Tyranid Prime conversion NOW PAINTED

[bite]

Hey there, this is my first post on TTH.

I've just finished my second Tyranid Prime and got quite happy with the result and so I wanted some of your opinions on it.
My GS skills are still a little on the low side, but I'm working on it

I think when its painted up it will look pretty smart!

That guys legs look a little too spindly to me. like the stance have a very similar thing going on with my tyrant but he is standing on the rhino he ripped to shreds.

I Like it. Looks fast.

Although in the first pic where the head is viewed straight on it really does look like he's skateboarding with a safety helmet on

Good work though. Want to see it painted up.

The head and the spore chimneys on its back look a wee bit out of proportion with the body and legs.
However, it still looks really good. Stance is awesome; it would be even better if you put a mangled/killed/splattered SMurf under or right next to his right foot. Just my suggestion though.

i like it, lets see it painted now

The vents on the back look too big for the model.

The left leg looks a bit too stretched.

Otherwise I like the model and especially the direction you are taking with the pose. Very dynamic.

Looks like a slim and sleek cc beast. Very nice!

The scales on the head might be a bit oversized, considering the general agile impression. The vents was a very good idea, an easy and smart way to make it look like one of the leader beasts.

I like it.

I'm doing something similar for a 3rd edition Tyrant to Swarmlord conversion.
The junction between the face and the sides of the head seems a little odd, almost like a really wide chinstrap for keeping his helmet on. To remedy this I'd shift the head further back on the neck, and resculpt that area to have mor overhang of the carapace to the sides of the head.

Ninja!!!!

Honestly, I like the vents. The posing is also fantastic, as is the base detail and the swords.

My one issue is the head...looks far to large, in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback, I can see some have different opinions on some of the parts

I can see that the head might be too big, but I basically went for it because of my other Prime, which has the same and thought they should be somehow similiar.

Anyway, I got this thing painted. It´s a little rough, but I have a schedule for a 1750 pts army for December 1. so it´s gotta be a little quick.




How you like it?
