Toxicrene build can't decide on stance?

[jimmyp]

Hello I have cleaned up all the parts of my toxicrene model and I was still trying to decide to have it as attacking or crouching set up....
I'm going to magnetize his arms only to help game play and transportation.
What's peoples opinions? Crouch or attacking with dead marine??

I could not pass up making mine on a dead Marine!

Cool thanks

The crouching position looks kinda idiotic, because Toxicrene\Maleceptor looks like it's leaning on its tippy-toes.

And really, how could you pass on standing on a dead marine?

I highly recommend you build the toxicrene in the raised attacking stance. The tentacle slot is keyed and if you build the body in the crouching stance, the tentacles are going to drag the ground unless you start modifying.

The crouching stance is really meant for the maleceptor.

Yeah I agree I was literally just looking online at the crouching position and the lash whips do look really close to the floor!! I'm going to go for the attacking stance all decided thanks everyone for there advice fellow tyranids players.

This. Always this. Too good. Never crouch.

I saw the initial pictures where it was crouching and hated them. Thought the model was posed terribly. Then saw the attacking pose and fell in love

Looking great! I used 5mm by 3mm magnets for his big lash arms, did you glue yours??

Since you should magnetize it to get both maleceptor and toxicrene I vote crouching position.

I did "climbing stance". Thought the outstretched arm looked kinda half-hearted, it will reach everything it wants using it's tentacles, but as climbing a pillar it works great!
