Ok I built a Warboss on an Akira bike and it's sleek (for an ork bike) and I don't want to make huge ugly guns that look awkward (though that's what an ork would do). I thought of putting a barrel along the side of the front fairing on right side but I'm open to any suggestions. Many of the Wazdakka conversions I've seen are difficult to see because they're so busy.

Is it too late to slightly widen the front wheel fairing then, and then just put the gun muzzles sticking out from inside it, aside the front wheel?

Looks like the rubber lego wheels

Edit: Also nice build.

I think putting the barrel on the sides is a good idea. probably put one on each side to even it out.

Yeh I agree. If you want to keep it as sleek as it is then under the front faring is a good idea

With either a couple on one side or 1:1, even 2:2 could look pretty sweet

I dont think many other options would be anywhere near as sleek, unless you mounted them on the top side of the front wheel and had them more slender and shortened.

Favourite Game: When your Warboss on bike wrecks 3 vehicles simply by HoW - especially when his bike is a custom monowheel.

Yes they are the Lego tires! Nice catch! After looking all over my house for the set of tires I had originally planned to use I ended up stealing from my kid's toy box. Lucky for me he thinks the ork bike is awesome.

I was entertaining the idea of drilling a hole through the windscreen to have a barrel sticking out above the front tire. Alternatively two brackets on either side of the "big 1" sticker with a barrel attached there. The windscreen will not be glued in place until after painting so... there's that.

In the end I decided to just put a magnet inside so that I can represent WYSIWYG for tournaments. I like the bike as it is too much to change it.
