sp4rky Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Hi guys, I have been having great success with the following little chap: Sorcerer on Bike, - Mastery level 3 - Mark of Nurgle - Sigil of Corruption - Force SWORD - Gift of Mutation Now, my question is: How would you model a Sorcerer on a bike? Obviously the first thing I need is a bike, which I have, but what other bits would you recommend to make him look suitably "sorcerery"? I did vaguely think of a Dark Angels guy on a bike for a robed look but I'm not sure if that will actually look any good. If any of you have pictures of assembled Sorcerers I would be most appreciative if you could post them up here so I can draw on inspiration for them. Thanks!

Lepaca Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I plan to build mine from the Chaos Bike + Possessed torso and arm (the "flamethrower") and a head from the plastic Terminator Lord set (either the sorcerer head or the helmetless one).

sp4rky Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Now that is a very nice Spiky Hat. Where do you find such a thing? Did he have to manufacture his own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lepaca Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Now post your bikes people! ;) EDIT: I just built an amazing Biker Sorcerer by converting the DV bike sergeant. Just replaced his torso with a possessed torso and gave him the terminator sorc head. Just one question remains: what weapon to model him with? I'm leaning towards a sword. What do you think?

Prot Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Spiky hat. lol So true though. Just an fyi someone didi put a Thousand Sons marine on a bike in the D.V. mini's thread. I know it's not a sorc but I'm just wondering if you got your hands on the resin 1K sons kit from GW if you could maybe make it work? Just a thought.

Attomsk Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well, you could do what I did with a DV chosen and a bike, and mash them together. It takes a lot of chopping and some patience but bikes and DV chosen go together so well! To make this guy a sorcer you could change the head out to a sorc head and then perhaps make a little spell familiar riding along on the back of the bike! http://i.imgur.com/hakE2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I've been considering using fantasy chaos knights as the basis for bike conversions. If that strikes your fancy, there's a nurgle lord on decrepit daemonic steed model that might make a good starting point for a sorcerer conversion: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...C02_873x627.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azekai Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Top notch as always, Attomsk! I do prefer the chaos knight to the 'evil space harley,' however. I don't have a sorcerer knight, but there are a slew of great Nurgle bits on the plastic plague bearer sprue. I can't recommend it enough for Nurgle conversions.

minionboy Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I don't have a picture on me, but I'll list what I used to great effect: Chaos Bike Ravenwing Robed Biker Legs http://www.modelbits.co.uk/images/ravenwing_bike_rider_legs.jpg Ravenwing Ribed Biker Torso Staff from the Chaos Terminator Lord kit Head from the CSM upgrade sprue http://www.modelbits.co.uk/images/chaos_space_marine_tzeentch_champion_head_2007_large.jpg Overall, the process was very painless. I only had to shave the symbol off the biker torso, cut the terminator hand to fit properly, and cut the robed legs a tad to fit on the CSM bike. Best of all, I had all the bits in my bitsbox and he's all plastic! I'll take a pic for you tonight if I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kol Saresk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 So the moral of the story is that a sorcerer should be able to walk up to another sorcerer and say "I see your spikes are as big as mine."? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attomsk Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Awesome bike sorc! Thanks for the nice comments on my conversion, I can't wait to paint the guy after I am done building the rest of my stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp4rky Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Wow, that is a cool looking Sorcerer. He fulfils all the criteria - robes, sorcerer-y hat, chaos mutations. Excellent! I'm waiting for my robes to turn up from eBay before I can attempt a similar thing. My Lord on his bike looked pretty poor though in comparison.
