So while I try to wrap my head around that tervigon conversion I'm planning to do, I figured I would have a go at a tyranid prime just to brush off on my GS skills.
Instead of just sticking a lot of bits and pieces to the standard warrior ... I chopped it up with my trusty hacksaw ;D
A couple of plasticard "spacers" just to get the pieces aligned properly.
Pretty much every part of the thing has been lengthened or bulked up in some way.
The carapace has been extended and extra pointy bits and ridges added with GS.
Just a quick mock-up test just to see how it fits together.
I'm a bit unsure about the positioning of the boneswords. I think I was hoping for a more dynamic pose
Anyways, last chance for comments and suggestions before I paint this beast and glue him together for good!

TODO:
The crest on the head, shoulders and the "goatee" needs sharpening.
More detail on the front of the gun. I'm thinking about adding a row of vents, may three on each side, similar, but smaller than those on the head.
The ankles and calves need some bulking up and I'm considering extending and widening the hooves a bit.
Right now the swords pretty much forms an "L" and the feel is very two-dimensional, so I'm considering hacking the swords off at the lowest joint, closest towards the blade, and pointing it outwards plus tilting it a bit.
