Hey guys,
I have some spare time and decided to post a little tutorial for how I did my Attack bikes:

What do you need?
-> 1 Set of three Ravenwing Bikers
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1400016&prodId=prod1060240

-> 2 bits of a Predator which are normally attached to the back of the top mounted weapon. There are two options on the sprue so these should be easy to get a hold of.
-> Two Rhino doors. But if you own a Predator, Vindicator or Baal Predator you will probably have some spare ones.
-> Little greenstuff. Don't be scared. Only minor skills are necessary.
-> Bit from the man-hole on top of the tanks.
-> Rhino gunner and Multimelta

All the other bits are part of the kit

Take three bits of cut sprue. The length should equal the straight edges of the Rhino door.
Glue them on.





Then immidiately glue on the spare windshield from the Ravenwing kit.
Make sure that you have a smooth transition between the sprue on the side and the windshield.



Fill the holes on the edges with green stuff.



Cut the exhaust of the bike as shown in the picture.






Cut the spare base in the middle and attach one half to the base of your bike as shown in the picture. Smoothen out the transition with green stuff.



Cut the shaft of the front tire as shown. This is an optional step. I wanted to elongate the shaft.



Cut one edge of the Landspeeder door so that it becomes symmetrical and fill the holes with green stuff.



Cut some Q-tips and use them to elongate the shaft up to the size you like. 1/3 of an inch in my case. I attached the elongations with greenstuff.



Glue the Predator bit to the back of the Rhino door





Glue on one of the two spare tires to the side of the bike, and this exhaust like looking bit.



Glue on the Landspeeder door and the eagle if you like.



Cut the foot plate as seen here. Attach it to the bike.



Cut the bit from the manhole in half and glue on half inside the wagon.





Glue on the front tire the driver and the gunner and you will end up with this.
I forgot to take a picture with the base attached.



Well. That was my tutorial. If you like it leave a comment.

EPIC. That's great, man. Very innovative.

Lovein' it man. didn't realize the side car was entirely converted! sound!
IF, i ever want another attack bike i will try this!
might be like a year or sumin' though:L

It's a clever use of bits, but unless you happen to have those exact bits laying around, seems an awfully expensive way to make an attack bike.

I would strongly recommend pinning and gluing the front forks, rather than just attaching them with greenstuff. The final picture is a good example as to why...

"Elongate the shaft."

**runs away**

That's a great conversion and it Looks Awesome.

The Ravenwing Box costs you 32€ and gives you all the bits for TWO of my bikes. The bits you need: Rhino door (could be exchanged for a piece of plastic card), the Predator bit (1€), and the gunner with the MM. ALL of the other bits are included in the box, even the Landspeeder doors.

Regular attack bikes cost you 22,5 € each. -> 45€ for two. So you have 13€ to spend on the bits and even their delivery and have the same cost.

Taling about the front wheel. This picture was taken without letting the greenstuff dry. I was in a hurry. The it dry -> glue it on -> perfect.

Good stuff!

Oh wow. Excellent craftsmanship.

Love that side hack cool idea

Great work, like this a lot.
