Tyranids of mortequin

[mortequin]

Hi folks,
Name is mortequin and I just got here to share thoughts and of course pictures of my now revived hive fleet >insert name<...

In the light if the current crisis and the plethora of free time to build convert and paint gribblies, I have finally time to tackle low g time projects!

So enough talk!

OOE! (oops... see attachments)

Actually I tackled this one because I love the Carnifex, and who is better to lead those bugs than their meanest version?

Tbh i just got the Haruspex'/Exocrines' legs and tail and a Trygon's torso for building a Tyrannofex. (i don't like the actual model so much). But plans changed for something better (see below) so I was stucked with those parts...

Now I started for a painting competition in my local GW store ("a boss thing)"...

To continue immediately,
here comes the Tyranid prime

I aim to equip him with double bone swords and Deathspitter as well as adrenal glands and toxinsacs.

Though I know by fluff the tyranid prime is not too far away from the standard warriors (the imperial strategists didn't notice the prime in the first place) I wanted a mean, duelling snake warrior. with having a finecast tyrantguard, a happily smiling head of a 4th edition ravener and a spare snake body, I could start!

btw. sorry about the second pic. It should define the shape at least.

Last big thing for now is the aforementioned Tyrannofex... in pieces.

As you can see, I have to finish assembling the fore limbs, decide where to put them (position 1 or 2?).

And GS work. A LOT of greenstuffing.

Thx for comments, suggestions, praise and critics

CONTENT Update!

*cough*

Well I just want to add the newest progress on my projects!

I have broadened the T-Fex' back carapace a bit. this way I want to show overlapping plates, worthy a 2+ armour safe.

Btw. if something doesn't work out with the pictures, please let me know!

Interesting work! Keep it up! I'd like to see those painted! ^^

More progress on the T-Fex. 

I tried to give him a more armored look, since it won't be as beefy as the stock model.

For the stinger salvo I am aiming for a manticore-style stinger-slinging (triple) tail.

Too bad I am out of green stuff  now...

Keep it up! Looking forward to the finished result!
