The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Half a Nob Biker

The Nob's about halfway done, but I figured I'd throw pictures up to prove that I am still working on the project despite the little lull.

I started with all sorts of ambitious ideas for the Nob before I realized that I also intend to make a Wazdakka, and if I loaded the Nob up too much it'd be very hard to tell which one is supposed to be the character! That said, I opted for a power klaw for the Nob, but I wanted one that also looked like it could be functional for riding - I can't see an ork steering very well with klaw blades shearing through the handle bars by accident. The metal fist bit is from the fantasy miniature, I believe his name is Gorbad Ironclaw?

Anyway, I tacked that on, greenstuffed the seams a bit, made some quick hydraulics from sheet styrene, adding cabling, and that was that.

 

I actually made a sidecar for this at first before I decided to scrap it - I didn't like the way it was looking, and I honestly couldn't picture any sort of gun mount in my head that didn't also interfere with the positioning of the handlebars or the nob himself. I peeled that off and strapped two wheels to the sides instead for a trike type design. The extra wheels are from some Warzones mini I picked up ages ago, though I'm not sure I remember which any more. I've put a very basic wheel guard over them for now, but before I take it much farther I have to figure out where the guns are going on this. I may try putting them further up on the body of the bike, just behind the forks.

Anyway, I'm still going at it, but suggestions would be nice. I already have a fun banner pole in mind, though.
