Converting a Swarmlord

[apollo]

Ok guys, so I bought a Toxicrene/Maleceptor and built the Toxicrene. I was looking at the Maleceptor head and thought it would look great as a converted Swarmlord head. The problem I am running into is that 1. It looks too large on the Tyrant body, and 2. Would need a considerable amount of cutting to make it fit. I have yet to try to convert/kit bash anything and was hoping you all could help. I was wondering if any of you had any thoughts or tips on how to do that, or which body would actually work better. 

Thanks,
Apollo

Could you provide us with a picture of what you have so far so we might make suggestions? Having not seen the Maleceptor in person its somewhat difficult to judge the scale of the um...scale issue.

HT has a tiny head compared to other MCs. It won't work.

Which is ironic considering the hive tyrants role....

If you add some Carnifex plates and make him look super "turtle-y" then it might work. Probably would require some greenstuffing too.

Use a Carnifex torso, or add extra carapace to hive tyrant one. Wait I have it! Instead of just gluing the chest onto the front, add greenstuff and extend out the front of the torso, make him bulkier, then add the Maleceptor head

hive tyrant head is pretty tiny for that big brain!

Malceptor head is the size of a tyrant torso, would look willy wonka.

I haven't used the Malceptor yet but i would recommend snagging the torso from a mawlock instead
