So I just recently completed my first chaos biker, an it was a bit of a challenge, but I pulled it off! Sure there are some mistakes that can be seen, but I am fairly proud of my biker.

Features include Word Bearers paint scheme, confiscated plasma rifle from a Space Marine, and freshly peeled human flesh for leather seating











Any advice to improve the next one I do?

Greetings, The orange rim is very bold.

Did You choose that rim color for a fire/lava base effect?

I like the armor color! It looks like what current 40K Word Bearers armor should look like.

You might use gap filer/green stuff on the back of the bike seat where the two sides are not joined snuggly.

Lastly, what color of Red/Purple did You use for the Armor?

Hey, thanks for the advice, I will try that!

As for your questions, the orange boarder is just a way to indicate which figure is my own, cause I go to a game shop that a number of Warhammer players frequently visit, so that is just a simple way of identifying my own units from other players, in cause I lose a unit.

As for the armor, the purple red comes from a pot of khorne red citadel paint. It was a old pot my pal gave to me to help me get started on painting, but I suspect he messed with it somehow, cause every time I stir up the paint to get the dry chuncks wet again, a different shade of red comes out.....

Great way to do your wordbearers!
The details on the handlebar look really nice, and I really like the plasma gun.
You might want to ad some wash or really watererd down black to the exhaust pipes to bring out the details though.

For what its worth, the bright orange base make the dark model stand out in a great way.
Good job!

Hey, thanks for the complements!

An I jumped on the exhaust pipes when you mentioned it, it wasn't a detail I was even thinking about! Gonna get those tips nice and gritty once I am done, since you pointed it out.
