GW: Tyranid Hive Tyrant, Conversion

[Jaws]

Did this Hive Tyrant yesterday/today. He is magnetized to be able to switch between legs and wings. The 'not alien' head is from Epoch Studioz. 

Overall, I am really happy with this one.

 

Edit: Updating the post with the based miniature. It has some drool, now, too!

 

Alternate version, with all magnetized parts switched out:

Seems to have been bought out by bluetable. Looks like they have stock though. Thanks!

Amazing!

 

I love it.

 

That drool is great! But it also made me think..maybe make a glaze of a very vibrant light green? and paint parts of the drool with it to show off the acid in the drool?

While trying to keep most of it transparent..

 

I still think you're Nids are the best I've ever seen.

Never cared much for the Bugs, but these are awesome!!!

Problem is that in the movies all the drool is bright and clear until it hardens into creating those nest-like black walls. I want to stay true to the alien in the films. Otherwise you are the second person to suggest green drool. :)

Finally finished the base for the legs. Thought it was best to include it here, rather than make a new thread for the same mini.
