warrior to zoanthrope

[abyss]

hey guys,

after seeing one attempt at doing this on the forum i decided to have a go myself. i managed to get hold of 3 warriors for £12 so if i can make 3 decent zoanthropes out of them then it will be a big saving over the gw models.







so far I'm quite pleased, i still have to fill in the arm and leg holes. don't think I'm going to try to give him any arms as i don't have the parts to do it with. in the pictures the ridges on the head look a little sausage like but I've filed these down so they come to a point at the top now so they look a bit better. all C&C are welcome

peace out

[Assimilator]

nice! it looks really good so far! keep it up! cant wait to see it painted

[abyss]

cheers, just remembered i have to model the funnels on his back as well

[Aux]

Not bad at all

[hivefleetsiafu]

quite good and will save alittle bit of money ;D

[abyss]

well i've done the funnels to represent the toxic miasma biomorph, and i have filled in the holes for the arms. its pretty much finished now, just wodered what u all thought

[kostoglot]

Wow
Thanks for the idea. I'd like to make my own plastic zaonthropes, but didn't know how to do it. Now i do

[abyss]

cheers, it turned out to be easier than i thought, just have another 2 to do now

Ah, the plastic Zoan. I did mine a little differently, but I have to admit, your solution is simplier than mine.

You might think about using some extra claw bits for the tiny arms, but with the way you greenstuffed the sides, it really isn't necessary. Again, great job!

[tyrannofex]

Personlly i would fill in the part between the back of jaw and the body and make it thicker. Just my 2 cents

[Biowraith]

What did you ues for the brain? and its very cool

[abyss]

the brain is just moulded epoxy putty, its cheaper to use than green stuff for these larger projects

[wormwood]

That's a brilliant conversion.

Fantastic idea! I was thinking about the little arms... Maybe steal the smallest set of Scything Talons from a Ravener (newest model) and glue them on? They're little and the Ravener won't miss them if you replace them with RC from Genestealers (that's what I did).

[abyss]

yer but the problem is u need 6 of them for each zoan. i've been thinkin about the arms and there is a few different ways of doing it... but i also dont think its too radical thinking to think that the arms could have just atrophied back to the point where they wern't there at all
