I am going to start and Ork bikker mob army and I am planning on doing a Wazdakka conversion. I was curious if anyone had some advice or tips for doing this conversion. Pitures would be the best if anyone has any. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

you can always refer to the picture and description of wazdakka in the codex, and i think there was a pretty nifty model in latest GD awards, hope that helped
and dont forget about the flaming skullz

cheers,

There is a small picture of wazdakka but it isn't much to go on, plus seeing other peoples work allows me to get a better idea on how to attempt something. You don't happen to have a link to that GD entry you were talking about do you? I can promise you the skulls will not be forgotten.

Waz needs the biggest bike in the whole army, so your first issue is what to base your conversion on. The standard warbike isn't impressive enough, although there are quite a few things you can do with it (such as a trike/quad conversion) I think they're more suitable for nobs.

I have seen some conversions of chaos/loyalist bikes, whci could be fine if you have lots of looted stuff in your army.

Personally I'd use either the old wartrakk model, or the new deffkopta -both are bike shaped and nice and big, but both require some serious work for adding a wheel or two

sorry i cant find it but it was a converted ork biker on master of ravenwings jetbike just orkified, ill try again

w00t found it, http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?categoryId=300002&pIndex=5&aId=9700007&start=6 its pretty cool

I'd use a toy motorcycle as the base and some wheels from those 'bling bling' car kits you can find at Walmart.

i.e. I'd put alot of effort into it, or very little and not worry about it.

A Deffkopta is a fine idea, but everyone will be doing that shortly. lol

Thats an incredile version I see what you mean. I don't think I can do something that cool, also I never really saw his bike being a hover bike lol. I do not however like the gun they have in the GD one it is too small for the despription thats why I am kind of thinking of using a normal bike but heavily modding it with orky bits and a monster engine on the back but have the cannon be converted from the Tau Ion cannon since I have one of those bits lying around.

I may not be able to do the skulls I cannot find anything on the right scale, and I am not talented enough with GS to make realistic flame =/
