Gaunt with Strangleweb

[gibbothehutt]

Some days ago I started doing this conversion. The basic idea was to create a Strangleweb by "opening" a Devourer, but the results weren't good enough (actually, I cut myself in the process, so I was a little angry about that). Instead of opening the Devourer, I choose to cut away the flesh cone and make the Strangleweb with some green stuff. This is the result:



And now, put the web inside of it:



What do you think?

its a good start, I'm glad that you finished off the plate on top. you should get some files and a hobby knife and work in more details into the strangleweb.

Make sure stick a load of 'gloop' on that net, otherwise it's not going to look organic enough. Water Effect or some epoxy resin should do it.

[gibbothehutt]

Well, I thought of covering it with some PVA... Do you think it will be good anyway?

In any case, I've made some improvements:







I've add two pipes on the strangleweb and improved the green stuff...

Is it just me, or does that look really clunky for what gaunts usualy carry...

Other then that, the net idea is good, but I'd add like 3-4 tiny spikes at diametrical opposite poles of the net, to like "grab" on the target, and as halos suggested, make it look sticky / gooey.. it's just too clean like that.

My 2¢

Ciao compare ;-) Molto carina l'idea, compresa l'aggiunta delle gambe del ripper! Comunque tutti i consigli che avrei potuto dare sono già stati espressi sopra, quindi...buon lavoro ^^

Nice concept (the particular of the ripper's legs too) but all the suggestions I'd make are already written above, so good work ^^

Looks good, but maybe you should make the edges of the web less straight; to make it look more organic... Just a thought...

I made eight of these guys ages ago. Never really got to finish/play them.
It's basically the same thing you've got, just with less claws & it's not being fired. Nice effect.

hang it upside down by the tail, and put some pva glue on the back of the net, so that it looks like the web is both wet and sticky, and in motion. i think its a pretty good idea as it is, even if the gun is a bit simplistic and gloppy. the added details hide the worst of it though, and make it look a little better, maybie a bit more detail, and flesh out the firing cone a bit maybie

[gibbothehutt]

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll do the whole work when I'd have enough time (actually I can get busy with my Nids only in the weekends...)
We'll see here soon...

Hi guys! I've been out for a while, so I guess none remember me... But, anyway, here we are again with this poor gaunt!



First, I'm sorry for the really bad quality of the picture... My family took away my digital camera, so I used the mobile...

Well, as drinhkinn suggested, I've added three spikes on the net to make it more lethal-like, then i glued it with some PVA to make it more organic. Ok, in this picture you can't see that, but I think it works now. I'll post other images when it's painted.

[gibbothehutt]

Here he is! Finally painted!

Really Cool! I Want one!

[Ripper01]

Cool!

Necro, but pretty cool model. Paintjob leaves somewhat to be desired, but who am I to complain?
