Just wanted to hear some feedback, because I am thinking about converting a Orc warboss on a boar to an Ork warboss on a Bike, I was just going to throw him on a normal bike wasnt sure if I was going to run into some size difference problems with the bike and the warboss, thanks for the feedback

Ignoring the size of the boss, a normal ork bike may look a bit small and weedy. A more impressive bike could be converted (e.g. from a Deffcopta or a Wartrakk), or a marine/chaos bike could be looted, depending on your army fluff.

But a bigger problem will be the leg and arm positions of the boss - regardless of size, you'll almost certainly need to do some cutting and filling to get him to properly sit on any bike and get at least one hand on the handlebars.

Of course, you could just leave him on the boar, and have it count-as a bike - especially if he's from the Snakebite Clan.

Inline with Clang's suggestion you could convert the Boar into a Cyboar like Frawg is doing:

I used an AoBR warboss for mine, and the only cutting I did was to remove the loincloth. I plonked him on the bike before attaching the handlebars and used the interior readout panel from a land raider to outfit his bike with a command readout. I also used the wheels from a big gun kit to bulk out the rear of the bike along with some trophies and such to generally make it look more impressive. It does look a bit crowded, but it works.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
