Hi All,

Does anybody know if the forgeworld nob bikers have options for different weapons, like a powerclaw perhaps? Are the arms glue on type things so I could switch out the arms for powerklaws or big choppas? One of them seems to have both hands on the handlebars, are the hands seperable from the handlebars easily?

Anybody know how big these things are compared to normal bikes?

Thanks,
~Dave

Here is a pic from the FW warboss biker that shows him next to the Nob biker that is next to the normal biker.

"This set contains enough parts to make three Nob Warbikes. Many of the Warbike parts are interchangeable. The set includes three Ork Nob Warbike riders. Complete resin and plastic kits. Models designed by Will Hayes and Mark Bedford."

Arms appear to be 'glue on type things'



There appear to be three weapon types: choppa, slugga and holding handle bars, so you would need to supplement that with the normal warbiker kit for power klaws.


Hands appear to be separate from handlebars:


They use the base warbike kit and add on, so you can infer from the gun and wheel fork in this picture real size:

If my ork bikes looked like these I'd play my orks more; but I have the super-old looking bikes.

Biggest problem with these is the amount of cutting up of the plastic bikes that you have to do to make these things.

you mean these things are a conversion kit to the original bikes? I was thinking the kit came with everything and you wouldn't have to buy the base bikes as well.

Would sort of make it not really worth it if you have to buy the bike kit separately.

No, you get everything you need. It's not a conversion set.

"Complete resin and plastic kits. "

You do still use the original bikes as part of the process though.
