Another blast from the past - Space Marine Quad Bikes were one of my most requested conversions back when I was doing commission work, but it was only after I stopped doing commissions (about 10 or 12 years ago now) that I finally got around to building one for myself! Painted with my usual 'not amazing but good enough for the table' gaming standard, for my Imperial Dragons Space Marine army.

I like that, it's a very cool conversion and the colour scheme is very fitting!

"Not amazing, but good enough for the table top"?
You're joking right? Or just being humble? The paint job is awesome! Very clean.
The conversion is cool too. Kinda wish the standard Attack bike looked like that

It's a good paint job that anybody should be proud of, but modesty is always appropriate.

Amen. It was meant as a double compliment, 1 for the paintjob and another for the modesty.

The only downside to this conversion is that it looks like it require 4 bikes to make.
I wonder if it would look a good with only 1 wheel in the rear, so you don't need to cannibalize 4 bikes to make just 1 Attack bike

Thanks, guys

And yes, this is the 'deluxe' version, needing 4 bikes to make the one quad. I did put together a slightly cheaper version using two bikes, (or, more precisely, one bike and an extra two wheels) for a convention seminar tutorial some years back, which wound up looking like this:




Comparison:

The "cheap" version still looks pretty good, but that front fork is painfully plain and really needs to be built up a bit. The rear "shelf" could do with some machinery or something too (maybe a shopping basket for quick runs to the grocery store?).

Very nice conversion. Really like the automated turret.

Yup, absolutely. It was put together as something that a relatively novice modeler could do with supervision in a 40minute tutorial session, so was deliberately a little plain, but would certainly benefit from some stowage or the like to hide the tubing a little.
