I've always had a fondness for power armour cavalry, for largely inexplicable reasons. In that vein, I bought Thunderwolf Cavalry solely to possess them, despite not playing Wolves, and when Skullcrushers came out, I had to figure out a way to shove them into 40k, as I do play Chaos. And as many others have considered, counts-as Bikes leapt out as an option. Here's my first attempt. I decided to circumvent the entire TL bolter issue by trading for the meltagun on this one. Keeping the pistol for +1A plays nicely with being blatantly khorne-marked as well. Any comments on how it looks, what could be done to improve it?

Just a little filing got the torso to sit cleanly, and the arms are just trimmed flat to be a contact point on the Marine torso.

I'm not a fan of Khorne, but that looks very good for a Khorne biker group. I've gone Nurgle chaos bikes and Slaanesh WoC Knight bikers, with some... striders? on the way too, probably for a slaanesh cavalry lord to give outflank.

You could try mounting a twin linked bolter inside the juggies mouth, on either side of the crest on its forehead, on the marines shoulder or hand held but the hand held melta works : )

I would just give each marine a hand-held twin bolter, like the Terminators have. I know I would count that as a perfectly acceptable twin-linked boltgun.

Or cut off the magazines of two bolters so they have a flat bottom (if you are an oldie think like the MK 1 Rhino bolters), and mount them on each 'Crushers head armor on either side of the crest, directly over the eyes.
