Well here the completed conversion for my biker warboss. I had a heck of a time finding a spot for the attack squig, but I like how this turned out.

The parts used were an oldschool warbike, one of the new warbikes, AOBR warboss, oldschool squig, and just a hint of plasticard.

Let me know what you think.

**Orkeosaurus**

He looks pretty mean.
I think the squig turned out well, and he adds some character to the model that would otherwise have been lost by covering up the warboss's face.

**Orlanth**

It looks like he has an orky version of the sleeping masks you get on airlines. it does niot look like the mask holes correspond with his eyes.

Paintjob might fix that if the eyeslits as contrasting enough.

**CaptainRavenclaw**

I think he's great, I was gonna do the same thing with that mask, to convert up a boss to some black orcs/ard boyz when i mix two boxes of orks to make tougher orks.

The hardest thing when converting a warboss on bike is to make the model bigger and more imposing than your other warbikes so he really stands out. I think you did a good job.

now get it painted!!!

ps...how come your green stuff is brown??

**Jayden63**

Two part epoxy resin comes in lots of colors. You have your typical GW supplied putty which we affectionately call Green stuff, but the putty I used this time around is brown. I also use some putty for my resin figures that comes out grey. They all act a little differently, but ultimatly the end result is the same. Some cure faster, some are easier to sand, etc.

Often, the putty I use is determined by what color I'm going to prime the figure. If I prime black, I don't mind using brown or green. But If I'm priming white, I use my Tamiya brand putty which is a soft grey.

lol
the mouth or mork?

i truly love the helmet. awesome stuff.

**Cheese Elemental**

What is the helmet from? I looks like I should invest in one...

**RGJ798**

Nice work, really like the addition of the squiggly lizard [as my friend alls it]

**JD21290**

i like it

the squig steals the show though

cheese, helmet comes from the bike sprue, its part of one of em.

**Llamahead**

Well done it's good and effective how did you get the warboss to sit?

**Jayden63**

The AOBR warboss fits just fine on the bike. I had to dremel away the loincloth and just a bit of surrounding plastic. I then cut off his feet and reattached them facing more forward than pointed out. He has a pin going right up his butt and through the bike seat. He actually sits pretty well. The toughest part was getting his right hand onto the handle bar.

**KingCracker**

yea i think your boss is pretty sweet. the only thing that bugs me with all the AOBR bosses on bikes is almost noone moves the PK to make it look better. but i love the mini. as for the helm, i think it looks great! the eyes holes are a real BISH to do on orks. i put some masks on my Ard boyz and i made the first one where the eye holes DID set right over the orks eyes but on the mask the eyes looked to smashed together. so the i remade them to look better on the mask. what can ya do lol

**Llamahead**

Great thanks a lot saves me buying the warhammer warboss or does it?

**Sicarius**

This is a good conversion. I like the sqiug on the front, lol. Can't wait to see this fully painted

**Orkeosaurus**

What if the boss is blind? And his squig is a seein-i-squig?

**ALIi B**

great head and squig

**CaptainRavenclaw**

Have you seen the new resin warboss on bike on forgerworld.co.uk ?? it is a whole new league of beastyness!! your one is cool too though.

**Jayden63**

I've seen it, unfortunately FW is stupidly expensive. I much rather look at what people have made using their own materials and normal bits that are available to everyone.

**CaptainRavenclaw**

True, I aint got money to burn. Base your boss up well and get painting it!!

**RiTides**

I love seeing these things pre-paint so that you can see how everything went together

awesome conversion! Post more pics when it sees paint too

**typhus**

**CaptainRavenclaw**
