Those are some smart looking grav bikes. Not often you see things converted like that

Wow, those resin bits make that bike fit right in with the repulsors and such.  where are they from?

 

Yep. Figured we got hover tanks why can't we have hover bikes? I got the grav kits off of Etsy and the Templars chasis from Legio Templaris. I know there are some others that sell the kits and/or files. Just Google "grav outriders 40k". Should pop right up.

Got the last two Outriders assembled. Technically the guardrails on the grav pads are supposed to be facing up but the front ones are longer and cover up the chapter details so on the bottom they go. Minor change but personal preference. Now I just need to find some study clear plastic tube so they can actually hover above their bases. They're just resting on them in the photos for now.

Clear Acrylic rods are what I use, 5mm would be plenty for Outriders

I went phat for mine, 10mm

Sternguard, Scouts, Incursors, and Infiltrators assembled. Probably will go back and add chains and tabards to a few of the models that don't have them.

Kitbashed another Chaplain, this time with jump pack using a Sanguinary Guard as the base. I was going to convert another axe into the crozius, but decided to go for a Sword Brethren mace topped with a skull. The book might be a bit much but he's a little top heavy so I wanted to bulk out the middle a bit.

 

[Jhadzaan]

And started putting together some Vanguard Vets with some some left over Bladeguard parts. Got to use up the shoulder pads from the Black Templar upgrade sprue as the jump packs make space bit tricky for the resin ones. Still need some work but they should do alright.

When I were a lad, we 'ad 'over bikes. [end Yorkshire accent]

The Jump Chaplain and Vanguard Vets are brilliant. Are those shields from Greytide too?

Yes. The shields are from Greytide.

Just need to correct that statement. The shields are designed by Marta Punkgirl. I got them from Dragoon Gaming. 

 

My apologies. Most of the resin I've been using has been from Greytide. Should have double checked first.

 

I'll have progress posts on my Vow in the following week once I get back from traveling for work.

Some great stuff in this thread and nice use of all the Greytide bits! I like how the Jump Chaplain and Vanguard Vets are coming along. I've got my eye on some Greytide Terminator gorgets for my Chaos terminators (I see that you use them) as I love that look.

[Jhadzaan]

Well work took longer than expected, but now I'm back and can get started on my Vow.

I primed most of the models yesterday (didn't take a new photo) and have about 5 of the Crusader Squad started with their base coats. Should have some photos by Monday.

 

And while work kept me away from starting my Vow, some more parts came in so I spent one hour putting together an Ancient and everyone's favorite model.............an INVADER ATV!

I found some lovely 3D files online that matched the hover bikes and the wonderful Etsy vendor I bought the hover bike parts from was kind enough to print them out as a custom order. It needs some Templar bits and gap filler to really complete it, but I'm going to try and magnetize the guns first (they're currently snap-fit into place). A multi-melta fits the Black Templars' theme, but the gattling cannon just looks cool.

 

We'll see how it goes.

Grav-invader looks interesting  

[W.A.Rorie]

that's pretty awesome!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

That grav ATV looks fantastic - way better than the GW go cart, though with the gubbins it does seem too large (IMHO) for a MOUNTED unit - in other words, IMHO its the size suitable for the VEHICLE keyword rather than the MOUNTED one.  That's a pretty minor quibble, though, for a much improved look.

 

And yes, the gatling definitely looks cool.
