In the coming week or 2 i will be doing my first extensive conversion for me anyway,
and i need to know how to put

terminator lightening claws on bikers
and
terminator thunder hammers on bikers

without them looking silly and out of proporton

Firstly are the bikers standard marines?

if yes then it will be difficult as the weapons are huge compared to normal marines.The hammers will be the easiest as hammers are a great mounted weapon.My advice for the hammers is remove them from the arm at the wrist if at all possible.Any further up the arm will look out of place .Tried this before for a tech marine and he looked like pop eye .
Lightning claws ???? not sure how this is supposed to work how will they steer the bike ?, if your going to use just one claw per bike then i would buy the commander lightning claw from my website
www.bitsandkits.co.uk
this claw will fit the bikers and is the correct size for the model.
i would be willing to take your terminator lightning claw in trade if you would prefer not to spend any money
email me on
magunra@bitsandkits.co.uk
many thanks and i hope its some help

they don't steer with their crotches, i'm having 2 lightening claws on each standard marine bike

i play space wolves and so my body guards are on bike

on set will have a pair claws the other will have thunder hammers and bolt pistols

i cant find the commander lightening claw o nyour site but ive seen this pair i like. i can see the lightening claw left handed one

http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/shop/article_CT15/LIGHTNING-CLAWS-PAIR.html?shop_param=cid%3D1%26aid%3DCT15%26

but i think the lightening claws will be fine aslong as i can file them down to put shoulder pads on

yeah i think the thunder hammers will have to be removed from the wrist, any tips on which arm to use for attaching them to a biker, i want them so there swinging , to hit someone/ someones head or maybe lower

For Thunder hammers--the sergeant arm w/ chainsword on the Devastator sprue might be a good fit for it...

one thing to remember is that you need your right hand free to operate the throttle on the motorcycle... so keep that in mind for conversions, else it will look silly to those of us who ride/understand how to ride motorcycles

i don't need it free rules wise only in reality so i can still do it right ?

im also thinking of making a guy with 2 power fist pointing arms and make my own claws

<_< It's your model. Go nuts, I just made a Cybork out of a cupola for a Leman Russ, what appears to be some strange searchlight, again from the Russ sprue? It's angled and looks sort of like it has two lasguns <.<

And the top half of an Ork.

i plan on making

4-5 thunder hammer bikers with a axe or sword in the other hand

4-5 power claw bikers with 2 power claws each

2-3 independent characters

1 iron priest on bike
1 rune priest on bike
1 wolf priest on a bike
