Shrieker Jetbikes the Cheap way

Hello Blog readers,

had some inspiration on how to solve my Shrieker Jetbike Dilemma. I really don't like the off set Shurikan Jetbike model that GW supplies and I think it's way to expensive as well. So I scavenged some Shurikan cannons I had laying around and came up with the following model:

Shuricanon Jetbike:
As you can see it's a pretty straight forward conversion just cut up the canon till you only have the barrel. clip off the hose an replace it with some Iron wire that connects the Gun to the Body. This gives the illusion it's an actual part of the jetbike. Made 4 of these guys so that finishes of that Dilemma.

So what do you guys think?

Cheers CJ

Little Update on the Farseer Bike


Evening fellowbloggers and readers,

after posting the last update on the Farseer bike I got to work on getting some more work done on it. It was about 3 hours after the update that I thoughed I was done for now. But since my GF took my camera I was forced to wait with taking pictures. So now on my Birthday I was able to get some pictures to Present you guys with What Will most likely be the End result for now.

Farseer Dragon Jetbike:


I hope you all like what I did with it! Now if you don't mind I'm going to get some more Beer

Cheers CJ

First Sculpt Ever

Hello their loyal following,

after a lot of hours with greenstuff everywhere this is what I did:

The Farseer Dragon Bike:
Yes it's the beginning of the farseer Jetbike, after a stressfull week at the University I wanted to release my creativity around and I decide to poor it over the Farseer jetbike. It is my first ever "Real" sculpt so curious to see what you all think of it. As you can see I tried to get it as close to the Sketch I made when I started this project. I Don't know if I'm going to sculpt the lower jaw. So opinions are apreciated.

Some more pictures :

The Dragon head is born:

The model at the Moment

Still a lot of work to do but it's getting there.

Little Jetbike update

Finished assembling the first jetbikes completely now just to scale all those buggers. I made my Jetbikers using the normal guardian bodies and heads. this wasn't easy since the fit was very poor but I think it's worth it since it looks WAY better in my opinion.

12 Jetbikes:


I made 2 configurations the on on the left is the normal guardian the other on is the one has one of the bigger fins these guys are going to be the shurikan canon wielders.

Configurations:


I still have to assemble a lot of models before my first tournament may 16th I finished making my list and this is what I will be using:

Farseer: Rune Armor, Singing Spear, Ghosthelm, Shuriken Pistol, Runes Of Warding, Spirit Stones, Doom, Fortune, Jet bike = 178

6 Warlocks: Rune Armor, Witchblade, Jetbike, Shuriken Pistol, Embolden, Enhance, 4 Destructor = 330

Troops:

6 Jetbikes: 2 Shuriken Cannons = 152

6 Jetbikes: 2 Shuriken Cannons = 152

10 Dire Avengers: Exarch dual cat bladestorm = 152
1 Wave Serpent: T-Brightlance, Spirit Stones = 145

Fast Attack:

2 Vypers: Star Cannons = 140
2 Vypers: Star Cannons = 140

Heavy Support:

1 Fire Prism: Holofields = 150
1 Fire Prism: Spirit Stones, Holofields = 160

1699 pts.


So still a long way to go before completion. I know I won't be able to finish everything but luckely this isn't a problem for this tournament which is nice since it will give me the opertunity to practise with the army on the bigger games. So I'm looking forward to blasting things into oblivion while flying at full speed!

Cheers CJ

1700 points tournament coming up May 16th

Hey guys,

after some internal debate about if I could go or not I decided to go to a small dutch tournament. It's a small tournament and should be a nice place to learn how to wield my Saim Hann army. So I made a little army list which contain evertything I think I will be needing over there. It's blatendly stolen frommy friend Fritz over at way of Saim Hann with some minor changes to make it easier for me to build it and get it on the table.

1700 pts. DragonRiderClan

HQ:

Farseer: Rune Armor, Singing Spear, Ghosthelm, Shuriken Pistol, Runes Of Warding, Runes Of Witnessing, Spirit Stones, Doom, Fortune = 188

5 Warlocks: Rune Armor, Witchblade, Jetbike, Shuriken Pistol, Destructor = 275

Troops:

6 Jetbikes: 1 Shuriken Cannons = 142

6 Jetbikes: 1 Shuriken Cannon = 142

10 Dire Avengers: Exarch dual cat bladestorm = 152
1 Wave Serpent: T-Brightlance, Shuriken Cannon, Spirit Stones, Star Engines = 170

Fast Attack:

2 Vypers: Star Cannons, 2 Shuriken Cannons = 160
2 Vypers: Star Cannons, 1 Shuriken Cannons = 150
2 Vypers: Brightlance, 2 Shuriken Cannons = 170

Heavy Support:

1 Fire Prism: Spirit Stones, Star Engines, Holofields, Shuriken Cannon = 185

1698


So what do you guys think? I hope I stand a chance I won't have a lot of practice games under my belt since it's only a month away and I'll be building at to speed just to get all the models assembled for the tournament. all the stuff that's bold is the stuff I don't have yet or stuff I'm borroiwng.

Farseer WiP



Hey guys just got my farseer bits in today along with 4 more High Elf mage kits so basicly I got pretty much all the bits I need to make my seer Counsil. You probably saw my warlock in the previous post and I wanted my farseer to fit in with these guys but till show he is the guy with the Bigger Powers.

Seer Counsil in foursome:

There for I got some dragon mage bits from ebay and started cutting them up and this is where I'm at now as you can see he is now where near finished and he still needs a tun of work. Not to mention the dragon head that needs to be sculpted on his Jetbike. But I just wanted to show you guys and get some early feadback before everything is glued or Greenstuffed into place.

Farseer:

So what do you think so far? does it look dynamic enough and grant enough to be a farseer?

Cheers CJ
