Tyrannocyte

[cypheon]

So i picked up my first pod. I want to mount tbe t-cyte on its base without using the tentacles, so, any suggestions on what to cover tbe base in to...

A) keep the heights relatively accurate

B) keep the t-cyte stable during gameplay

C) not break while i move in two months / drive 1-2 hours each way to the nearest gaming store whenever i am able to play

If you use the included tentacles to attach it, it's a pretty solid hold, believe it or not. Alternatively, you could magnetize so that the thing comes apart. I wanted to be able to use mine as a sporocyst AND tyrannocyte, so I magnetized the base to the tentacles, and the tentacle/t-cyte lowerbody to the sporocyst/upperbody. If interested, I could probably dig up some pictures.

I intend to use the tentacles for something else, and won't have access to them for the t-cyte once i do.

I'm thinking i may put a layer or two of cork on the base (for height and sculpting), then mount the t-cyte using some spare sticks from jumppack units.

Just not sure it will stand high enough to not get bitched at by rules lawyers.

You can always do what I did.. here is a link: www.dropbox.com/s/ce5pqce0au7o0q6/Tcyte.jpg?dl=0
Still need to paint it and what not but eeh...

That actually looks awesome. Like the open carapace / air brakes, too

[Koyori]

the height of it is nearly exactly the same as the "normal" version, its a very simple conversion as well, all it takes is a 3mm drill, drilling out holes in a + shape.
Might not be cheapest way to do it as ya need a flyer stand but meh... it looks way better in my opinion, much more agressive.

Yeah, second that comment. Looks very cool indeed. Well worth the price of a flight stand.
If I ever end up with a Tcyte myself, totally ripping that trick off.

Awesome conversion. As an aside, I see drakengard 3 in that pile of games and I'm a big fan of that series.

Hahaha... with nearly 1000 games on different systems, its not uncommon for people to spot some game in my collection they like ^^

koyori gets it with that Tyrannocyte dynamic posing, more pods need to look like that.

One dope looking Tyrannocyte... was always put off by the model so never considered getting one, but I guess it is time to actually think about it!
