I was thinking of making some biker marines themed after the Polish winged hussars, I'm just seeing if anyone has advice.
Where should I look for bitz for the distinctive wings? How about those animal pelts?

Four scholars at Oxford were making their way down the street, and happened to see a group of ladies of the evening. “What’s this?” said the first. “A jam of tarts?” “Nay,” said the second, “an essay of Trollope’s.” “Rather, a flourish of strumpets,” advanced the third. “No, gentlemen,” concluded the last. “Here we have an anthology of pros.” |

Looking at raven wing would be a good start, the bike models for them actually have the wing on the back of the bike.
Other places I'd look are similar scale kits of winged hussars and stealing their wings.

There used to be some old empire knights that had wings like the ones you are looking for. Alternatively, look to some of the historical plastics manufacturers and see if anyone is making Winged Lancer kits

What about using the wingy bitz from the Sanguinary Guard kits? Or, alternatively, the Scourge wings? (That's SUPER- DE-DOOPER expensive though, depending on how many you make...)

I'd just use the Dark Angels ravenwing bits too then maybe use some of those sanguinary guard wings for sergeants and the like as those wings should fit under normal backpacks too and plenty of people don't use them, just the jump packs on their own.
Of course you could also make your own by converting the bike standards such as cutting the eagle head off and attaching them directly to the marine.

This to me sounds like ultramarines (fancy gold gloryboys) meet white scars (love to ride) meet dark angles (love excessive and obstructive regalia)...
ravenwing with white scar upgrades look like a must mate...

It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from. |
