Recently decided to include a pack of Swiftclaw in my army, but wanted to do something a little more interesting with them. Here is the first of the group!

Jealous that Horus is Warmaster







Don't own the SW codex so no idea on the rules for these guys but this one looks like a crazy b*****d!

Very smart paintjob and the pose doesn't look awakward or anything so I'd say good job!

On a level-headed note though I'm not sure what speed a bike must be capable of to drag an 8 foot superhuman in power armour around like a rag doll though!

Thank you much for the response! Truly, he is making good use of the "turbo boost" that comes with bikes!

Cheers!

I can imagine him bailing off his bike at breakneck speed and just ploughing headfirst into the first thing he can!

Man, must be one very fast bike! Looks cool.

This is indeed interesting. All this needs is a scared looking Xenos (alien?) who is about to get its head cut off. This is Sparta!

Nice job!

The only thing I am not floored by is the snow. Although in your defense snow is very hard to do well.

Yeah, right now I'm simply using the texture paint by Citadel, but would be more than open for snow suggestions!

Cheers!

All i know is it is a good thing he has a ceramite cod piece for the re-mount. Very amusing. You do need something fleeing in front of him. A pack of scared gretchin perhaps?

Great modelling and paint job. Really fun and imaginative.

On a side note my friends and I refer to that as a flying V and its when you hit a bump on your motorcycle and it bounces your butt into the air.

Great job! Captures the spirit of the army to be sure. Look out for those that want to deny you cover because of you're "imaginitive" posing though :-p

Haha, he looks like he's clinging onto his bike for dear life!

Excellent pose

Excellent paint job as well. The snow on the wheels is a bit off in my opinion since on a bike it wouldn't be that thick, but that is a pretty minor detail
