I can just imagine them hanging upside down, gripping their jetbike with just their legs and slapping in new magazines while screaming at the top of their three lungs...

As inspiring as this mental image is, it was a decision I made based on the components and the time I had. 1500 points of White Scars in five weeks, from scratch, is a little... well, thruthfully, it hurt.

But yes, I totally agree that some adaption to the bolters would fit better. I have seen jetbikes that use the normal bike bolters, upside down under the footplate, with the slope ends of the magazines glued to the sloped face of the plate, indicating an ammo feed slung underneath the engine.

As with most of my Scars, at some point in the future I hope to be able to adapt them slightly to make them more detailed and contextually accurate, jetbikes included. The most likely course that I can think of is ammo belts made of lengths of small gauge plastic rod, 'belts' of green stuff, and a plasticard hopper slung under the nose section.

But yeah, anything like drum mags, belts feeds, whatever, it all makes sense.

Steal well, my friend... it's there for anyone who wants it.

Also, I only just noticed the Banewolf slurs in the middle of this thread... gr.

King Fluff; a SM bike in a box is £6, the Imperial cruisers come in boxed of two and are priced at £9, and you could get the Ravenwing plate and bolters fairly easily from a bitz website for a pound or so.

In fact your best value:components ratio is probably to buy two boxes of cruisers and the Ravnewing bike squadron box at £22.50, as this gives you components for three jetbikes straight off the bat.
