SyNidus Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 So i'm a fan of the current eldar jetbikes and i noticed that shining spears seem to be on the old chopper style bikes. Does anyone know how i can convert the windriders to shining spears?

Slips Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Unless you can find their laser lance arms on bitz seller sites, you could try making them using Bright Lances and Pistol arms?

CrystalSeer Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'd look at the lances from dragon princes in aos shandwen 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340868-shining-spears-using-the-windriders/#findComment-4919737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Literally just use any Lance arm in fantasy, Aos, LOTR ect. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340868-shining-spears-using-the-windriders/#findComment-4919759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrbOfAntioch Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Shining Spears are probably some of the worst citadel models that's currently still in production... -The resin is not the new "finecast", is hard as to the point that it's hard to trim the resin gates off (and they exist in all kinds of crevices) with fresh cutting blades. -The bikes, EVEN if you do like the old old scat bikes, are made with, again, terrible plastic. Pretty much have to use liquid green stuff on all the sprue points because the plastic is so brittle it chips off more than what you cut. That said, the rider bodies are still unique, and so are the lances lest you want to spend a lot of time converting them to get that space elf look. Me being the inadequate sculptor ended up just forking up for rider bikes, getting shining spear boxes only for the uppder half rider bodies...

jimbo1701 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) http://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_130 Made one today. Fairly straightforward and aside from the head position think it works well. Edit: don’t know why image link isn’t working. Any ideas and I’ll fix it.

Karhedron Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 If you are willing to consider buying 3rd party minis then these look very nice. I haven't ordered from this place myself though so caveat emptor! http://detalik.ru/ghost-miniatures/type-s-shining-spears-3-models http://detalik.ru/uploads/product/100/149/001418248836.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340868-shining-spears-using-the-windriders/#findComment-4920323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Those are great! But almost £50 for 3 models.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340868-shining-spears-using-the-windriders/#findComment-4920502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chop Express Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 My conversion Hello mmimzie, I like your conversion! Is that Dark Rider cape? What other parts did you use?

mmimzie Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) My conversion Hello mmimzie, I like your conversion! Is that Dark Rider cape? What other parts did you use? All the parts are from the dark rider kit and wind rider. modified the guardian torse bit (threw out the back) and slapped the dark rider torso on top. Used The spear from the dark rider, and filed off the spikes. Then used the doomfire warlock blade from thier weapon to make a more eldar style blade.

SyNidus Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 I like that dark rider kit. Looks really good actually. Might give it a try. I'm building Ulthwé so these could be specialst black guardians? Lol i like the build though.

m_r_parker Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Thinking about doing something similar, but using the bright lances from Wraithlords / Wave Serpents / War Walkers as the laser lances. Just not sure how different the scale is going to be.
