I've had the urge to convert a Space Wolf character into a White Scars character and to me it seems that Canis would be the best choice.

I'm a bit stumped as to what I should do for it though. As of now all I know for certain is that I'm going to use a Chaos Marauder Horseman head and probably 2 Ogre swords to represent his wolf claws. The rest of him however is up in the air especially a suitable mount, I suppose I could make some sort of super bike but I'm thinking maybe some kind of enhanced giant cyborg horse or maybe some kind of creature that he tamed on an alien world (something like a dragon horse, maybe a Tibetan lion type creature) so this is where I need the most suggestions.

Well any ideas? any comments on the conversion itself?

And if anyone has any ideas on turning other characters into White Scars characters I'm all ears (like turning Arjac Rockfist into the Great Khans personal bodyguard named _______ The Unbending Mountain, or Njal Stormcaller into a Stormseer, or maybe Sgt Telion into some great hunter)

Oh and maybe Ragnar could be some martial arts master who constantly trains and tests himself

Could always go for the Old One on carnosaur from the Lizardmen range and jam a Marine on that.

That dosen't exactly fit the whole asian/mongol aesthetic

Perhaps the mechaical steed for the empire range

No I think you would be better of with a pimped bike. Remember the rules for canis dont specify what bonuses comes from the steed and what the marine has to begin with, so you could basicly say the steed /bike has nothing to do with increased stats.
Perhaps get some ork bikes to set apart "TW bikes" from ordinary marine bikes?

riding a big tiger would be cool, great painting opportunity aswell could look amazing. also fits with the asian/mongol aesthetic.

@Fayric: I don't think that the Engineers clockwork horse would be big enough plus it's a metal model that would need a lot of cutting and GS work to remove the riders legs and other unwanted bits. If I did a horse it would probable be from a Chaos Knight or maybe a Bretonian knight.

@BAN: A tiger would work, it's not exactly mongolian but it is asian. I think some type of a big cat would work really well though and I could use the HE Chracian Lion as the basis.
