I've been looking into making some custom Ravenwing bikers for a fallen dark angels army. For the army I wanted to go for a man/beast look all around, but still I am unsure as to how I will be able to make bikers.
Here are a few ideas for mounts I've been looking at but I don't know if they would be the right size.

http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/skeletal%20dragon/sku-down/03644#detail/03644_w_1 This is a really cool model and I could love to have a dragon riding army, but I don't know if the models the right size for it.

These two look like they would be the right size for bikes and could work overall

Or I could use the bottom half of these for a centaur-esque look that I would also like

I'm not the best of converter but you have to start somewhere.Really I'm wondering if any of these ideas would work at all. Feel free to give me any more thoughts if you'd like; anything you can come up with is welcome.
Thanks

I have a bunch of chaos centaur bikers that I used chaos knight horses, and space marine torsos for. Bit of greenstuff to join them together, and presto.

Sounds like a great idea. If I had to choose from those I would suggest the second one. Looks like it has the room to actually hold a model on the back.

Deffinatley like the first two models, perhaps a mix of them in a squad?

Thanks for the reply, those centaurs look great, just ordered 5 with marine torsos and what-not, can't wait to get to work on them.
Looking through more models I'm thinking of using the lower half of a dragon ogre http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440026a&prodId=prod1870056a&rootCatGameStyle=
and upper half terminator for attack bikes, any thoughts on how that would work?
