Broodlord.. Have I made a terrible mistake?

[hopewell]

Decided that I didn't want the Ghosar mounted on the pipe, and I'm going through an Industrial/snow-capped theme with my nids, so the GSC fits in perfectly. One theme being an assembly line, per se.

Thoughts?

The conversion itself is nice (although the angle of the picture is unclear).

Whether it's gona look good in an open field is another question.

More pictures!
Can not see the legs.
The tilt does seem of. Slightly more bend to the front could be more natural.
But moar pics needed.

Might me when you snow it up and paint it it just works.
It is a nice alternative...
As for myself... I really liked the pipe

[hopewell]

There are a few gaps in the claws I'm going to fill with snow after painting. Also plan on painting the base, adding a layer of snow before dropping on the pallet.

Angle seems okey from that point of view

Will the familiar be put under the pauldron?

Look great and i am looking forward to a wip or painted version

[hopewell]

I was contemplating adding one to the base, but I'm not 100% sure about the Familiar models if I'm honest. They're currently still sat on the sprue for that very reason.

If broodlords ever become viable again this guy will probably be put to dual use..

Broodlords are ahhright. They can more than hold their own. I have list that runs 8 with 3 flyrants. I came in 3rd at a tournament. Was on a desert table with no ruins or forest for my last game. I almost tied it on last turn, but I had lost too many units and couldn't quite do it.

I like the conversion. It will work or not work based on the paintjob. Your conversion is plenty good.

Even small changes, like from pipe to your snow, will help things stand out. Doooo eeeet.

Also, love the snow idea. I did my night goblins that way, as snow-goblins.

You should put something under that pauldron, the familiar would be one possibility.
