nurglespuss Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi guys! I have a nice idea for making a Horus Heresy Imperial Fists attack bike in the style of the Forge World/Epic space marine bikes... At some point in the future, i will fork out the wonga for 3 of the Forge World bikes, but, until they make an attack bike, I want a stand in. Problem is.... I'm stuck as to how to procede, i can't think of any 'affordable/accesible' bits to make it happen. I have a spare bike to use luckily! Here are a few pics of the flavour I'm after: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/large/outrider.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_qkjO8JAWgo/UU0r4BqVJ1I/AAAAAAAAW-c/EjX0y9OHzmk/s1600/epic-space+marine+-bikers.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282313-heresy-style-attack-bike/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 ...I'm confused, sorry. Are you after advice on making the full AB from scratch (perhaps using a spare regular bike), or for one based off a FW bike? If you want some sidecar suggestions, you could look at the FW Javelin landspeeder for ideas maybe? The front quarter with the pilot and the upper heavy weapon mount could work well as a basis if you add a wheel and fairing to it as well. Even if you don't buy a FW Jav just to chop up (and I can't you blame you for not wanting to!), you can still use the idea/shape to craft your own version. Failing that, I know a lot of folks use normal landspeeders in AB conversions (modelling them as 4-wheeled buggies), so you could try a similar conversion with a Javelin by adding wheels to that perhaps?

Dragonlover Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Kitbash from an Eldar jetbike maybe? Dragonlover Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282313-heresy-style-attack-bike/#findComment-3504486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamafore Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Apologies for nerco'ing this thread, but I'm using the FW bikes in a 40k army, and I was looking for this thread for ideas on my own attack bikes. I got to thinking, instead of trying to retrofit something to look similar, go for something completely different. Maybe use the Tauros and putting marines in it? Will that even work?
