It's not quite done, and the pics are with bad light (hence the blue tinge), but it IS the baddest Ork Bike this side of Badlanding.

The whole thing started when I thought, "Hey, that Tau Ion Cannon kinda looks like an engine block..." I pushed that idea deep into my subconcious hoping that I would never have to make something out of it.

Then Agatheron said to me: "I think it'd be a cool idea to make a Warboss on a bike."

Three weeks later...

The frame is handmade from solder wire. The rear tire was widened. The engine block is (as has been mentioned) a Tau Ion Cannon. The boss is from four different figs.

The magic number is 142, I believe. (That's how many parts in total.)

And he is still not done. I have to rip off the wiring and replace it with something that doesn't look like green snakes, finish the wires on his Power Klaw, and make a nifty base.

And even with all of that, Agatheron's bike is bigger...

Oh well, I can always make one with TWO engines!!

true, the paint work could be better but maybe it's cause of the pics and th ebad light. Anyway it's a terrific (not to mention very funny) job you've done here !!! Bravo !

Such a cool conversion (10)! The paintjob (6) is the only thing that brings the overall score down! Really great idea!

Nice concept but painting could be better and why I chose a 6 for a rating. Afterall there are about 4-5 categories to get the rating from and 1-2 pts for each category.

Absofrigginlutely ineffincredible! SO the painting could be a little better, but it's not like it's any deterrent to the appeal of the model. That's it. I just HAVE to make one myself. I'm really blown away, what'S cooler than a crazy ork on a crazy badass bike? This just LOOKs supa loud. What a way to portray orks. Genius I say! GENIUS!

Painting is average but who cares, the conversion is bad to the bone! One of the best I've seen.

Just a thought...How about two rear wheels to turn it into a war trike?

That's the best BossBike I have seen. I can't wait to see the finished vesion. Only one comment. IMO the rear wheel lets it down a bit. A really big, fat rear wheel would make this modle look out of this world.

Awesome conversion. The detail on the bike is phenomenal. Very Orky.

It's a V6 'cause if I put 8 pipes on it, they'd be too small and "wimpy". But that's OK, the next engine I build will be a V12. And the carb? That ain't all this guy's missin! Thanx for the comments everyone.
