Kit Bashing a Librarian on Bike

In a Nutshell

Sashimi Zeta here again. Finishing my bikers, been fiddling around with the concept of a warhammer 40k marines Librarian on a bike.

So... there's no plastic kit on the market for a librarian on a bike. So I decided to kit bash. In fact kit bashing is the direction to customising your own space marine army. I bought a plastic librarian kit and a bike from the dark vengeance box set.

Here's my work in progress so far. A lot of green stuff or putty work needs to be done to fill up gaps. Oh yeah I like my marines with their helmets on. Will add a helmeted head when nearing completion.

Individual components

Space Marine Bikers

Hello there, this is Sashimi Zeta again. I've always been a fan of the Ultramarines in Warhammer 40k. The sci-fi tabletop warfare pits factions against each other in the vast coldness of deep space or planetary warfare.

The titular Games Workshop game is currently into its 7th edition and the advent of a new edition of codex made me brush off the hiatus and return to my Fifth Company of Ultramarines. My aim? To finish my bike squads which I half started a year ago.

Yeah I know it's still work in progress.

What I lack in painting skills I make up in crafting. I magnetised the bikers' left wrists with 3mm diameter discs magnets as you can see. This enables the swapping of special weapons. As the 40k space marine kits now come with weapons attached to wrists, it makes magnetising a breeze. Drill a hole, pop a magnet there, super glue.

It's inter changeable (due to polarity of magnets) with my tactical squads so I can quickly swap special weapons on the fly. Will update you guys when I'm done. Sashimi out.

Magnetising of weapons.

Pink Horrors are up!

A little touch up job on these Pink Horrors. The base were not done, still left white and details not painted on, so I had to work on all these.
The metal got brass finish, with rubies in red. Feathers were white and brown washed. Flaming staff with yellow highlights.

Mono Eye in the works

There's something about "Mono Eyes" and I just got my first Gouf. This fellow will get a new paint job and hopefully looks more sinister.
