custom heirophant and the 6 limbs rule

[iyama]

So I'm planning to make my own hierophant and I want it to be different, but I'm not saying I dislike the forgeworld one, its just more money than I want to pay for a situational nid, plus the spindly legs and shouty head don't do it for me.

So to the point of my post!! (Yes there is one)
I'm a stickler for the "nids have 6 limbs" rule and won't give them more, which is a pain for things like shrikes. So for my custom creation I plan to give it 4 large strong looking walking legs and then the two large bio cannons that it has, but would like to also include the nids trademark scything talons, which I'm thinking of making a part of the bio cannon arms, potentially a large blade running along their under side and I'd like to know peoples thoughts and opinions on such things before I undertake the task which I would like to have ready or close to finished near the beginning of june for a trip a group of my friends are making to warhammer world for a private campaign.

Maybe make the Bio-Cannon a Symbiote creature (like most nid weapons) but give *that* the Scything claws. So the cannon has four legs gripping the Heirodule's carapace and the middle legs are the huge scythes.

Or else exocrine style shoulder cannons. Or even mounted either side of the head! That sounds cool...

Attach them like underslung bayonets to the bio-cannons!

Underslung bayonets would look cool, hell I'd say you could even put them on top of the gun if you think it looks cooler. I did that for my Biovores, the fluffy excuse being they can swing it down on enemies that come too close. Any concept sketches or anything on what you wanna make? I'm always curious as to other people's take on the Hierophant.
