Tyranid Biovore conversions

[wilson]

Hey guys,

I've done a quick tutorial on how to make some pretty swell lookin' biovores if anyone else despises the existing ones!

I've used the hive guard kit, a bit of green stuff and a generous amount of cork for the base.... I love cork bases!

here are the finished product! ( Not fully painted yet FYI )

Its great to see this conversion transform and evolve with each player that takes a crack at it. I think this might be the third iteration I've seen since rippedoffface posted his, and each one looks great. great color scheme too, BTW.

Hey trip, I'm fairly certain it was your blog that gave me the final boot to do this conversion so all credit goes to you and rippedoffface!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Looks good, where did you get the cork from?

eBay! 3mm sheets are best

Cheers will go have a scout about for it, got some of the vallejo past on its way for all the gaunts, might save cork for the bigger guys

These look great! I echo trips praise with the conversion and paint scheme. I am halfway through converting me some biovores however I have gone down the monkeychuka route

Thanks man, appreciate the compliment. I'd love to see your rendition- throw it up here if you get the chance!

I really like the clawed feet on those. Nice one

Cheers. The arms are done using half a crushing claw with some fex bits put on for the claws. It can all be found on monkeychukas blog here so props out to him really...

hehe, post pics when you're done. The Hive Guard ones are fantastic though. Nids are just awesome for conversions in general.
