What's different about this one from the old one is pretty evident, I moved the gun to the underside, and magnetized it. I can swap it out with a Reaper launcher if I wish. I put the Dire Avenger camera thing on the hood, and put a shield I found in an old bitz box up there too. I had to round out the edges to make it look better, and it was very tricky getting it to stay on the curved hood.
I also replaced the wings with that weird symbol thing that comes with the Dire Avengers. I cut off the staff and such, and just kept the shape. I filled in the details with greenstuff, but I want to go over it and create new detail on top.
If you look carefully, underneath the wings there's a round bit from a grav-tank. I stuck that underneath because this jetbike is missing its wings (that's why I had to create my own). I stuck that bit under there to make it less plain, as there's only a piece of plasticard covering the gaps.
I like it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not 100% sold on the jetbike Autarch, but your conversion is pretty sweet. It'll stand out from the rest of the bikes in the army with the custom wings and the 'hood ornaments', as it were.
I do like the underslung Fusion Gun, and while the placement is logical I can see some people moaning that they can't see it. That's when you point it out, and say conversion > complaints.
