Give me warriors and I shall build you an army more diverse than you can imagine!!!

... Or at least as diverse as the Tyranid Codex.

So here are all of the different models I have made with the Warrior kit.

(Left to right: Zoanthrope, Lictor, Tyranid Prime, Tyranid Warrior, Tyranid Warrior, Hive Guard, Tyrant Guard)

Questions? Comments? Or if you'd just like to see some of the models more closely, just ask. Next on the chopping block, Biovores.

Could we get a closer pick of the zoans and a list of what parts you used? cause that would be sweet!

Very nice work there! I can add to your list as over the weekend I made a venomthrope from warriors too. Plus my hive guard look almost identical to yours! Good to see someone else who hates the metal models and has found an alternative

It's still lurking... check behind you....

I have made my Raveners, my Hive Guard and Shrikes from the Warrior kit. Its mainly because it is cheaper and I hate metal.

Soon as I am employed again, I will be following your footsteps to a cheaper swarm! Plus, warriors are the best model we have for making our non-mc bugs. I loves this kit.

Those conversions look great an in my opinion MUCH better than the GW models. and the fact that they are plastic is Fantastic.

I hate trying to keep mt Zoans together and are a pain to pin. Wish i had enough bits to make all my army out of warriors. time to start hitting up the local bits sales

Well, Earlier in the year I had said that I would make a zoanthrope tutorial. It is unfortunate that one member of the hive sent me the bits to make them and the package got lost in the mail. I am currently in the process of hunting down a trygon head carapace with which to make a Zoanthrope tutorial. Expect one in the future, though I cannot say when. I'd do one on lictors as well, but nobody really uses those.
