All plastic Hive Fleet...

[mrjohndoe]

I personally can't stand metal minis, so I figure on an all plastic Nidzilla force. I'll use Warriors as a base for Raveners and my Lictor, but I was wondering if anyone can point me to some threads of plastic conversions? Minimodeller was my inspiration (thanks!!!), so any help would be..um, helpful...

Thanks in advance,
~MJD!

My plastic Lictor is here, and my plastic Flyrant is here.

DakkaFlyrant also has some great stuff along those lines. His Hive Fleet Red Locust was a large part of my inspiration to start working on an all plastic force. It can be found here.

Good luck, and make sure you get us some pictures of the results!

Plastic raveners are easy. All I did to make my was cut off the tail, use a bit of wire to put the model onto the base, then make a new tail out of green stuff.

The hardest part was comming up with the extra scything talons (raveners have two sets while warriors only come with one) and the rending claws. Both can be found in the genestealer box.

I used the Carnifax Talons on mine, you two sets to play with. My daughter also made a pretty convicing ravener out of a warrior

Ok, here is the army list as it stands:
Flyrant--Carnifex bits
10 Flying Rippers (Flippers??)--no idea/FW
Tyrant--Carnifex bits
2 Tyrant Guard--no idea
Lictor--taking your idea westrider!!
24 Genestealers--duh
3 Ravener--Warriors bits
6 Carnifex--another no-brainer
3 Zoanthrope--may stick w/ current models

Anything I should add/remove/change? Also Ordo, do you have pics of your daughters Ravener? Lemme know!

"3 Zoanthrope--may stick w/ current models"

Get out the knife and use the genestealer sprue.. scary I know but that and greenstuff should work well

then enter it into the Battleforce challenge here

For the guard make it out of a fex like Math did he also made a tyrant out of a fex (he made it bigger than the fex-guards so it fits in) here is a link.

I'm working on Tyrant Guard built up from Stealers with Fex bits added on. I won't be able to take pictures for some time, though, unfortunately.

And go for it on the Lictor! I think that's three people who have done one after looking at that, now ;D

know what would be really really neat... is to see the tyrant guard from biodiversity made, painted, and used in an army, my personal fav is the one with the leafy arms!
