Harpy build.

[demoric]

Okay I have created a Tervigon out of bits, and milliput, 2 Flyrants using 3rd edition tyrants, now on to me next project... The Harpy.

I am just at a loss as to which I should arm it with? I lean towards the barbed strangler because I love using large templates, and it seems to fit with the theme of my army. Lots of flying and large templates.

I just wanted opinions if I should use the Heavy Venom Cannon instead.

magnetize the gun arms for both options if you're going to bother to mod one up. 6th edition is around the corner, who knows what evil lurks in, er, what surprises are in store.

I am ordering a converted one on ebay and then I'll be putting on some final touches on the model that I think should be included. I'll just order the Barbed Strangler as I have the extra bits for a Heavy Venom Cannon, and can chop the model if I need to in 6th.

Here is mine before I painted it fully...

Just a Carnifex with Torso flip and the new wings from Hive Tyrant box and I converted the guns from Deathspitters and Barbed Stranglers.

I didn't magnetize them since nobody really cares or knows what the guns are supposed to look like where I play. So WYSIWYG isn't that important. However someone here suggested using magnets between the Deathspitter arms and the Barbed Strangler/Venom Cannon barrels for easy swap out.

add the sycthing tallons from your kit on the rear legs. I like how you did the guns though!

My wife suggested that I use demon prince wings for my harpy conversion. I have STs for the hind leg slot of the Carnifex body, the ST Cannons and V Cannons ready but was a bit up in the air getting another set of Hive Tyrant wings for this conversion.

I really like this conversion and it inspired me to gather my extra parts to change an old tervigon model into a harpy (also gives me an excuse to buy another tervigon kit).

I wouldn't use daemon prince wings, they're rather small for that model. I used a pair to make wings for my parasite of mortex, but anything larger than a warrior will make them look kinda puny.

Thanks for the response, going to have to go with the tyrants wings then.

[reallysorry]

I might just go ahead and build this tbh. I'm wondering if LoTR Balrog wings would fit since Hive Tyrant wings are not sold separately and i don't have an extra set lying around ...

Have you looked on eBay? They usually have some tyrant wings on there for fairly cheap. At least cheaper than buying a while 'nother model.
