My wife is looking at putting together a HQ selection for her eldar army that includes a unit of warlocks with a far seer on jet bikes. I have been on the GW website and have seen the normal jet bike models but have seen none for the far seer/ warlocks. Is there a site that sells these items or is she going to have to kit bash them. If she has to kit bash them what do you recommend I use?

I apologize if this topic is somewhere in the forums already as I am doing this post on my phone. Thank you in advance for any advice you have!

Theres no real easy way to do the farseer and warlocks on JBs. Finecast Farseer and warlocks box is a good start with a jewlers saw. I happen to think the parts out of the dire avenger kit especially the exarch head and spear are a good start. Then you can add robes.
Good Luck.

GW offers no model for this essential unit for years.
The Chapterhouse conversion kit is the easiest option and good looking.
Other options are using jetbikes by other companies and a kitbashed or Chapterhouse rider. A specal idea is using the Battlefleet Gothic Iyanden ships, carve out the seat and use it as deluxe Farseer jetkikes with sails.

That's the best typo ever. Farseers on flying Jews.

Does anyone have a bigger image of how a finished CH conversion looks? the one on their website only shows the separate parts, and not the finished product if you click view larger image.

chapter house studios would be your best bet. i have actually used the conversion kit and am very happy with how they turned out. they are defiantly worth it. on a plus side it beats using the heavy weapon platform base as the jetbike like most players.

One possibility that I quite like and have seen made to good success is to use the Weapon Platforms that come with Guardians as "bikes" that you can put the regular Farseer and Warlock models on, with no converting needed. They would look like cool surf boards of a sort. Of course, might look a TAD awkward if you actually run those same weapon platforms in Guardian squads.

Guardian: "Excuse me, my lord...but can you get off the platform, we need to prepare the Bright Lance for war..."

Farseer: "I've forseen I'm gonna rock some major waaaaves, Brah! Righteous!"

The correct question is, would I be enjoying this hobby if I did this?

The correct audience is you.
