Imperial Guard Rough Rider Conversions

Update: You can find samples of the finished product here: http://www.tqstudios.com/41st-century-rough-riders-style/

After deciding to reboot my Mechanized Rough Rider squad, I've prepared a quick tutorial on how I've converted Space Marine Scout Bikers into Imperial Guard Rough Riders.

Gw should start making some plastic cadian rough riders and catachan riders. the attilan ones look sh*t.

also they should make dark riders.

i have been thinking about making scout bike conversion cadian riders but im not too sure about cost. i mean for a squad of 10 it will be 72 GBP.

I agree that the conversion is cost prohibitive. However, a substantial amount of Imperial Guardsmen have been completed and I've enjoyed going back to add some finer touches.

Also updated the vid info with a link to a finished Rough Rider conversion.

they look really good. nice work.

i want to try and find the money to make some. also mke some normal scouts into vets with shotguns.

GW needs to get some more plastics out for the guard.

a must for most people are the stormtroopers. they need some plastics

If you're looking for scouts and have a mate that is getting a Space Wolf Battleforce or two, it may be worth to make an offer.

Despite the ability to come in from the opponents table edge, I don't even have close to enough FoCs to consider taking Scouts in my Wolf list.

GREAT JOB!!!!!

I do the same thing! Awesome!

could you just cut off the biker arms at the end of the glove and attach it to a guard arm? or is that too big a glove for the arm?

wow im thouroghly impressed though their use is questionable for me I still want to field one someday and planned to use bretonnian knights to do it using their cloth as camo. but you vid here gave me a better simpler option~

@shamtastic83 imgur dot com/P47Dz.jpg and imgur dot com/lL0TP.jpg I think the arm looks a bit "off" and I may have to adjust it.

@ryanisjimdandy I'd love to see a video or some pics! The small sentinel spotlight sounds like a great filler.

[shamtastic83]

@ryanisjimdandy Thats a much more efficient method. I did my prototype away from my bits, so cutting the shoulder pads down was my solution. It was easy enough, so I continued the process.

Good luck with your conversions. Lets see them when they're done!
