Scorpion Tyrant, Boss Bug, (pics).

[leechy]

This is Scorpion tyrant, the new big boss for my swarm which I've based on scorpions. I used lots of parts in this model as I wanted a Hive tyrant that was big and looked like a scorpion to lead my swarm.

I liked doing parts like the forked tongue and the tubes connected to the toxin sacs. The base also has scorpions form the Tomb swarm added to it. They took ages to remove.

Hope you like. Comments, questions, criticism welcome.

Thanks. I got all thos barbed stranglers from when I painted up loads of Tyranid warriors for people. I would get one set and then paint/sell it. Then two more and so on. Over time along with my own Warrior boxes I amassed a huge heap of spare parts from the Tyranid warriors.

Thanks to everybody who said stuff.

That sounds like a great way to accumulate conversion materials.
Either way, the things you do... I couldn't pull off half of that, even with unlimited resources.

This is what happened: In 1985 Chuck Norris' and Mr. T's fists collided in such awesomeness to produce Micheal Phelps. Who inadvertently made such an awesome poopy that eventually it hatched and grew into this model.

Awesome model!

If I HAD to criticize it, I would say that the model is a bit too "crowded" with awesome-looking spikes and stuff. But I'm not in any position to complain right now, am I...

I can understand what you mean about it being very crowded. I did add lots of spikes to it and this did make it hard to paint. I think I was aiming for that kind of look that insects have when they have loads of extra limbs and so on.

Thanks to people's comments. ;D

Very impressing model done here:::::::::::

My favorite part of this conversion is the use of the horns from a pair of 4th edition Tyrant heads to make its mandibles.
