So, I play a mechanized sisters of battle force and i want seraphim, but they don't necessarily fit the mechanized style.

i just wanna see what the general opinion would be if i put sisters on some jetbikes, or something as count as seraphim?

just would like to get an opinion from the masses, thanks a lot guys

alternate ideas also appreciated.

You would need to convert it away from Eldar, but yeah, go for it! It sounds cool.

If you can dig up the old SM jetbikes they would be awesome!

I saw some conversions for Dark Angel Jetbikes and was thinkng something similar to that, not like the eldar ones, i would just need to find some fitting head really, oh and add boobs to the marines.

i was planning on the marine style and i was gonna convert the pistols on the front to represent the seraphim weapons (bolt pistols, infernos pistol, hand flamer etc)

im thinking Space Marine Chaplin on bike and convert the chaplin because you'll have to get rifd of the head

I think it's a great idea.

There are some great jetbike conversions out there.

Check this one out:

I think sisters on Jetbikes would be fantastic!

Whoa! that jetbike tutorial was awesome! Im totally bookmarking that page

omg that tutorial is awesome, if i cover it in fleur de lys it'll fit nicely.

expect to see my work start in a while, i can mount them on small flying bases too to keep the base size relatively the same as the actual seraphim.
i'm excited to have a canoness and some seraphim floating around the table on some sweet bikes.

EDIT: Im pretty sure im gonna build them off of scout bikes, do the scout legs fit on marine bikes?

EDIT EDIT: Where can i get bitz other than bitzbox.co.uk, they don't have enough of the bits i need.

so i started the conversion for my 2nd canoness (count as Canoness w/ Jump Pack and 2x Inferno Pistols) with an old eldar jetbike i had today.

i'll have pictures of the progress so far tommorow hopefully if anyone cares

Looking forward to it!

Sounds cool.

I would use the dark angel special characters MK 14 imperial jetbike, converted of course

the problem with that is the cost, as i have to build 10 of them. I can get eldar jetbikes pretty cheap.

So where's the pics!?

I think a modified Jetbike without the cowling would be pretty good for them - they're small enough then that the figures aren't much bigger than a normal one.

Kind of like a girly "moped" version of the jetbike!

;-)

ok, so today was pretty hectic and i wasn't able to get them today. (Girlfriend sick, runnning around trying to meet a kid to trade tau)

I'll have pics tommorow fo' definite.
the main chassis is just about done i just got an extra canoness body today that i'll be able to cut up and use.

please stay tuned and it shall be delivered.

Skyboards.... always the answer in my book :-)

If that is the case put lots of whacky aquila's, etc on them, becuase the only known jetbike still in (very limited) use is the MK 14.

It would look great but bikes raise a characters toughness by 1, unless your friends change the points around they'lle just be kickass looking sisters. This conversion reminds me of my IG raptor riders a few years back.

You lie, heretic!

Sorry for the delay guys, real life gets in the way of the fun stuff.



it's a work in progress and tonight im doing the head,body, and other tailpipe.

lots of greenstuff and bits needed. Comments and Ideas are Appreciated!


Thanks Guys!

looking good! You have now fallen back in the good graces of the Emperor!

That's a nice broad area to put the symbol, too.

Looks like a male torso though. whats the plans for continuation and imperiafying (i coined that - use it wisely)?

Personally, I think it looks too bulky.

Getting rid of the large cowling area would allow it to be seen as avoiding the whole meta-game bike/toughness issue and would look more girly - as with the exhaust as well - looks orky rather than girly right now.

I may be just transpositioning my expectations of chicks on bikes should be riding mopeds onto your model however!

;-)

haha, well it's a canoness' bike so i wanted it to be bigger, the rest of the seraphim are gonna be smaller. It's still got a lot more work to go.

Not sure if it's what your lookin for but the design is deffinatley feminine lookin. But it is for SIsters so that prolly works better hehe.

The execution is good, but the front end looks really weird to me - somehow the thought of putting the bottom end of a bell on the front end of a jetbike just doesn't sit right with me. Terrific modeling, though!
