawing inspiration from The Dark Knight maybe? Just a couple of criticisms. The first is that it looks a little too long and skinny for a Marine. Maybe bulk it out a bit. The second is, speaking as a biker myself, the riding position is odd. He seems too far forward. Also, the way his legs are bent would be extremely uncomfortable after riding for any length of time - even for a Marines enhanced body! Look at some pictures online for inspiration - google Moto GP or WSB (World Super Bikes) Check out the riding positions for them. Other than that, a really good start.

roullier1 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 so thats what you did with the DE bikes i traded ya :D looks good, now the rest of the squad ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGW Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 That's a good start. Did you base this concept off of the dodge tomahawk bike? TGW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumbaFish Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Neat, I had thought about using those tau drones to make a tomahawk like bike but wasn't sure of their size. Its good to know they fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Its a cool looking bike, but it looks like a racer not a combat bike. I couldn't really see them engaging in any sort of melee combat while riding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 so thats what you did with the DE bikes i traded ya :P looks good, now the rest of the squad :D Hiya Mate ;) Once I iron out some of these issues, I'll get started on those :) At the moment tho I'm looking at various materials to use as armour to bulk it out abit without loosing the sleek lines of the original bike. And I'm thinking of mounting the bolters on sponsons or on the front wheels like the batman motorcycle. I'll post some pics as I go along :) Cheers!

Castlerook Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Wow, seems someone is a fan of Akira. Looks good, but you might want to make it a little bit more like a combat vehichle, a suggestion would be to have the bolters just about the front type, or Ork Warbike style.

firestarter Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I have an actual brilliant idea for a chaplain biker Lee if you get phil over with that parts and I could get started think ghost rider bike and bat pod together. If u want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dood515 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It's a nice idea but i don't think space marines would really ride like this because the rider is too bent/?contorted? i mean, the position fits well for de because they're armour is light and they're flexible but this all seem to "ninja" for the big heavy tank-armoured marines.

Typical Cricket Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 It looks really nice, but I have to agree with some of the above posters and say that it looks a little too long and skinny. Still a great conversion, though! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooshfinn Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Were you trying to do a Tron Lightcycle? Thats what that reminds me of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 It's the Batpod and it looks like it could be really neat! I contemplated about making a "batmobile" as a fast attack ground tank. Not sure where to start through as my scratch build skils are more "crap build". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
