So, i gotta be honest, im not a huge fan of the tervigon design. I mean, its cool in itself, but its not really what comes to mind when i think of a living battering ram that spews out termagants while it crushes the enemy beneath its feet.
SO, i boiled down my lovingly painted Tervi back to bare plastic and split her up into the orignal pieces as best as i could.
Yea, that paintjob. All gone. But, from the ashes of my painstakingly long paintjob that i melted off, my new project was born!
My idea is to make my Tervigon a giant carnifex. To really get the agile, top heavy, battering ram feel, i put the spawning sac on its back (just like some real life insects do) and the part that spits out gants in the center of its chest, pretty much where it was before.
Honestly, trying not to make the termagants look like they're coming out of tyranid genitals has been a major concern (cause, come on, no one wants to see that). But im hoping it doesn't look like that given its placement? Ehh
A few more pictures:
I may try to add a few details to the top (aka the bottom) of the Sac, because the GW designers sort of got lazy since they figured no one would see it once the tervigon was assembled. So it just looks like a brain.
The limbs need a lot more work, but here's a picture to give you an idea of the final product (and a Gant for Scale):
Finally, since i spent like hours learning how to use greenstuff as i went, some closeup shots on my handiwork (not th greatest, but im proud of it!)
So let me know what you think! Any major design flaws anyone sees? (now that i mention it, i AM having some trouble with the head and neck, and i wish i have drilled in the gants lower on the chest, but more on that later).
Any feedback is appreciated!
