McGibs Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 We all know the new Invader ATV looks like a dumb GI Joe Mario cart. Statwise, it's also clearly just two Outrider bikes glued together. Soooo.... I went and glued two outrider bikes together to make my own. http://mcgibs.com/wp-content/gallery/workbench/retromarines_invader_wip01.jpg Trokair, Jaipii, Majkhel and 16 others 19 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trokair Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Interesting, parts list please if you can remember. Aside from the bike I recognize a bit but not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGibs Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thanks guys! Aside from the obvious bike hulls, the parts are: Engineblock: IG Oil drum, back nubbin from an onager dunecrawler, and the slagged outrider exhausts. Turret: Big knight shoulder turrets (thanks bits sites!) with some spare melta barrels added in place of the cannons. Then just some spare bolters, ogryn shoulderpads for mud flaps, and a bit of plasticard for gap filling I should have enough bits for another!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Your work is impressive, but as I see no space for a Space Marine crew (the turret interior will be given over to ammo/fuel/batteries for the turret-mounted weapon), it fits in an AdMech army best, as we can claim a machine spirit (artificial intelligence) controls it.

War of the Eagle Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Nice saw your post on facebook still think its a great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGibs Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 My homebrew marine chapter is basically highjacked by Admech, which is why there's no (visible) crew. It goes along with my (totally not drone controlled, that would be tech heresy!) cyberbikes! http://mcgibs.com/wp-content/gallery/miniatures/retromarines_cyberbike01.jpg Grotsmasha, MithrilForge, Trokair and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That ATV is a seriously nice converion, great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I quite like it. The creativity involved is quite pleasing. I'm quite bothered by the reverse bike seats in front though, since it is a couple of outriders slapped together. Not sure anything can be done about them, or if you even need to... just painting them in a decidedly not-seat choice of colour might be enough? Or is there some simple bits that could cover them? (Perhaps they only bother me?) Edited October 7, 2020 by Reinhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majkhel Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Ha, excellent idea! I see some Ghost in the Shell connotations :)It might be a bit small compared to actual Invader, but on the other hand there's definitely less unused space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Great conversion, very Batmobile-y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Very cool, I get a 40K crossed with Ghost in the shell vibe from this (in a good way) I’d love to have a unit of these in a marine army !! Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
