Mucolid spores.

[royalecheez]

I see people with max mucolids and I can't seem to find them, or there bits anywhere online. Are people really just buying that many tyrannocytes?? Have any advice where I can find the bits or models for them? Probably just going to get some forgery world meiotic spores and play make believe.

I think the issue is that demand for mucalids both outweighs the demand for tyrannocytes, and the kit itself is pretty expensive. I know some people have made cool proxy models, but I also know that mucalids, when they're available, command a dollar to points ratio rivalling Ork Mek Gunz.

I use the meiotic sporen

Or foamballs From the hobby shop if i need more.
ik added thumbtags to make them more seamine like

Ya I actually just ordered some meiotic spores and am just going to call them mucolids.

I have no interest in 1 tyrannocytes let alone 3 lol

I used the mucolids and mounted them two bases high to raise them up a tad. Works a treat and they look horrid!

Actually, if you build the Mucalid, then you can only build the other model as a Sporocyst, and those are pretty awesome. They infiltrate, each once increases a Synapse creature's range by +6", and they add some decent covering firepower to the board along with free spores. More importantly they're a kind of Tyranid terrain model. Mind you, I recently bought the bits for a Mucalid from Bits and Kits for £16, for a friend, so your mileage may vary.

I know a place you can get re-casts for $18 for 1 model thats £13.90 each. now thats not exactly cheap but compared to £38 pounds for a tyrannocyte which if fully build still only gives you the head of the mucalid (because you use the tentacles on the bottom of the tyrannocyte). Sporocyst are useless, so apart from proxying the with meiotic (which i dont personally like because are a lot smaller/shorter) is really the only way.......unless you like pingpong.

Now as regards to the ethics of re-casts, you may have a point. but games workshop making an actually useful unit that only comes in (please do not swear) £38 sporocyst piece of (please do not swear) box is 10x worse.

Pm me if you would like pointing into the right direction.

You can both buy the mucolid bits separately from bitz stores like hoard of bitz (though of course that is dependant on stock , but relatively cheap). Or you could do what I did, and use the venom bitz - a lot more accessible (anyone who built zoans will have them, and they're both cheaper and far greater stock from bitz stores - bitz box had 4+ of basically everything last I checked) - see here for photos of mine and kooskoos'.

I am unsure of the forums stance on it, but my Mieotic spores were chinaforge too if I'm honest. Double stacking 40mm and 50mm bases sorts some of the height issue out.

What exactly does any of this have to do with trading? It's looking more like people suggesting where to get knock off GW product.
