Tyrant Kit Question

[andersschm]

I am tempted by the plastic hive tyrant kit in order to make myself a 2nd flyrant however I also have a spare metal hive tyrant kit lying around.

I am wondering if I buy the plastic kit and assemble it into a devil flyrant, with the remainder of the plastic kit combined with the metal hive tyrant kit be able to make a full swarmlord or will I be missing any pieces?

Unless you want to be funny about what the swarm lords head looks like, the swarm lord only really needs his 4 bone sabres. So I guess its just a case of having 4 arm slots on your metal tyrant?

So I just build the metal tyrant as normal but then use the four boneswords from the plastic kit?

Doesn't the swarmlord have a different head I could use as well?

[baconslice]

Yea he has a diff head you could put on. The sabres are different to the bone swords. But they come in the box as well (they look pretty much as the bone swords).
Dry fit first to make sure your happy.
Plus google image swarmy, you'll se what he's like.

If you look at the Tyrant Kit on GW's site, they've got pictures of the Sprues that show everything that comes in the box.

I've just done this last week and all the pieces are in the plastic kit. I pulled the arms and head off my old metal tyrant and put the swarmlord head and bonesabres onto it then built the rest of the plastic kit as a flyrant. Now just waiting on my devourer arms to get here for the flyrant as the kit doesn't have them

I clipped the devourers off my unused Termagants sprues and greenstuffed them to a clipped-off Stranglethorn cannon (magnetized so I can always have a Strangler if I feel like it). I used four devourers to represent 2x 2 TL Devs. Gatling Devourer for the win!

Thanks guys, I hopefully have enough devourers lying around from my fexes, termies and tyranid warriors!

Looking forward to two flyrants and swarmie on the board together.
