[TheHiveKing]

I am starting tyranids and i am going to pick up the swarm box. Can i make a fex with TLDs using the pieces in the swarm box or do i have to buy the forge world ones?

I cant say whats in the box, but if you need bits don't forget about ebay before you go straight to forgeworld.

Thanks.

Those are the forge world ones right? Those look pretty good. If you want 2 sets of TLDevs though the box, I think only comes with one set for the fex.

It has been a food four years since I picked up a solo carnifex.

But.


I bought the swarm box and the carnifex is still on the sprue, I currently have four including OOE and have no plans for the guy on the sprue. I can dig it out tomorrow and tell you exactly what is on it.

As of right now I'm 99% sure the Fex only comes with one of each pair of the TL devourers and TL death spitters. You could always proxy. I suggest you magnetize them all, no one should care if a Fex is proxying death spitters for devourers anyways.(double check all of his flamers are actual flamers and not meltas guns if that is the case...)

You get two Carnifex Devourer arms, and two Carnifex Deathspitter arms.

You've got a few choices in how to proceed:

1) Proxy the Deathspitters as Devourers
2) Cut the Deathspitter barrels off, replace with spare Devourers (the Swarm box will give you dozens of them; this is probably the best option that's not a proxy)
3) Combine the various arms and add Devourers to represent the Carnifex dual-wielding bigger/heavier Devourers (badly, explained, check here farm9.staticflickr.com/8210/8208637743_633490717d_z.jpg)
4) Invest in some FW Devourers (expensive)

Or eBay the destroyer hive off the tyrannofex kit, or use the spare destroyer hive from a tyrannofex you bought because they are awesome.

I'd go the deathspitter/devourer barrel tip route. It is easy and looks really good. I personally can not stand the Fleshborer hives as TL Devs. Looks way too bulky and out of place IMO.

[BattleMetalChris]

I bought a fex a few days ago.


You get:

two single devourers (one left-handed and one right-handed)
two single deathspitters (one left-handed and one right-handed)
right-handed stranglethorn & left-handed ammo-stomach-thing
right-handed heavy venom cannon & left-handed ammo-stomach-thing
two left-handed scything talons (one slightly larger than the other)
two right-handed scything talons (one slightly larger than the other)



By far the best looking option (IMHO) is to use the Fleshborer Hives from the Tyrannofex/Tervigon kit and use them as counts-as-TL-Devourers.

can i use my custom ones in a tournament?

I would not see why not. So long as it closely resembles what it should be, then your all good.

I will start working on one then

I've been making my TLD's out of devourers and crushing claws with spare lash whips I have lying around like these: ftgtgaming.blogspot.com/2013/06/twin-linked-dual-devourers-for-flying.html
