I would like to ask you to check if my Ork on warbike are legit.

Legit in what respect?

I presume "would tournaments approve" - of which the only answer can be: ask the organiser

From my perspective they look fine -about th eright size, tl big shoota included, etc.

Might help if the title was changed to "Modeling for Advantage Check".

Thank! I've change the title.

Yeah it was for event I will going in two weeks.

I see GW models on a GW wartrakk (which is smaller than GW Bikes) looks good all I see are disadvantages on the height ..looks kool ..has about the same area on the side as a GW nob biker ..just a tad harder to hide behind terrain ..but easier to shoot past cause its not as long as a gw bike) ..

So in short no advantage here so long as it is one bike

that is represented by each wartrakk

Only one answer: ask your tournament organizer.

TO's may have issue with it being a Wartrakk counting as biker, but other than that about right on size.

Thank everybody.

If anyone want to have a check, welcome to post in here.

I love the concept! Like a Warboss mini-chariot. And why the hell wouldn't a Boss make someone else drive, so he can focus on shooting and killing instead! Personally, I would get that gunner out of the way though and mount the shootas somewhere else.

I assume the "advantage" is he is taller for line of sight purposes? If so just say his gun counts as the height of the handle bar or whatever the actual point would be (he's not a vehicle though so gun=head).

For movement, just be clear if he is based larger than life so that max coherency needs to be observed at 1.5" (or whatever) for him. And understand you will be "clipped" by blasts a tad more often.

I was wondering can you model for disadvantage? Not that one would really want to i was just curious if it was one of those weird cracks in the system that aren't really covered because no one would want to do it in the first place kind of deal?

As long as you don't have any they war tracks it should be fine. I did something similar (aobr boss, deffkopta, war bike and wartrakk) and people loved it.

I like it, and it looks perfectly reasonable. I'd keep a real bike on hand to resolve any LOS disputes, though. My only problem is that you didn't drill out the exhausts or gun barrels!

There is no Citadel Miniature for a Warboss on Bike, therefore you cannot field one ever.

But seriously, compare your model to the gigantic Forgeworld Biker Boss, who is nearly three 40mm bases long.



I think you're just fine.

nobody mentioned the banana for scale?

Is it supposed to be a boss? If there's no model for it, then that is even more fine than it was before.

Haha! I didn't noticed banana in background!
I am glad there are no mirror :p

Yeah, it would be better if I still a hole in gun barrels and exhaust.

About blast, I will tell my opposite player that as long if any template got touch any of this model I would say it count as hit.
Like front wheel where grot drive the bike would die from blast and nobody drive the bike and warboss take a wound. Simple.

Yeah there is no Citadel Miniature for a warboss on bike but you can use Nob on bike kit and kit bash it to made nob 'warboss' theme.

Aye it would be smaller than forgeworld warboss on bike, but it look awesome.

As long as my custom warboss on bike are boss, yep.

When Necrons got a chariot, i wanted an option for Warboss / Big Mek to have one - like the old epic Nob Trikes.

But going back to post - I would be happy to play against that Warboss

In general, the only advantage you could possibly gain is a slight base size increase. Otherwise there's nothing really wrong with the conversion, though it is lazy.

While I agree that it is a simple conversion, I don't think it is lazy. Some folks just aren't as inspired at converting as others.

My bikeboss is, as I mentioned, very similar. It certainly wasn't lazy.

It's just a AOBR warboss on the back of an un-altered warbuggy. Functional, but nothing else.

The gun could have been removed, or reworked slightly into the model, leftover grots could be used on the model for orky effect, it could have some waagh! banners on it or other orky stuff.

It's me saying "you can do better solidcrash"

He did head swap the driver/gunner to grots. I do agree he could do more, but some folks aren't big converters.

Yeah height are the issue then I better remind myself do not take a cover in 30mm high cover. For my good sportsman I better allow my opposite to shoot me with cover save allow and I do not shoot back.

This me 10 min kit bash at club while I am fixed my greentide ork. Once it is confirm that it is not modelling for advantage.
Then my warboss on bike will go on painting and modelling topic instead of in here.
About biker driver. Nope I haven't replace head yet. It is test so I just add greenstuff leftover on mini Ork nose!

If you want to lower him, you can always use a hole saw drill bit to cut out a chunk for him to get on - like a big kick scooter, but I don't see a need as long as you pre announce heights.

Actually, let me just post my Warboss on Bike, next to Warboss, Nobbiker, and Warbiker, for comparison. People give good comments in general regarding his size. He is easily picked out as the Warboss, as he is bigger than the rest. The larger base is justified as he is 40mm based without even armour, so giving him a 40mm-equiv bike base seemed to be OK, and nobody has any complaints against it. Yes, that is a trike.

Hah! Same warboss from black reach!
This is good example.

Any one want to talk about modelling for advantage, here you can start or carry on in here. Two topic in one.

Abide by "The Rule of Cool™" man...

It's cool and an obvious attempt of creative modeling.

No worries really, but as other said, just as the TO.
