is there any official gw art out there with farseers on jetbikes? I was thinking of converting one but I was thinking that a farseer probably wouldn't be wearing a cloak while on a jetbike (it would be incredibly annoying).

There is this one, kinda...


... and that seems to be it from Google Image Search.

ya its not really what I was looking for lol but thanks

No, because while it's codex-legal, it's fluff-breaking - Farseers are half crystallised, in no fit state to be charging around on bikes.

Nope, no official model for Farseer or Warlocks on jetbikes. Simplest conversion is to snip the head off the rider and replace it. If you search the gallery here or even google image search you can see some pretty snazzy conversions. Its all a matter of how skilled you are or how many bits you want to put into the project.

The half crystallised is only half-true.

Whilst it is probably true that they all crystallise and set up root in the domes of crystal seers at some point, they don't ALL start out that way. There's bound to be a period where they are still flesh and blood, and whilst stuck on the witch path, aren't fully gone yet.

A Sam-hainn Jetseer or two seems to make sense. I couldn't imagine either of mine (Uthwe) on a bike, though.

I agree with the latter. If anything the part about being half-crystallized might be the part that is un-fluffy (if that is a newly-invented part of the Eldar fluff- I'm not actually sure), as Jetbike Farseers have existed in the Eldar codex as far back as 2nd edition, mid-90's. They could be put on a fighting platform on the back of a Falcon instead of the weapon turret. A pretty cool option that I always wonderd why it went away, other than the Saim-Hann "Nuadhu Fireheart" character in 3rd edition. He was pretty awesome, but was more of an "Autarch before they existed" character.

I overstated once again. I would think it would be quite infrequent, but that it would happen.

No, the half-crystallised bit is from 2e as well. :p

Huh. I must have forgotten that it's that old. So the two things are pretty much the same age, then.

If Farseer's are nimble enough to speed-blitz Space Marines, they're fit to ride a jetbike.

edit- Besides, the crystallization is a gradual process. The process occurs over the course of centuries.
