I know those were discussed a while back on AdeptusArizona.com

I don't know if anyone actually picked up any for comparison of GW models, but I can ask around if you like.

I think they heard my accent and just presumed that a country boy like me would be at home with livestock. The fact that my folks have a ranch in Alabama doesn't help. :(

We got Desert Patrol Vehicles out in the sand. I think Afghanistan just isn't as sexy when they do the budget.

They are 25mm, and not horribly out of scale for cadians. He's used the exact same bikes as the "boiler suit apes" on bikes, but new riders/handlebars.

I've got three of the apes on bikes (torso/head swaps) and three of the SAS bikes for my IG RR (waiting on delivery of the ATV).

They also fit quite nicely on the cavalry bases, like bikes used to.

They do look nice, I may invest in some of them soon, I need som rough riders with guns, rather than hunting lances.

I especially like the quad bike and trailer model I have to admit.

None of my RR have lances.

I give them the squad special weapons upgrades and use them to harass the flanks.

My other squad of them are based on older 40k and Void metal bikes (Black shadow mk1 and Viper wing mk1) and have a 'hairy outlaw' biker appearance (some with flaming bottles in hand. I'll see if I can dig up some pics and post them.

Oh, it's NOT a quad bike.
It's a 6-wheel ATV that just happens to look like one.

Essentially a quad with dual rear axles and shocks.
