Hi all,
This is my Parasite of Mortrex. The body is made of a winged nazgûl's dragon. The wings are from some dragon, no idea which. The head is a heavily greenstuffed old school hive tyrant head with some random spiky bits from the carnifex kit attached to it. Mawloc scytals, filed a bit jagged, one pair stretched getting ready to strike. Breast scales are from the trygon/mawloc kit, a bit filed and extended with greenstuff. The tail is made of some odd bit I found (might be an arm from some chaos-ish/demon-ish army, I have no idea). Looked like a cool, little mouth though, so I put a genestealer implant attack in it and added a toxin sac as well to represent the parasite attack. I do try to make codex art lookalikes when there is no official model, but this implant tail idea sort of distracted me away from simply making a huge spike. Well, I like it. :waagh:
Scale wise I think it's a bit bigger than most parasites I've seen, but I wanted an HQ to be a bit more noticable so when I found the nazgûl dragon body it was love at first sight. The old tyrant head is a bit sub-optimal if I may pick at myself. I would have preferred an open mouthed, more bird predator like face, like the codex art. But, an old HQ head must count for something, and I am enough pleased with it anyway.
Comments? Feel free, please do!
