How would you model a SM captain with storm shield on a bike? I want him to be holding a melee weapon in one hand and one hand on the handlebar, otherwise i think it would look wierd. How would you do it?

Strap the shield to the arm holding the bike's handle bar.

I reckon go captain America style with the shield strapped to the front of the bike.

I feel like a store shield strapped to the backpack is also a good look

This is how I did it for my white scars chapter master. Looks pretty good.

I would actually replace the front of the bike's fairing.

I went with hanging it on the bike, for the one and only time I've had to do it so far...

This is the way I did mine. Started as a Dark Vengeance Sarge. He's been primed red but the build is there. I think I had to trim the bottom of the shoulder pad, and the top corner of the handlebar guard to make it mesh. It's not beautiful, if you look behind the shield, but I went for a "fore arm mounted shield" since he needs to hold the bike somehow.

Mount in on the bike, as per Jetek Suberei from the new deathwatch game.

I would love to see someone do a Captain America style shield conversion on a bike, that's a cracking idea.
