KrautScientist Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 While I would advise you to go with whatever option seems the most fun to you, in case you ever need to convert a jetbike after all, Ron's tutorial over at From the Warp has always worked well for me.

Balthamal Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Being one of the Atramentar, Kuul Zhar looks down upon bikes are being lesser tools. Or he could if he were a real person instead of a randomly generated name pulled from my head Personally I'd go with regular bikes, mainly due to grav technology being such a pain the posterior to maintain let alone produce. If your warband happened to have dragged a ranking mechanicum adept along with his army of slaves and the relevant materials to carry out the work then I'd say it's not beyond the realms of possibility. P.S when I finally get my hands on Massacre and being my own rise with the VIII Legion I plan to make a 6 man bike squad using the outriders from FW since they look so much better than the GW ones Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278092-night-lords-15th-company-in-memoriampg68/page/11/#findComment-3439707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 While I would advise you to go with whatever option seems the most fun to you, in case you ever need to convert a jetbike after all, Ron's tutorial over at From the Warp has always worked well for me. That's a very expensive conversion because it requires not only the marine bike and various bits from other sources, it calls for two OOP Dark Eldar jetbikes to be used.

sockwithaticket Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Blood and Skulls Industryused to do some, but they've been taken down recently. They might go up again, who knows. Alternatively this Maxmini one is quite cool.http://maxmini.eu/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=125 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278092-night-lords-15th-company-in-memoriampg68/page/11/#findComment-3439790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 What's wrong with the FW jet bikes? They are totally sweet and not that much bigger than the regular bike kits from GW proper.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Depending on what you could get the OOP Dark Eldar jet bikes for from eBay, the FW bikes would be about the same price or not much more. And I agree that they are all kinds of awesome.

Very fitting indeed, send me a pm if you want to swap out any of the DA specific bits in the kits for other stuff. I could use some Dark Angels stuff and I have extra other stuff.

Brother Heinrich Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 So i figured we've got an unbalanced chatter to photo ration, so here's what I'm working on, no doubt Jaspcat will be pleased ;) Still have some more "ornamentation" to do, but here is the almost complete Landraider "Creeping Death." http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/1238124_10152168273408761_1894329658_n_zps000e7542.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/1231555_10152168273368761_1949840029_n_zps7cf2d8c3.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/1185534_10152168273333761_1809413671_n_zpsd9c1c571.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/1150203_10152168273268761_1191513405_n_zps66376ea8.jpg This is actually the 1st Landraider I've ever built (and likely the last). This thing was such a massive pain in the butt, from the warped an improperly sized MkIIb kit from FW, to the long wait and crazy amount of cutting and slicing I had to do on the Oppressor pattern treads from Blood and Skulls Industry, this has been the project from hell. Pretty much zero fun from start to near completion, which is unfortunate because I love building stuff almost as much, if not more, than I do painting it. All thats left is the sororitas corpse I plan on hanging on the left side and a yet to be determined (probably Night Lords symbol) hood ornament. Anyways let me know what you guys think as always!As for the rest of the treads I got from Blood and Skulls Industries, the Rhino treads are practically unusable they're so warped, so I'm thinking of scrapping them all. If anyone has spare Rhino treads they'd be willing to part with send a PM my way. The Rhino's have been a load of fun up to this point. Hopefully when the bike parts arrive my hobby Mojo will return. As for the Chaos Lord he's pretty much done, just gotta add a few skulls/trophies and he'll be ready for your critique.I'd also like to apologize to Kol Saresk for not having a completed Sergeant to show you guys tonight, he's currently taking a super-klean bath and will be getting assembled tomorrow evening, I didn't like his pose/my GS work, and my perfectionist genes won't let me just put "okay" work into this army. That's all for now,Ave Dominus Nox! horiable 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278092-night-lords-15th-company-in-memoriampg68/page/11/#findComment-3440115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I built one LR for myself, and another for my one and only painting commission a long, long time ago. Even without the resin parts, they are not fun to put together. Come to think of it, none of the GW vehicles are, but the MK IIB sure does look nice. Since it's likely to be your last, I was going to suggest the awesome armor kit from Subtle Discord, but I dunno if it would work with the IIB resin parts.

ephrael Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 That Landraider looks fantastic, the extra trim and decorations are perfect. It's a shame that the treads were a pain bevause they look great on there. Did you try contacting Blood and Skulls about the problems? He should replace them for you if you explain the issue. I can help you out with your rhino track problem, I picked up a used one and a new one in a trade and my Deathwing won't be riding in them. Send me a pm and I'll get you all sorted out tomorrow.

About time my brother, sorry to hear about the tracks and the pain of assembly Haha, figured you'd enjoy it man. I built one LR for myself, and another for my one and only painting commission a long, long time ago. Even without the resin parts, they are not fun to put together. Come to think of it, none of the GW vehicles are, but the MK IIB sure does look nice. Since it's likely to be your last, I was going to suggest the awesome armor kit from Subtle Discord, but I dunno if it would work with the IIB resin parts. Yeah it's unfortunate because the kit does look sweet and it really conveys the whole "Heresy/Pre-Heresy" time frame that most of the traitor legions have their gear from. I like Subtle Discord's kits and they look super clean, but unfortunately they're a little too gaudy for the direction I'm going with this army. That Landraider looks fantastic, the extra trim and decorations are perfect. It's a shame that the treads were a pain bevause they look great on there. Did you try contacting Blood and Skulls about the problems? He should replace them for you if you explain the issue. I can help you out with your rhino track problem, I picked up a used one and a new one in a trade and my Deathwing won't be riding in them. Send me a pm and I'll get you all sorted out tomorrow. Yeah I would but I'm just not in the mood to continue waiting for tracks, I'm ready to paint these damn Rhinos and honestly I'm not as impressed with oppressor rhino tracks as I am the Landraider ones. I shoot you a PM shortly. That land raider is Awesome Thanks man (Disclaimer: No Crimson Fists were harmed in the making of this Landraider) I love the tracks of the LR.....I can already hear them crunching their way trough ranks of loyalists! Thanks, that's the idea ;) You get the Night Lords like few other people do, Heinrich. I'll drink to that. Not sure if I should be proud or worried that I understand psychopaths so well... ;) No need to apologize. I see it as saving the best for last. Exactly ;) http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/3126fc6a-048b-4c89-836a-395a4f47d033_zps22d7f417.jpg (middle guy) Why hello there, you sexy beast.

Well a landraider isn't exactly the fastest of vehicles. I thought it fit quite nicely with the Night Lords MO, It's crawling forward inexorably and unstoppably and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
