Hi all,
Even though you can just use the tendrils head now, I felt the urge to try to convert some ymgarl genestealers.
Due to a way too good camera, the file and greenstuff work look a mess. I really should try to work the greenstuff looking through a magnifying glass... Nothing that can't be fixed though.
I have just recently begun to convert models, so please feel very welcome to comment!
Inspirational keys were:
- "Their claw-tipped fingers can quickly elongate and fuse together to form curved blades and barbed hooks, or split apart as ropes of sinewy tendon to slash and ensnare..."
- "Ymgarl Genestealers have a writhing mass of tentacles..."
- "...uncontrollable instability..."
- anything that could be associated with or represent form alterings.
Ymgarl 1
Assymetrically placed spiky bits here and there, tentacle arm with hook, larger talons.
Ymgarl 2
Poison sacks, and extra scales on the back.
Ymgarl 3
Small tentacle in armpit, long tentacle from left side, part of ripper for head.
Ymgarl 4
Larger shoulder scales for head extension, extra scales on the back, one leg forward to illustrate some lurking/sneaking walk.
Ymgarl 5
Flesh hooks, larger talons, a bit streightened out posture.
Ymgarl 6
Parts of flesh hooks for fingers, gargoyle head scales attached on top of the tendril head complemented by (maybe a bit too much) greenstuff.
Ymgarl 7
Parts of flesh hooks for fingers (two spikes on right hand and three on left), tentacly spiky fingers.
Ymgarl 8
Part of ripper for head, on-its-way-to-the-left-pose.
Ymgarl 9
Parts from 3 rippers and a gargoyle tail for head, larger talons. (Elephant look alike effect totally unintended!
)
Ymgarl 10
Two double talons, adrenal glands on back, ripper for head.
