Dysorange Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hello Brothers, I have been dreaming for a while to create my own custom Chaos Space Marines Bikers and Biker Lords respectively based on the AoS Chaos Knights and Varanguards. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Chaos-Knights-2016 https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Varanguard-Knights-of-Ruin I would like to know if anyone had experience with the Chaos Knights, especially how the liaison between the legs and the bust is made? Would it be possible to just put a CSM torso on that without any major joint issue? The general plan is to use the mounts and legs of the Knights to put the torso and arms of a regular CSM. The question of the TL Bolter on the bike comes to mind as well but not as a primary concern so far. Same kind of question goes for the Varanguard, that are stunning models, but recent models from GW are not the most conversion friendly..... has anyone got any experience building or converting them? Thank you for any help! Dysorange. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/331452-aos-chaos-knights-and-varanguards-for-csm-bikerslord/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulkansDynasty Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 When I get home from work, I have TONS of Chaos Knights and some Space Marine bikers I can take some pictures of for you. In theory it should work fine, however the torso and legs meet on a flat plane, so I would recommend a long metal rod to hold it together, or a small ball of greenstuff. Just thinking about it off the top of my head I don't see many issues with it. As for the bolter, you could just put a bolter in the dude's hand and call it good. Otherwise you'd have to rig something up on the horse to look like weapon barrels, or make the marines have a techmarine-esq servo arm with a bolter on it.

Major_Gilbear Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Edit: Sorry I misunderstood what you wanted to do with the bikes and Knights! Yes, the torsos fit reasonably well onto PA legs, and likewise PA torsos fit reasonably well onto the Knight legs. As GKTerminator says though, you will most likely need a long-ish pin and some putty to fill gaps, but it's nothing major. For the Knights, giving them a combi-bolter in one hand might be enough to convey that they are bikes and still be armed correctly?

Dysorange Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Hello Brothers, thank you for your feedback, I will then get my Chaos knights and will work toward converting them for a more Grimdark purpose! I will try to find the time to update this thread with some pictures later on! Dysorange.
