Brother Caliban Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Hail brothers, I really need some ideas on how to convert Space Marine Bikes, I have done a searchy and found nothing, so if you have any pics or links that would be great. I am aiming to convert it like Clouds bike from Advent Children. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy40k Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 So... youre going to make a bike that is about the length of a rhino.. and half the width... Its a cool bike, but it won't be easy, you'll want to look at some of the Akira inspired bikes and use some eldar/tau bits. -Legacy40k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarch16 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Shouldnt this be in the painting and modeling section? Whats advent children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Caliban Posted June 17, 2006 Author Share Posted June 17, 2006 So... youre going to make a bike that is about the length of a rhino.. and half the width... -Legacy40k Yes! You think it will be too big? Oh and for anyone living underground with Squigs, Advent Children is Square Enix's sequel to Final Fantasy VII in animated film form. The new bike replaced the original Daytona and is cool as ****. - sorry :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 hmmm advent children's bike :lol: *cough* uhm...where was i? oh yes :blush: well, it WOULD be cool, but imho you should make it just as big as a normal bike, as if you WOULD make it the length of a rhino and half the width you would have one hell of a large bike :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn of the Dogs Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Shouldnt this be in the painting and modeling section? Whats advent children? final fantasy 7 movie. there was an article in WD a long time ago, it was on a chaos champion called Steppenwolf, and there was one version on bike and the bike was based on the bikes from Akira. it used marine bike wheels, with 2nd ed rhino hatches as hubs, and used pieces from the eldar vyper, but i dont remember what else he used or the issue number.

Commander Sha'son Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 There was a kick :lol: bike conversion called the Raptor on here once. It was done 2 years ago. So way before the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Could it be that the Raptor bike refered to is the Guardian Angels' Raptor? :blink: http://www.codexguardianangels.com/temp_material/raptor-angle.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Sha'son Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 thats the one. That is a big :o bike. I am building one for STRIKE army. It is for my 3rd company General. So whom ever's idea the Raptor is, I am shamelessly stealing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aretziel Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 myself I will probably try to convert my bikes into the one I posted a link to ... will have to see how to make the attackbike though ... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamez Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 the front and back parts of that first bike are bits of the eldar viper hull, the front being the back bit, with the 'wings' folded down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aretziel Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 the front and back parts of that first bike are bits of the eldar viper hull, the front being the back bit, with the 'wings' folded down as you may see I found a breakdown list at another forum and linked to it =) thanks for the help anyway =) now I just have to get some eldar vipers =) guess I will need one for each bike =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTDemon Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 ok, if you're doing a version of clouds bike (fenrir) then I insist you do a Thunderhawk gunship modelled after Cids airship (Highwind!!) :o :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 thats the one. That is a big :wacko: bike. I am building one for STRIKE army. It is for my 3rd company General. So whom ever's idea the Raptor is, I am shamelessly stealing it. Well that would be my idea your "stealing" and I must say I am flattered that someone would. :cuss The one I have images of is a prototype and I have intended to build another one - I have the parts waiting in my bits box, all I need now is time. Maybe I can get the next one made this week, in which case I will document it and set up a page dedicated to the "(Velosio) Raptor" on my site. - Both how to build it, some fluff facts and some game mechanics. :cuss I also love the other high-tech converted bikes in this thread and intend to make a few once I get the time, so if anyone making some now could document the parts and the process I am sure a lot of people would be grateful. - I know I would! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman3382 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 On the subject of bike conversions, there was a link somewhere long ago to a great scout bike conversion that looked like a dirt bike almost, and was made out of a chopped up marine bike and some plasticard... anyone have a link to that tutorial still?

And behold!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/Dimreapa/Stepp1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v207/Dimreapa/Stepp2.jpg EDIT: Right, thats the best I can do I'm afraid. If anyone wants bigger pics, PM me seeing as the ones on my comp are being dowsized on photoshop, I can email you with them attached. These are from UK WD 144, from a guy called Francios-Xavier Ngo from the GW french studio. Steppenwolf is his chaos lord and there are apparently several models of him. Naturally, this is inspired by Akira and the above pic covers all the major parts. I was a few issues off what I thought it was - I thought it was 133. Enjoy, hope this helps.

Penitent Dreadnought Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I knew the bits included olde Rhino hatches, Trukk tires and Vyper body pieces, but I had no idea there was a jump pack in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppenwolf is his chaos lord and there are apparently several models of him. I got an old issue from 91 that got 144 on the back ... but I think this must be an issue before some sort of re-numbering ... it says: 'GAMES WORKSHOPS' 'White Dwarf' on it ... instead of the ones now adays that got tha 'White Dwarf' in large letters ... anyone got info on when they changed etc?

Chaptermaster Graymantle Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I'm afraid my workload at work piled up today as my boss handed me a lot of stuff that needs doing this week, so I probably wont have an opening at getting my article on the "Velosio Raptor" done before the weekend or possibly next week. - But it's coming!

Bloodthirster90 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 if you go through with this, please make sure you make the sides open up with 3 swords each side ^^ seriously though, it'd be a cool idea. good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
