Late last year I had a slightly crazy idea.
What if I made all my tyranids gentlemanly, complete with tophats, moustaches, monocles.

Well it's been slow mostly due to laziness but I have some made and am just about to get started in pushing a full army list out.

For this reason I thought I'd post what I have, and then add as I get more.

For now I have the Regal Hivelord and the Cutleryfex. Both are quite greenstuff heavy. The Hivelord has it's vest and jacket whereas the Cutleryfex wears overalls aswell as a plastic cutlery set I used for weaponry.

I also have 4 bearded zoanthropes with tophats that I will post later.

Enjoy the classiness that is the nids.

My friend... Is hilarious!! That's probably the funniest. conversion I've seen. The only thing I'd say is to shorten the top hat on the tyrant to about the size of the carnifex's top hat. But other then that very nice job.

Fwar fwar fwar. Obviously you need to gain more knowlegeability of the more fine points of gentlemanery. As you will observe the larger the head covering implement the higher nobility, standing, power, and wealth. It is only right for the Hive Tyrant to have the largest headware of the battlefield.

In the grim-derp future there is only muffins.

Carnifex: Well, my dear chap, what do you say to some wine and Imperials?
Tyrant: Hm, yes, quite. I am quite famished. Perhaps we could get the help to prepare the Hors d'œuvre?
Carnifex: My good man, I'm afraid no one will be helping us thus far in this edition?
Tyrant: That is quite shallow and pedantic... but perhaps for the best.
Carnifex: Quite.

I saw a conversion of a broodlord once that was exactly that style. Also, there is a pic of a malanthrope with walking stick and top hat which you might want to look up.

Brilliant idea - thats what you get from consuming the "chanel"-sector haha

Managed to find a genestealer on here with a cane and tophat but can't find the malanthrope you talked about.

I'll upload the Zoanthropes this weekend, at the moment you can kinda see them behind the Hive Tyrant.
I'm hoping to get a half Teapot Tyrannofex made by the end of the week. I have the plan set out, tomorrow night the creation begins.
