Still WIP! C&C is appreciated.

That looks fantastic! A great, dynamic pose that really reflects the fact that although the Biovore is a barrage weapon, it is still an assault one! Your model is growling as it stalks, not just squatting, cattle passing wind like the GW one!

Excellent work, can't wait to see it painted!

I may be wrong.

That's really nice! I'll probably take one or two of your ideas and combine them with another set of converted biovores I saw a little while ago, also based on warriors. I like the head on this one. I'm already fielding a bunch of warriors so I don't want to use the head carapace of a warrior, and a spike like you've used looks more biovorish.

What do you use to sculpt the green stuff? I've got practically no experience using green stuff so I'm a bit worried I'll screw it up

Actually this biovore is the best I've seen- the more I look, the more I like! If you do another one I'd be very interested to see some pictures of the process

The head is inspired from the artwork in the codex. My main tool when sculpting is a blunt scalpel, so dont take after me on that one, it must be much better tools out there

I took a foam ball, covered it in several thin layers of ugly, lumpy green stuff, and used that as spores until I got the actual spore mines and realized they were MUCH smaller (and cuter). They're still sitting in a box somewhere maybe I'll use them again someday for something else.

Edit: I honestly expected the spore-sac to be under the torso though.
