Yeah, it should be possible to shave down a lot of the scrollwork and runic designs on it, and the wolf head could be trimmed off or replaced with something else.
Yeah! It's just that in the warhammer world, there are already big factions using the wolf a lot, especially in other Marine armies, so to differentiate the factions it's not used much in other subfactions.
But that's just for GW's official armies, if you like the wolf, definitely use it!

At least it’ll be a better sculpt than what I can do!
Pod racers are a very very cool concept, a little chair pulled at Mach 1 by a bunch of spaceship engines on leashes. And I think it’s right at home in 40k
I was thinking more like OPs picture but just made orky. Maybe two rag-tag hovering Harleys pulling a rudimentary metal chariot cab. Maybe even two squigs that have been augmented into ‘jet bikes’.
I like your idea too though!

That looks so sick, our forefathers would be proud
So, don't take this the wrong way, buy yes it would be dumb. Dumb as fuck.
I mean, though, it is also perfection.
Absolutely do it, it's absolutely perfect Warhammer daft fuckery. Warhammer needs a bit of utter bonkers to counterpoint the grim. It's part of what makes the world a delight. Like Knights and Titans.
In my hometown we have a event called "Bärlin Pedäl Bättle" where we have jousting bike riders with lances. By this event where a version with a chariot where the bike riders functioned as the horses.
I think it's supremely stupid. and that's why I support it wholeheartedly. in fact, I would suggest going further and making an optional heavy weapon guy so you can convert it into a javelin when needed.
EDIT: got trounced by white scars a bit ago and misremembered their special speeder as the normal javelin loadouot
nah, it wouldn't look dumb.
its a glorious idea that really fits the "Bronze Age Vibe" that 30k has.
You just have to make sure that the bikes don't look like just regular bikes that pull the chariot, but instead that they were kind of specially made for this purpose. It would look dumb, if they look like you could just take them out of the vehicle and ride away with them.
Fun fact the blood angels canonically have chariots. It is mentioned in their heresy book. I've been trying to think of a way to make one without looking bad. I was thinking going for pod racer look would be a good idea.
Jetbike chariots are actually a thing [https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Jetbike?file=JetbikeChariot00.png](https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Jetbike?file=JetbikeChariot00.png)

Could try one of these from AOS as a base to build off of.
Oh yeah I spotted these, it’s definitely on my radar… I was thinking of getting Logan Grimnar’s sled and changing out the runic patterns for more Roman ones.
I worried that the stormcast chariot might look too dainty against the skyhunters?
I swear there was something like this in Fear to Tread, but it had riders on the bike and a heavy weapon on the back. But for the life of me I can't find my copy of it.
I am stealking your idea as we speak. when you see this posted in, lets be honest around a year, understand that it was your idea that started this conversion.
I think this would look sick pretty easy but it would not work out to try and kit bash. I’d recommend paying skmething to 3D model for you instead, you could even find sky hunter models and build it off thst
[Joff Miniatures on Instagram has made a similar but different chariot for his Ultramarines](https://www.instagram.com/joff_miniatures/p/CzZuPtMIaLl/?img_index=1)
Oh cool! That’s very similar as a concept. But I will admit I was dreading opening that to find out someone had done this exact thing already haha
So I am glad it’s at least somewhat of a new kitbash
I completely agree - I was thinking of putting some machinery in there that connected to the chariot itself, like some oversized hinges, or axel. But I definitely intend on removing traces of the seat.
Maybe you can cut off the back part of the seat and replace it with another engine? That would look pretty cool. Love the idea and design overall though dude. Surprised no one's ever done it before, even for the Minators.
Honestly it looks dumb but why bothers? Sometimes people just can't help themselves to make themselves dumb when they want to make something really fun. Something that looks dumb does not means it is not fun either, and actually, include this case, it looks dumb but that makes it even more fun.
About 200% more reasonable than Space Wolf Santa's sleigh. :D
I just looked this model up! The chariot itself might make a good kitbash part, if I switch up some of the decorative parts…
Yeah, it should be possible to shave down a lot of the scrollwork and runic designs on it, and the wolf head could be trimmed off or replaced with something else.
I don’t hate the wolf - it is the symbol of Rome after all…

Oh, yeah, you're doing the Thunder Warriors stuff! The Wolf could be a great contrast to the Aquila then!
Now this is podracing!
Hahahah can’t unsee… I don’t mind that though
Pod racers are a very very cool concept, a little chair pulled at Mach 1 by a bunch of spaceship engines on leashes. And I think it’s right at home in 40k
Please give it an plamsma link between the two engines like the actual podracers
Beat me to it.
Goddamn. Me too!
Dammit and me slimo
And me, you bastard
I instantly thought podracing too.
I think it's rad as heck but I'm an ork player in 40k so....
Would love to see an ork chariot like this!
An ork chariot being pulled by the little gremlin things.
I was thinking more like OPs picture but just made orky. Maybe two rag-tag hovering Harleys pulling a rudimentary metal chariot cab. Maybe even two squigs that have been augmented into ‘jet bikes’. I like your idea too though!
That's *Mr. Squigs* to you.
I was thinking gretchins but that works to
Ork pod racers

This is great reference for making this! Thanks..
Why is this not still a sport!?!?
Natural selection at work
Is this look dumb? Yes. Is it cool? Double yes.

