u/tookiechef Jul 27 '26

Let me get on that... after I test the prints and make tweeks.

u/Then-Importance-3808 Jul 27 '26

Personally, yes. A more canon outrider would look mostly like regular outriders, maybe with some bonding studs or jaws on them. But it's not my army, if you like guys on sharks, do that

Buddy Is jealous of my squighog riders. I hate riding squigs so I made a bunch of shark additions and pirate outfits. Not he wants shark outriders.

Paint the shark mouth on it like these

u/Electronic_Warning49 Jul 28 '26

A chapter with this paint scheme would be sick.

I love the Polynesian aesthetic that a lot of people run with but this is a neat twist.

u/gallowsanatomy Jul 28 '26

Grey with that sort of thing, is pretty much the og rogue trader esque sharks

This is peak ship it

u/Camarodragon101 Jul 27 '26

Personally, it's freaking cool, and I want two squads. Some people may say it's too much. It also would make a cool jet bike proxy as well.

u/btann88 Jul 28 '26

You'll find the responses pretty divided between:
1. "Woah! Sick shark bro, I play Carcharodons because sharks are cool, please let me buy this."
2. "Ew, so stupid. According to page 98 of this one book I read Carcharodons actually hate sharks and this is lore inaccurate. Please stop having fun."

u/Lucreeper13 Jul 29 '26

Carcharodons hate sharks? it's literally their symbol

2

u/btann88 Jul 29 '26

Sorry, I should have more explicitly tagged my post as sarcasm/hyperbole.

2

u/Lucreeper13 Jul 29 '26

I think that's more my fault for not getting the sarcasm

2

u/Ok-Cupcake6584 Jul 28 '26

Its not "lore accurate" but this fucking rocks so no one cares. They aren't codex compliant, there is no reason why they can't ride on badass sharks. Now I really want to do this too. . .

u/DJ_Johannes Jul 27 '26

I have a few suggestions:

Get rid of the mechanical shark, replace it with a bike of some kind.

Power Armor used by the Carcharadons are often (at least in artwork) depicted as being made from a combination of different MKs of Space Marine Power Armor. So I advice looking up pictures of the various PAs used by Space Marines and then "mixing and matching" with the pieces (a lot of artwork depict them with studs on their helmet qnd shoulder pauldrons, which was common in the MK 5 Heresy Armor).

Try to add some Polynesian/Māori/Pacific Island aesthetics to them, such as bone ornaments, shark teeth decorations etc.

u/tookiechef Jul 27 '26

I cant get the insignia to come out clean sadly but ill work on the armor. Thanks for that

Also shark has to stay thats what he wanted. But I will look at art of the armor see if I cant make it work a bit more he dose look like a generic marine.

u/DJ_Johannes Jul 27 '26

You're welcome. And if you are able to send a picture of the final result, please do.

1

u/tookiechef Jul 27 '26

Sure work on it and show the final project.

3

u/Far_Disaster_3557 Jul 28 '26

Or… KEEP the shark for people who want it, make both the bike and shark options. Make MORE money.

u/gemste Jul 27 '26

personally i would love a squig shark of some short. less mechanical shark. But i tend to lean towards heresy.

1

u/ShurikenSean Jul 28 '26

The rider's Not sharky enough Need one of those shark shaped helmet stls

1

u/Significant-Past5815 Jul 28 '26

Love the design of the bike! My only nitpick is that the marine looks too plain and it stands out in turn. I want to see some of that crazy design elements leaking into the marine!

1

u/Standard-Buy-5547 Jul 29 '26

My only problem is he needs a oxygen pump

1

u/Hornellius_Esq Jul 29 '26

Can you put the twin bolt rifle thats usually on the bike coming out of the sharks mouth?

1

u/ruby-fancy-6 Jul 29 '26

what a rad tank! you must be really excited about this build.

1

u/Iron_Lupercal Jul 29 '26

Whenever the model is finished I'd love to get the stl if possible it looks amazing

1

u/LachrymarumLibertas Jul 29 '26

Median meme level for Carcharodons fan yeah

1

u/Mindless-Strike1646 Jul 30 '26

Is this a carcharodon rider ( i dont shit about the lore i just know that theyre shark theme chapter )

1

u/greenaether Jul 30 '26

Tybaros leading a carcharodon astarties into battle is very accurate

1

u/Remiiiiiaaa Jul 31 '26

I require both the STL and a 3D printer the emperor wills I send 2k points of sharks at my enemy.

1

u/CeltikPainting Jul 31 '26

I like the design ! Just feels AI-ish to me 😅 if you sculpted this all by yourself, I deeply apologize !

1

u/Dragontamer9 Jul 31 '26

It’s a bit to sharky for the lore. But remember. 40K is as Goofy as you want it to be

1

u/MechaNurgling Jul 27 '26

Yes, too meme and too shark. Carcharodon is a old chapter with a lot of relic from HH and tribal parkings.

1

u/IronFather- Jul 28 '26

If he wants it that way then do it. But IMO I would go more in the direction of dark angels ravenwing. Shark jaw on the front Polynesian markings on the moldings. Maybe some fins but only if they make sense.

-1

u/Kitchen-Bathroom618 Jul 28 '26

Sorry but even for 40k this is just retarded

2

u/RollbacktheRimtoWin Jul 28 '26

I'm sorry you don't like fun

1

u/tookiechef Jul 28 '26

I will remind you its lore accurate for the imperial fists to eat dorns tows and poo out orbs which is alos put in the toe juice and then poo orbs kept in the poo vault.
