I began prototyping my scythed hierodule last night, and wanted to request some feedback.
Design goals:
1) Be recognizably related to the barbed hierodule conversion linked in my sig.
2) Instead of blade-y enraged hamster, shoot for something reminiscent of a carnifex (bonus points for old-school huggy fex)
General thoughts:
1) Mouth or thorax-mounted acid spray?
2) Scissors action on scything talons?
3) Base/environment: something dynamic, maybe a wall collapsing as it bulls through, or a vehicle getting opened like a tin can?
Current plan:
1) Exocrine body
2) Tervigon legs
3) Lower arms made from haruspex claws and large carnifex scything talons. Lower arms are double-taloned, and slightly beefier than the upper arms.
4) Upper arms made from fleshborer hive arms, tervigon crushing claws, and large carnifex scything talons. Upper arms have more reach than lower arms.
5) Extended tail via greenstuff and/or spare mawloc tail
6) Revised carapace chimneys to match barbed hierodule
7) Extended neck carapace plates using carnifex carapace, to match barbed hierodule
8) Head sculpted from greenstuff, mawloc head parts, and whatever other useful bits I find.
8a) Mouth-mounted acid spray, like an oversized drool cannon crossed with a t-fex acid spray
