Jet Bikes!

Very cool pieces. I like both designs. The Mako needs some touchups on the front top side, where the mold seems not accurate.
I hoped they were a tad bit smaller, but regardless, you´ll have to send some to Germanland.

[Machinator]

Awesome. I personally prefer the Talon, but both are excellent.

When are these bad boys going on sale?

Thanks!

Hopefully in a couple of weeks. They'll make great stocking stuffers

These are the prototype molds so there is quite a bit of touch up work before I make the production molds. The production versions should look much better.

Yeah I made them big on purpose. I wanted to make them look like they actually could fly around a 500 pound super warrior

These are pretty awesome. There are more and more jetbikes popping up all over the place. I like yours a lot.

What rules to use though? That'd be my biggest quandary.

Standard SM Bike rules, you just have to put up with taking difficult terrain tests.

Their real application will be with the professional fan-made rules sets such as The Age of the Emperor by The Tempus Fugutives which focuses on The Great Crusade and the Heresy and lost tech such as jetbikes.

Good point. Realism in 40k is not what one expects, which is why I did not see it...

So before Christmas.
Sounds good!

[Mega Nutz]

Striking builds, might have to get me some!!

[Hadriel Caine]

I love these. Great design. Well executed.

[Khazad]

Well, the thought is very nice. This version is much better than the other one with square engines.
Shapes of jetbike are very close to other SM vehicles, but it seems to me a little bulky. It's too big for a GW sized Space marine. For a True Scale, it will be just OK.
Also I think, that you should make another pose of the SM sitting on it, because the original bike rider is just awfull.

[Vimes]

WOW! I'm impressed as allways by your skills!

The Talon is really ace! And as Khazad put it it will look perfectly in place with a True Scale army! (now i only have to get some of your fab TS Rhinos...and a LR!)

[Ironpit]

Do i get some discount on the eagle jetbike, because i had the idea?

Yeah that would only be fair Send me a PM and we can discuss.

As for the rest of you, the wait is nearly over! I cleaned up the first casts, made some modifications to the seat based on feedback, and am now in full production mode.

The first batch of Mako and Talon Assault Speeders will go on sale in my eBay store on Friday December 16th at 7:00 Eastern Standard Time. I will also have a limited number of GW Space Marine Bike Riders for sale.

The Talon Assault Speeder:







Get them while you can!

[Lyonator]

<3 the talon

[Student]

These look excellent. I have a slight preference for the Mako but both are amazing.

[sprugly]

Very nice, I will be very tempted to but a trio of the mako type sometime next year.
May I ask at what price they will be selling?

Personally I will he adding 2 heavy bolters to each and using them as land speeders.

Just check them out in my eBay store, I'm selling them individually and in a 5-pack at a discount.

If you're interested in using them as a Landspeeder you may want to wait until next year when my two crew version comes out. It might be perfect for that

[sprugly]

It'll be a while till I het to that point in my army anyway so I'll definitely look out for that one. I good you'll be posting WIP pics here for my to drool over!

[Old School]

NICE! Ordered one for now. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[Machinator]

Well a number of people have been asking me about making another variant of the assault speeder that looks a bit more like the one seen in those art books about some guy stuck on a gold toliet and his son who's suffering from daddy issues. So I finally sat down and started gluing plastic together. Here's what I have thus far:









Once this is finished I'll be making a matching set of engines to go along with it. The rest will use the same bits as the other assault speeders. As always, much to do....

[Machinator]

Work has been going slow but there is progress! The engine is mostly done, just needs the detail. I'll be adding some small wings onto them as well. They should be ready by late April.

[Seregon]

I really like that last one. The only thing that seems a bit iffy to me is the handlebar that looks more like two pieces of pipe stuck together than a proper handle.
I'm also thinking the back cushion thingie might want to be more vertical to give some actual support for fast acceleration instead of the "let's go cruising on our flying harleys" feel with the leaned back one gives. They're for war and fast turns after all.

Keep up the good work, mate!
