What do you get if you combine 3 boxes of warbikers, 1 Nob box, 1 Trukk box, AoBR boss and some bits from ebay?

Well in this case 8 Nob bikers and a biker boss...

I started with the bikes....

First of is the Boss bike and a Nob bike.


It sits on a 10x5 cm base that I bought from microarts. It was rectangular from the beginning, I dremeled it to a oversized bike base.



The base will be added later.

I will make all the bikes first and then do the boss and nobs. More detail will be added later to the bikes when I place the riders later, depending of type of gear.

Ooh the second bike has tracks. I like

So far really good work. Will all bikes have micro art bases?

That second bike is awesome! Really liking the look of it.

Ayup, those are looking pretty good so far

Well 2 more bikes done, and the Boss bike have been redone after my last bits came from a ebay shop.

Boss bike redux


Nob bike 2

The rider of this bike will probably need a gas mask : )

Nob bike 3




Next up is a bike with a sidecar for the ammo runt.

Very nice work!

They only come in WFB cavalry bases, not the 40k bike variant. Dont know if I want to dremel another 8 of them....

Any CC would be nice when they are still unprimed.

That sidecar bike have slow progress. Had to scratch build the sidecar and I have redone the sidecar like 5 times....

Interesting waiting to see how the Nobz look but good job so far.

Wow! They are more junky than... anything! So much scrap glued, nailed, screwed and rivited together to create a twisted pile of metal and tank carcas in the general shape of a bike... and it's so beautiful!

Ok, quick update.




The sidecar bike is almost ready. Need som more sanding and gapfilling.



This bike only have minor conversions, needed an easy bike after the sidecar : ) ....

Wow, nice wheels! Great bikes, all around. That grot looks so excited to be riding in the sidecar, too. I love it.

Will definately be revisiting here when I ever get on to my bikes!

Lookin good and orky! I think the bike in pic #2 has a goofy back wheel thingy though. I think one of those sidecars would look much better there. BTW your sidecar thingy is utterly bitchin!

Ok, modelling is finished. The handle bars are not yet attached to the riders. I plan to paint the riders and bikes separetly.
I magnetized all weapon choices but I only show the smaller ones in the pictures, the kombi weapons obscure the rest of the model. The Waaagh banner and boss pole can be switched between the bikes.

CC very welcome!

That's just sick dude. I'm NOT looking forward to facing these dudes. :-D

Awesome work. Looking forward to the paintjob.

Beautiful work. That's what I call some mad converting.

So this is what you get if you combine Orks, Mad Max and Full Throttle. Beautiful, mad and awesome.
Can't wait to examinie them up close.

Thanks for the feedback...
Just tried my spraygun.... Never used it before, but I managed to basecoat all bikes and all weapons in just 10 minutes... The coat is very thin, would have taken me very long time to brush that paint on...
To bad I have painted all.... like 15 tanks and all terrain already, would have been so much more fun to do it with a "wannabe air brush".

Bikes look totally awesome. Great conversion and modelling job. Keep up the great work.

Well, started with the Boss biker... Still WIP, basecoat and wash added and some drybrush. Will continue to pick out details and and more shading. The skin came out bad, need to redo that.

jesus christ dude, these are f'ing cool, awesome awesome work !

You have inspired me to look into getting a set of bikers for my ork army. I hope they turn out half as good as these.

Really, some cool minis, and the paint job looks awesome!

I love the use of the drywall, taps, sinks whatevery they are called. Adds a cool texture to the bike.

Ok, they are done.... except for varnish....
I only attached the smaller weapon choices in order to show the bike and rider och not a giant big choppa or kombi weapon....

Pain boy.... unfortunately I managed to break the 'urty syrige when I picked up the model.....

CC welcome...

amazing, makes me wanna finish my nob bikers !! they've been half built for bout 6months lol

I'm seriously impressed here. Those are fantastic conversions and the paintjob is sharp too. I'd love to see more of your Orks.

They all look smashing. I especially like the one with the sidecar. The Waagh banner is putting me off a bit though, is the yellow some sort of pattern or are you going to add some text or?

Will enjoy looking at them across the table (maybe not so much when they smash into my lines but you can't get everything)

Thanks for the feedback

Its the ork glyph for Waaagh!

First off, I LOVE the way you mounted "Nob #1" to the base. Seriously Orky & amazingly funny.

As for your Pain Boy... You have a lot of options for replacing the needle on the syringe.
The first thing that comes to mind is a very small diameter paperclip. Clip it off to size, drill a hole in the syringe, insert.

Another possibility is a stick pin or needle. Heat it up (so the plastic melts), then stick the SHARP END down into the syringe. Then, if using a pin, clip off the tip.

Just thoughts.

man those bikes are so cool good work
