Ironwithout Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ok so I am at the stage with my Iron Warriors that I need to do my six man bike squad. My problem is the GW bikes both loyalist and traitor are a bit meh! I could really do with some help in regards to conversion ideas or any examples any one may have seen. I got to be honest at this stage I'm thinking about scratch building the bikes with the riders actually part of the bike themselves. Only problem is its going to be a huge amount of work and well I'm lazy lol. Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I saw someone using orc bikes or orc bike parts and it looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 First, do a google image search for "post apocalyptic bikes". There's a lot of good ideas in black tubular steel, rusty armor plates, and off-road conversion. Especially check out the bike-terminator from Terminator: Salvation, and the motorcycle nightmare scene from Nightmare on Elm Street 5 Next, decide how truly lazy you are, because six bikes is a pretty big project, so make sure the cool factor will keep you motivated to finish.

Slayer le Boucher Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Some pics if you are interested. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3041/img1328ou.jpg Thats my Lord bike. And my Reaver Bikes . http://imageshack.us/a/img23/8772/img1041uy.jpg http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/6250/img1039x.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/1342/img1079f.jpg They are very simple to make,use DE reaver bikes bits and Chaos Marines bikes bits. Thay make an aggresive and sleek look, and don't worry about the marines on it, the size is absolutly no problem! They perfectly fit, plus when you assemble them has usual and put them on the ledges they have that Bike Racer Lean forward look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipX Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 If you really like Akira you can check out the FW outrider bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazryonh Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 If you really like Akira you can check out the FW outrider bikes. I thought those were nods to something more local; the British-created Judge Dredd comic strip and the "Lawmaster" bikes seen in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I love that akira bike, it's awesome (and inspirational... made from ork bike + dark eldar bits?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Bionic Marines! Buy some of the tank kits from Flames of War, the WW2 minis game. Convert up some bits to connect the Marine's waist to the hole for the tank's turret and voila! Marines who have had their legs replaced with vehicle tracks.

Shaolin_Monkey Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Go with the "built into the bikes" idea. Its perfect for Iron Warriors. I am doing a similar but instead of using bikes just any kind of small tracks looks good. Check out Mantic Games Jotunn Hailstorm Cannon. I am using tracks from these and similar as a base and implanting torsos on top. Depending on the size you want you can even toy with Orge bodies for more size and impact (count as MoN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitaRasmus Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Pardon the self indulgence, but I had the same problem as you, and decided on this concept for my Dark Mechanicus army: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
