I picked up the battleforce yesterday, and I should have a playable fleet soon. I have a Warrior brood already so I planned on converting a pair of Primes and possibly a Broodlord. I'm thinking of getting a Tyrant later on, but since Primes are so cheap I'm going to run two for now.
My plan was to make a four-legged shooter and an upright melee version. I'm mostly playing against my friend's ork army right now, and I'm finding I have better luck shooting them down than getting in close.
I did the shooter first. I'm working with the battleforce box, a few extra Warrior weapon bits and some Mawloc pieces I picked up on Ebay for $1.
I like the idea of a quadruped gunner who can dig in its claws for stability when its firing. The Mawloc mouth pieces along the back are for the stronger synapse link over other Warriors. The chimneys that larger 'nids get look great and I really just wanted to mimic those on a smaller scale. I made the head out of a Genestealer head, a Warrior crest, a ball joint that I cut off an arm and some epoxy putty. (Note to self: get greenstuff. The epoxy putty I had lying around sucked as both epoxy and putty.) I'm still not sure exactly what to do about the base, though. Right now I've got a clear flying stand that I've cut to fit inside the stomach area, and it moves with the Prime but it isn't attached.
I'm starting on the melee on next. I'm thinking boneswords and scythes.
