Nice! What did you use for the front of the bike?

It’s tracks from an old gorkamorka wartrak and some bits of a knight I had lying around 

[gideon stargreave]

Another WIP outrider. I really wanted these to seem like a cross between hells angels and Arthurian knights. 

[ZeroWolf]

They certainly come across that way. A nice mash up their using the Necromunda bike.

Thanks! 
 

I made another outrider last night too. Gotta have a chonky biker 

[MithrilForge]

Really Nice stuff, as mentioned very Blanche styled. 

That Necromunda bike conversion is cool, do you mind if I ask if an Ork biker/Nob would fit that bike as I had an idea for a bike Nob for my Ork army as soon as I saw that Bike.

 

Cheers, M

Thanks. I reckon an ork would fit fine. It might require some cutting, but getting space marine bits on it needed plenty too. You might even just be able to do a head swap. Be warned though, the hands are molded onto the handlebars

Another WIP outrider and the Unit so far. Space marines have always come in combat squads in my head canon, so I’ve got another to make and then a sanguinary priest to lead them (despite no longer existing- counts as chaplain I suppose)

[ZeroWolf]

Really nice work. I'm hoping they expand the choice of characters on bikes and give us captains/etc on outrider bikes. Given what we're supposed to be getting this edition, it probably won't be soon sadly.

[gideon stargreave]

work begins on the first land raider. I hate painting vehicles so I’m adding a fair bit of interesting details to make it less boring for me. This will be the transport for the tactical marines I think. Called Godslayer (tbc)

[ZeroWolf]

What is that glorious weapon on the side sponson?

It’s an old ork gun I had. A big zzapa I think. Ork aesthetics have moved on so far since those days that I think it works well as an archaeotech weapon

[gideon stargreave]

Work continues on the landraider. I need to do something about the sponson

[gideon stargreave]

I’ve changed the sponson on the landraider to more archaeotech. The other landraider will be much different. A crusader for the death company, so with standard weapons. I’m still planning out it’s customizations 

[gideon stargreave]

The second land raider WIP. Just sketching out some details currently

Kick butt converting 

 

Are the autocannons a kitbash too? Looks like an actual part

Thanks!

the auto canon things are from an imperial knight. I’ve no idea what they’re called but they fit the space really nicely and help with the overall aesthetic of the force 

[gideon stargreave]

My space marines of old always had banners, so this army has to have them too. 

[gideon stargreave]

I found a few metal grey knights in my bits box so have begun work making one of them a blood angel. The rest might end up as actual grey knights but let’s see

[ZeroWolf]

I like the combination of the Grey Knight helm and the jump pack, can't wait to see it painted.

[gideon stargreave]

Thanks. I’m just about done with all the converting now. I’ve got a round of green stuffing to do, basing and then painting. I’m procrastinating about the green stuff, cause I don’t like using it, but I’ll probably make a start this week. 

[gideon stargreave]

Another death company WIP made from a metal grey knight 

[gideon stargreave]

Basing done. I use a mix of broken plaster, beach sand and bicarbonate of soda. 
the gaps in the outriders were horrendous, so I spent quite some time with liquid putty and a file to sort them out 
I’m looking forward to getting some paint on these now

[ZeroWolf]

Yeah, I don't know what went wrong with the outriders per say, but the pieces seem to hate lining up with each other.

Honestly the worst GW kit I’ve ever built, and I was an early forge world adopter.

 

 

in good news, I’ve base coated the land raiders. Both tanks have a mix of base coats for interest. The black one is satin, matte and white in messy layers, the red is Mephiston red and a cheap dark red brown
