A carnifex and Flyrant tail makes a quick and easy Malanthrope too.

The perfect opportunity for that extra Fex from Deathstorm

It is almost the same price when you buy a flyrant and a carnifex. You might as well just buy the malanthrope.

Depends on where you live. Shipping and customs can be ridiculous in some countries.

The flyrant tail is free if you have built any tyrants/flyrants with the walking legs which are actually better in a lot of ways for stability and model variety.

The fex body and tentacle head are the only thing you may need to pay for, if you haven't got an old Terv/Tfex conversion that became obsolete with the release of their official models which you can rip apart.

There is no such thing as an extra Carnifex. When life gives you carapace, you make Fexen. I have 8 Carnifexes yet happily built the ninth one from the deathstorm box. Now I can field a whole Full size Wrecker node. 9 Fexen with adrenal glands. Looks a lot like the mumakils from Lotr. I will just put them in a straight line covering the whole deployment, and then I will look my opponent in the eye and see the terror lying in there.

Except fexes were going dirt cheap from the deathstorm kit, and depending on how you modeled your Tyrant(s), you could just have a spare tail lying around. Or you can even just trade with some folks on the Hive. If you get a little creative, it is much much cheaper then a legit Malanthrope, but don't get me wrong, the real model is absolutely amazing and I wish I had one.

Here is my converted Malanthrope. Used Flyrant Tail, mawloc tiny claws, Fex body/head, and then just spare flesh hooks for the tentacle mouth.

I made a Malanthrope out of Just a Tyrant and Some bits from other boxes.

So it was as cheap as a Tyrant is.

I saw some malanthropes on ebay for $40.

Some of those are Recasts, and others are used, That is a fine way to go, But I rather spend a couple extra $ (dont forget shipping costs) and Have all Plastic than resin.
