I am planning to convert space marine scout bikes into DKOK scout bikes. I've noticed that the scout bite legs are relatively useful in doing this, but what DKOK torsos would anyone recomend? I was considering using death rider bodies! Thoughts?

I would be concerned that the DKOK bodies would be rather too slender for the Scout legs. Maybe try Eldar legs and bulk them up a bit with GS? Also how do you fit a gas mask to a bike?

Even the actual scout legs? I'm talking the non armored ones. As for the gas mask, the canister is located behind the head in the nape of the neck area. If that becomes an issue, I can attach an air scrubber somewhere on the bike itself and add a hose of some sort.

For the legs, maybe use the Ravenwing biker legs, converted to look less armoured?

I would check out the "Death riders" I think thats what they are called. They are the DKoK mounted horse riders. They have to be pretty close to something for a bike mount.

The death rider legs may work, with a little cutting, I'm not sure if they're at the correct angle for a bike. could cut the scout legs off at the knees just for the angle. May have to use Green Stuff for the coat!
