help with electroshock grub conversion

[zarenkenial]

So I recently tore apart one of my tervigon models and turned it back into a tyrannofex. The problem I face is that the belly of the beast is caked with super glue residue. I've removed what I could but there are blemishes that need to be covered up. Than a thought struck me. Great opportunity to convert some electroshock grubs! I just have no idea how I'm going to approach this. So I turn to you guys. Anyone have any ideas to help me brainstorm a solution?

Any tips would help tremendously.

Thw thorax biomorphs seem written purposely to not require modeling. Maybe create some pores on the torso, if you don't like green stuff, hack up some spare devourers or those scenery bits that come with genestealers and glue them over the damaged torso.

How bad is the damage? Any pictures?

[zarenkenial]

The damage isn't too bad. It's just imperfect and this doesn't sit well with me considering I'm a perfectionist. I'm confident enough with my green stuff skills to make a kind of sac to cover it up. I just can't think of anything that would look like little grubs pouring out of it. I'm planning on having a legless space marine at the base, surrounded by a pool of corrosive acid, looking up to face the tyrannofex with a tide of grubs about to pour into him.

I'll try and get some pics up tonight.

There's an ancient thread (2002 or so) where someone made casualties from nid weapons into objective markers. One of them matches your description.

In lieu of my finding it, for maggots you could either do a fine roll of green stuff and cut it every 2-3 mm, or get a cheap garlic press or play doh extruder to make a whole mess of grubs. Some paint, a shade wash, and gloss varnish should look nice and gross for a whole wriggling pile of stuff. Tack a few onto the torso clinging and about to drop to highlight the points of origin.

I've seen some awesome looking nurgle conversions people do with green stuff, that turn out INCREDIBLY gross.. That might be a goo place to start looking

Hi, I made this conversion on my Walkrant to represent thorax biomorphs using the Carnifex Spore Cyst carapacce (before 6ed codex release was intended to be the old extended carapacce).

maybe you will inspire.

Nice conversion there voracious. It inspires me indeed. I'm thinking of using fleshborer hive arms to make the frame that will both cover the worst of the ugly and provide a good base to sculpt the sac with all the tiny gribblies. I'm also thinking that Romorini's suggestion of rolling and cutting up a bunch of little grubs is ultimately the best option to get a good result. I'm gunna get to work on this asap. Pics to follow shortly.

Thanks for the help and inspiration!

voracious is on to something. you don't need plastic carapace parts, but maybe just sculpt some similar green stuff barnacles on the glue affected areas.
