Hive Guard Conversions/Alternative Models

[anomandaris]

Hi all,

Looking for some ideas on conversions/alternative models for Hive Guard - they've been out of stock with GW and all 3rd party resellers for many months and no sign of coming back any time soon.

I need some Impaler cannons in my life - they seem awesome in 8th so I'm up for the challenge of converting something or failing that looking for alternative models from other wargames etc. (if GW don't want my money that's fine!)

Cheers in advance

They seem to be coming back in stock for lots of countries. Maybe just wait some more?

Here is my try, still WIP. I don't like the hive guard model,so I built these.

Lookin good but the gaunt heads are a bit small.

It was to give the feeling they were all about their guns and reinforced chitin plates, no brain, no jaws


The pieces from trygon prime maw are quite nice to give big powerful arms, solidly fixed to the ground to stabilize them before the shot.

I'm finishing the paint job of these 3 and modelling the 3 next.

Not the best pic, but I used a warrior base. I put an armour plate over the head, and shaved down the head (cut out the eyes) and put a termagaunt armour plate there. I cut the tail more stubby, and made the gun with fleshhooks

Old school Zoats would make good substitutes.
