Finished Jetbike and Base

Hi Guys,

This is just a quick update; I've managed to get the Warlock on bike painted, aswell as doing the base. I've got a post ready explaining how I painted them, techniques etc. but until I can get the pictures for that post tell me what you think of the finished product (so far!)

Warlock on Jetbike Conversion

So, I've finally managed to get my first converted model built. I plan to put pictures of it painted in later posts, but until then, let me talk you through this conversion.

I'd just like to say that these photos were taken by my phone, my camera has died on me so until I get a new one (which should be in the next week or so), but until then, you'll have to make do with the ones I've managed to get.


As I've said before, I wanted to create more of a unique look for my warlocks, so I opted to have some Dire Avenger pieces on the model which seems to look quite effective. I won't bother to go on because the conversion was pretty simple, just a torso, head and arm swap. Depending on how well you thinks this worked, I'll put up a tutorial (there are some little bits which need to be trimmed for the rider to fit on the bike).

I'll leave you with the pictures of the finished bike.

Bitz and Conversion Ideas

My collection of bits for conversions on the jetbikes

I've just placed the order for my final set of bitz for Saim Hann force. You might be asking yourself why would I need these bitz? Don't the Eldar jetbikes come with everything you would need already?

Well, the answer is yes, but I don't just want an ordinary army, I don't want to just say "these jetbikes are counting as my seer council"; so I've searched the internet and come up with some ideas.

As you can probably see in the picture, there are a variety of parts, so far I've got:

• Guardian heads
• Dire Avenger heads (and an Exarch one)
• Eldar swords and spears
• Dire Avenger torsos
• I've also got some Guardian torsos on the way

The current GW jetbike model

Firstly, I don't really like the torsos on the Guardian jetbikes, they just don't seem to look right, so I plan to swap them all out with Guardian torsos and also replacing their tall heads for standard Guardian heads. I think this will give them a more uniform theme within the current eldar models. 

Now, I've got some Dire Avenger heads, torsos and weapons; they are for the plastic Seer council conversions. I took inspiration form this image I found on Dakka Dakka

As you can see, it gives them a more distinctive look and will easily separate them from the rest of the force. They will also be painted with a higher black content than the other standard guardian jetbikes. I plan to use the Exarch gear for the Farseer and give him a reversed paint scheme (swap the places of red and black around). 

Well, there you have it! I've listed all my conversion ideas (so far!) and I should have a test model (a warlock on bike to be exact) completed by the end of the week so you can expect that soon.

Stay tuned for more updates...
