Hey, guys.

I desperately need scout bikes, but they've been sold out for months.

Any ideas, tips, tricks or shots of having converted them?

Blood Angels, Custodes, Tzeentch, Alpha Legion, Astra Militarum, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, Imperial Knights, Tau, Genestealer Cult.

I have a problem.

Being contrary for the sake of being contrary doesn't make you unique, it makes you annoying.

What bits do you have at your disposal, and what level of uniformity would you like?

I'd be after pretty intense uniformity. I can't handle my models not matching.

I am, essentially, willing to obtain whatever I need to obtain to make it work.

Fire away, my friend.

Blood Angels, Custodes, Tzeentch, Alpha Legion, Astra Militarum, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, Imperial Knights, Tau, Genestealer Cult.

How deep of a conversion/creation you willing to go?

I was thinking..just creativity at work..

front fork: 2x Crisis suit antennas
chassis: two upside down kataphron heavy arch rifles
seat: draconis dragon lord seat back layed horizontally
rear fork: tomb blade weapon mounts
rear wheel wheel faring : ironclad dreadnought leg plates
front wheel faring: leviathan dreadnought knee plate
and bitzbox has SM handlebars in stock..
That'll give them uniformity in model composition...

Then whatever you're "unhappy with" showing" ad 28mm storage/saddlebags or even shielding from dreads/knights w/ iconography.

if you want the engine slightly revealed under the seat (suppose it can also act as a support for the front of the seat) two upturned SM backpacks chopped in half

I think the bikes are the easy bit to be honest. It's the scout riders that will be hard to match against normal scouts. How wedded to GW models are you?

I think we have different definitions of "straight forward"

lmao....I was looking for the "simple answer"..but there are zero bikes i'm seeing ANYWHERE.. attack bikes scout bikes regular bikers...And the idea of making a xenos bike to work under the everlasting gaze of the emperor is awful......So the only possible answer is... "MAKE IT"
