Chapterhouse New Release - Javelin Class Jet Bike

[wittdooley]

Dude,if you buy some from him I'll ship you a few torsos. I have about 85 of them sitting in my bitz box. I'll even throw in some heads and backpacks too.

Oh now that is cool. I'll definitely be buying a few of these, probably for some mounted Sisters conversions. The front of the bike has a nice gothic feel to it that seems like it would suit Sisters.

Any chance of seeing some Sisters-like models from Chapterhouse? I know their codex is awful but lots of people collect the models and CHS wouldn't have much competition . . . GW's models are old, outdated, and expensive.

All good things, yadda yadda

Out of curiosity, were it to have wings, where would you propose they go?

Just small ones, somewhere at the back ether above or below the engines, or both.

This.

Actually, I think a setup like the stabilizers on current Land Speeders would make the bikes look a lot better.

Not exactly like them, mind you.
Like, a single vertical fin on the back, and some fins on the side/bottom like those on the rear of a speeder.

I like the design but feel it is just a bit too much like a GW Bike. In fact I had to get out a SM bike to convince you didn't use a GW model and add a few bits. Also making the legs and arms, which are a very good replica of Marine parts, may be going a bit far. I would have made them compatible with SM biker legs/ arms and left them out of the kit.

I disagree.. Here are the GW Jetbike and Bike and ours. Having a back end, seat and side mounted thrusters is pretty much universal about all hover bike, jet bikes. It sounds like you are saying we are not allowed to implement those in our design because GW has done so before. That is a bit limiting..

I will also point out while ours has a control panel on his legs, you will notice it is not a copy, its actually different (for those who care about such minute detail).

Gotta agree with Nick. I think they're more than fine here. It's a Jetbike. TBH, It doesn't even look terribly similar to any of the jetbikes in the GW art, nor does it look that similar to the Raven Guard one.

Come on, Man.

[Morgan Darkstar]

It still needs wings tho.
