The V.F.U.W. Biker Gang

[Ironworker]

Hey I'm working on a Biker Gang for my Resident Evil campiagn. I'm using Hotwheels bikes and plastic GW minis for the bikers. I'm mostly using Catachan Jungle Fighters and other GW bits for the bikers. Each biker will have a mounted and dismounted version and if everything turns out like I plan I'll be able to remove the mounted bikers from the bikes so I can use the parked bikes as scenery. My curent plan is to just put the riders on the bikes with a little bit of sticky tack so they can be easily mounted and dismounted as the game progresses.



First up is Ol' Roy a frankenmini of GW bits. His body and legs are from the Catachan Jungle Fighter box. His head is from the White Wolves head sprue from the Empire fantasy army. His arms are both from the Militia boxed set for the Empire fantasy army. His right hand and SMG is from the Necromundia boxed set. His left hand mounted version is also from the Empire Militia set.

The way the legs worked out on the mounted version makes it look like he is standing on the bikes pegs which is good because these Hotwheels bikes are way overscale but easy to come by so I'm using them. Honestly they arn't any bigger than the various GW bikes so they don't look that bad with GW figs in my opinion.

Ol' Roy here is part of the V.F.U.W. biker gang or Veterans of Fucked Up Wars. They will be used primarily in my Resident Evil "Hunters" campaign.

They look fantastic! If I would have one criticism, I would have a better looking firearm. But its a small thing.

I agree but I'm just trying to scratch these guys up out of what I have on hand.

Someone else set this type of setup as i recall. I dont know if it was on here or not.
Anyone???

But onto you IW, looking good there.
How many total are you going for? Whole gaggle?
Going to go for straight two-wheelers?
How many of the HW bikes ya got?
And, what are your thoughts on going "hover" for a bike? Dont know if any of your wars are futuristic enough for it.  :-)

That was me  I did five bikes for my Apocalypse Chopper Shop.

 I have not updated this thread for ages as I got a bit fed up with lack of natural light for photographing things during the winter.

Great stuff Ironworker. I'm not much into GW, so hadn't seen the hairy ZZ-Top style heads before. Would make great pirates too!

Yeah I thought I had seen someone else doing a similar conversion!  The other bike I have at the moment is the same one you have pictured here.

I only plan on doing about 5 or so of these guys.
