Grotsmasha Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 ...as the title states, these bad bays are from Kromlech and are available on eBay, not sure if they're old news or not, buy hey.

Isiah Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 ... and an unpainted version here Jetbike... at last! It looks 'Orky' to me – maybe it's because of the mouth/front air intake. Cool design nonetheless. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231701-3rd-party-jet-bike-sculpts/#findComment-2787958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'd rather advocate using Imperial Cruisers as the basis of an Imp JB... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231701-3rd-party-jet-bike-sculpts/#findComment-2788057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think it looks pretty cool. The old design could be a throwback to the Horus Heresy era, since for some reason the Adeptus Mechanicus can build Titans but not jetbikes.

Grotsmasha Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'd rather advocate using Imperial Cruisers as the basis of an Imp JB... if you have any pics of this method, post them here, I'm curious.... As to the orky-ness of the jetbike, it's name is the Iron Shark, which the right hand picture really shows it's sharkiness, also once I have recieved mine I intend on removing the rear upright exhausts which I think will help.

Grotsmasha Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I just recieved my Horus Heresy art books today (was able to find all 4 volumes together on eBay), and while looking at all the pretty pictures I stumbled across this one......look familiar?

shabbadoo Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Removing the multiple exhausts certainly would help, but the front intake mimics the Ork fliers right down to there being guns where the eyes are. He means sheer the prow off of an Imperial Cruiser, and use that as the front piece. Then you hack off the front fender/wheel forks from a marine bike and attach it behind the prow. Then hack off the sides of the rear fender and put an engine in there. Size-wise, one of the Ork Stormboyz jump packs actually works quite well, and has a nice turbine on it too. Just be sure to remove the haphazard Orky details to clean it up and so look Imperial. Stick an open book on the top of the prow, just in front of the handlebars. Then undersling a plasma cannon and mount put two bolter barrels in the sides of the prow where the torpedo openings are. Then use plastic Ravenwing robed legs, torso, and other DA/SM bits to make Sammael. All plastic MotRW, on a jetbike. Considering that GW is now doing leaders with set bits on very small sprues, we could very well see a plastic Sammael next time around.

Grotsmasha Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 So I've recieved my Iron Shark jetbikes and de-exhausted one and Dark Angeled it a bit and here it beside the TS jetbike I kitbashed awhile back... The only modification necessary for my TS rider to fit the Iron Shark is to exend the footrests width-wise like I had to on the kitbash.

Isiah Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks very impressive. Any chance of getting the front 'wings' onto the Iron Shark jetbike? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231701-3rd-party-jet-bike-sculpts/#findComment-2796369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 That's some good work you've done there. I can't wait to see it painted up. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231701-3rd-party-jet-bike-sculpts/#findComment-2796521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Isiah: Here we go, just cause you asked, it's just a quick 2 second job, using a Ravenwing Bike fairing and the Hussar feather thingy... I tried to take a front on photo but the Ravenwing "jink" resulted in about 10 blurry pics. cheers, Jono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231701-3rd-party-jet-bike-sculpts/#findComment-2796863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

brennus Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 The model looks pretty good to me. It a little bit less Gothic than standard GW models, and a little more Art Deco - something that I see in some of the Heresy-era artwork.
