Hive Fleet Bellerophon: Fire, Poison, Wings.













Next project is a Hive Crone/ Harpy. Going to try a standing pose, as I think it will make it more intimidating visually than Hive Tyrant.

Love the green against the red

Man cool scheme I get a very reptilian vibe from the colors. Nice job on the painting too.

Thanks!

I like! Very cool.

That Flyrant conversion has attitude. I love what you did with the devourers.

[Nard]

Great colour scheme. They look highly poisonous. Reminds me of little shop of horrors

[desmo]

Thanks for the comments!

Got the V2 custom devours primed up - now they look too small compared to the v1, haha!

Hive Crone concept:

Hive Crone? Looks like a Hive Tyrant to me. Then I remembered the Crone doesn't have any legs that large so that is why at least to me it looks off.

I say do this, but as a Hive Tyrant. If you want a Hive Crone then I think you should forget the legs and maybe have the tail wrap around the plane instead.

Thanks for the tips! I think the base would be an issue with using it as a Hive Tyrant gaming wise. I'm trying to like the Hive Crone model, but apart from it's dimensions I find it a little lacking in the intimidation factor. I think the lack of legs robs it of some visual power. It does have vestigal legs at the base of the wings like a gargoyle/bat, but I wanted something more intimidating to put on the table befitting the "carnifex of the skies" role it's supposed to have. I'm thinking claws. But we shall see.

I just noticed when I missed it before, another reason why it screams Hive Tyrant is there is no tail. So try putting a long tail behind it and it may change it. Right now, no long tail just looks like a HT with wings right now.

So I can see a Crone with Carnifex legs crippling a flyer working. I would say the legs can be tucked in when flying and then come out when about to crapple something just like how a hawk tucks in his legs when flying. We don't see them or notice them when they do fly gracefully.

Hive Crone WIP.  could be a while before I finish painting it, but you get the idea.

Very original and distinctive. Those feet are huge. No one is going to accuse you of modeling for advantage. I like it!

[desmo]

The feet did come out bigger than I wanted. It's the hobbit of crones!

i like it, reminds me of one of my own. you could always do the feet this way.
