Here's part 1 of 4 of an absolutely stunning conversion project. Part 1 follows the creation of this Space Marine Chaplain and you can read all about it and see all the photos here:

The other 3 parts will be published this week, so keep checking the site or like Graven Games on Facebook for updates.

Well done and expertly documented! I just got a few SM bike chasses myself, and appreciate the inspiration!

It's got a 'Judge Dredd' vibe to it. Though it does look like it could have problems clearing obstacles or negotiating higher ground.

Is that a bike?

Nice painting but the bike doesn't work for me. I have to agree wholeheartedly with John Lacour here.

Nice conversion, I like the track units, but the faring is still a bit low, but hey its a fantasy/sci fi model, and its nicely done..

(I would advise actually clicking on the link, as what appear to be tiny wheels are actually just the covers for the caterpillar units under the faring/bodywork).

Thanks for pointing out that there are actually tracks rather than wheels yorkie, i's not very clear from this angle but if people to check out the link there are loads more pics and a full explanation :)

Beautiful work, but he's going to have trouble seeing when the pages of that book start flapping around in the wind. But really he shouldn't be reading while driving anyway.

Wow man, getting some hate for this. Undeserved. And a bit rude and bitchy to be honest.

You've done a good job with the conversion, and that paint job is right up there, you've got some skills with a brush. I think it's an evocative figure, you'd almost need new rules for the front of the bike, that edging looks dangerous on the charge. I have the model you converted from, the Ravenwing gravbike, and this definitely looks different enough to be really unique.

I say well done, and thanks for posting, cool to see what can be done with the model.