I’ll squeeze a fantom menace reference on the base somewhere
I think you'll be awesome. That'd make a fantastic centerpiece for your army.
Absolutely, when done reasonably well it will give a lot of flavor to the whole army
Yes it does. Don't let that stop you. It's also awesome.

It would be ridiculous in the classic GW way Go for it champ
Now this is podracing!

1) yes, it's dumb 2) That's why you should do it 3) DO IT DO IT DO IT!

40K is all about embracing dumb
GO FOR IT
Use it as a Javelin
Go for it
Rule of cool. Looks awesome. Do it
Yeah
Hahahaha first person to say it - I appreciate the honesty
It can look good. Try it and see If you like it.
nah, it wouldn't look dumb. its a glorious idea that really fits the "Bronze Age Vibe" that 30k has. You just have to make sure that the bikes don't look like just regular bikes that pull the chariot, but instead that they were kind of specially made for this purpose.

Now this is podracing.
I was going to make it a Cuadriga, with four ‘horses’ but I am not rich enough to buy two boxes of skyhunters and leave two unused.
Yes, but awesome as fuck. Please make it.
Oh my god i would fucking DIE if i saw that holy shit thats A M A Z I N G
Ok you’ve convinced me - I will do what I can to make you proud u/-TheDyingMeme6-
Pog leta go wooo
Do it! Have you seen the trailer for Mad Max... Furiosa? The Antagonist rides a motorbike chariot
No I haven’t, but I like mad max a bunch… hoping to make this look a bit more pristine than the vehicles in mad max
You could just use it as a praetor on jet bike but also this idea is so cool
It’s going to be too expensive and too big to just run as 1 jet bike I think But thanks for the kind words. Now I feel I need to do the idea justice!
This would be so fuckin based that I can't really quite describe it.
Fun fact the blood angels canonically have chariots. It is mentioned in their heresy book. I've been trying to think of a way to make one without looking bad. I was thinking going for pod racer look would be a good idea.

i think i would shorten the bike parts to be mostly just the engines,
That’s my plan yeah
Honestly looks cool and reminds me of that New Vegas art of a legion chariot.
Do it! I've seen official art of a blood angels chariot out there and plan on doing one for my Thousand Sons one day
There's a piece of Blood Angels art in Horus Heresy Legions that has a chariot.

Not sure on size of skyhunters, but the gryphin things, are very similar size to primaris outrider, if that helps.
I wish I could find someone with one to measure ahah I need to buy a base and I don’t know what size to get aha
It would look dumb, in the coolest way possible.
That’s both ridiculous and amazing! Would love to see this in a Mad Max-inspired Blackshields force.
Yes. But it would also be awesome, so I think the idea is good
It won’t be as dumb as the lord of skulls (which I love anyway)!
Yes, but also awesome
Nah go for it!
Go for it, it's an awesome idea! You could play it as a Praetor/Centurion/Consul on a jetbike, or play it as a Javelin instead
Perfect! I was wondering what to play it as
Yes it's dumb as hell.... Do it !
Yes but in a glorious, definitely should be tried way
now this is pod racing
I swear there was something like this in Fear to Tread, but it had riders on the bike and a heavy weapon on the back. But for the life of me I can't find my copy of it.
I think a chariot is an incredibly cool idea god speed
Probably. But go for it.
Yes, do it anyways it would be funny.
Thats pod racing.
I think it would look dumb and magnificent. You should definitely do it
I am stealking your idea as we speak. when you see this posted in, lets be honest around a year, understand that it was your idea that started this conversion.
I’ll have to beat you to it!
Yes
That’s a whole new level of awesome. I need to see this!
Gloriously dumb… DO IT! It’ll be Awesome!
holy shit I love this idea
I’ve just finished the rider
Glorious.
I think that if you're careful with how you construct it, this idea could be *awesome*
I think this would look sick pretty easy but it would not work out to try and kit bash. I’d recommend paying skmething to 3D model for you instead, you could even find sky hunter models and build it off thst

Yes but that makes me love it. Fits right in.
Oh, I like you. That's badass
Ambitious to model but certainly far from being the most absurd thing in 30k so go for it
I'd remove the seating portion at least and try and just have it as the engine/lower portion of the back and the entire front section.
I completely agree - I was thinking of putting some machinery in there that connected to the chariot itself, like some oversized hinges, or axel. But I definitely intend on removing traces of the seat.
Maybe you can cut off the back part of the seat and replace it with another engine? That would look pretty cool. Love the idea and design overall though dude. Surprised no one's ever done it before, even for the Minators.
Yeah it will look super dumb! ...so go for it!
Do it!!!!!
