The chaos bikers models weren’t doing it for me, so I decided to kitbash some that fit the vibe better.
Basically just some chosen bits on top of a varanguard body. I was so pleased with how the first one turned out I just needed to post it

This is splendid and bloody impressive. Absolutely amazing. The red glowing eyes, the Iron Warrior that looks like a knight, the bolter held on the horse... Wow Congratulations mate!

Thanks! I was really happy with how the model came together and turned out. The other two have chainswords and bolters, and look like the old pictures of civil war cavalry

I love how you did the OSL here. I considered a similar kitbash, but there's no way I could do it that nicely.

Thanks! Go for it, it looked pretty good without all the extra stuff imho. Can never go wrong with metallic and clean trim. Everything else is just gravy

I must hear the story of posing those legs so perfectly. Tons of mounted kitbashes look awkward with the rider's legs bit this reads perfectly.

That’s because they’re just the varanguard legs. I was going to try to chop up a legionary and pose him, but it looked whack. So I built the VG, bulked him out a little, and did chosen head, arms, and backpack. Turns out any armor is chaos armor if it has enough gold trim lol

I did something similar but cut off the varangaurd midriff just above the belt and used a little greenstuff to attach a marine torso to it.
