As soon as i got back from vacation, i immediately started to work on my next model, the Ravenwing Librarian.
I wanted to break out of the standard, and i decided to create a jetbike instead of a regular motorcycle ...
I opened one of the three boxes of bits looking for an idea to start the project...
...and the first thing i noticed was the frame of a Dark Eldar Jetbike so i decided to start this mad project :)
Since the frame was very short i cut the air intake in order to add other components, and make the model a little bigger...
After i've built all main components i fixed everything with adhesive mastic to see how it looks and i added some details and purity seals
(i didn't take pictures but for the rear engine i used a space marines jump pack)
...and that's the result!!!
Now it's time to paint! :D
Thanks for reading!!!!! :)
wow, great conversion! Very good ideas! You inspired a follow dark angel player ^^
ReplyDeleteBut I got a question for you, how can you stay that "loyal" to your Dark angels in the face of the new sm codex ? I have a hard time not to put them on ebay and invest in a new army.
Hey Thank you!!!
DeleteActually I painted almost all the armies of warhammer 40k space marines included :)
So once the Ravenwing is completed, I believe that I will continue to paint my Salamanders :)

ReplyDeletePS: do not sell the DAs or the Lion will have his revenge XD
:D Thank you!!!
DeleteSure you can! ....and let me see how it went!!! :D
Hey just wanted to know what model u used for the torso and legs? Was it the regular ravenwing biker model with the only change being the head?
ReplyDeleteHEY! :)
DeleteI used a Grey Knight torso and Ravenwing Sergeant legs.(i also glued a Dark Angel icon to the torso!)
Thx I'm looking to do a similar thing with a librarian on a bike but didn't want to buy a standard librarian figure and butcher it
