Hello hive, I've been hard at work the last week or so building this monster.

I bought a toxicrene last month and I torn on what to build. I opted for the Tox and decided I'd try and create my own maleceptor. Now I've had a lot of inspiration from endless google image searches and this is what I've created.

I'm really happy with it, I hope you all enjoy looking at it. Fingers crossed 9th edition will be kind to the maleceptor.

Looks great! Nice greenstuff work. I played a game today and the maleceptor did good work against shooty orks.

How do you get the most out of yours? Do you play defensively or offensively?

Defensively mostly. I use them for encephaltic diffusion to buff my at turn 1/2 or full time if it doesn't die and I'm playing a gunline.

I've used it offensively once when I was facing admech with shooty kastellan robots. I double moved the maleceptor to an easy charge range turn 1, so my opponent had to delete him. He didn't survive the turn, but it helped me swing the game in my favor.

I'm considering using mine for turn 1 and 2 defence, protecting my 3 exocrines while they do the work. By turn 3 onwards there should be targets in range for the maleceptor to go on the offensive.. If it hasn't been killed yet, should be alive, the exos would the target priority right?!

Looks good, how did you do the brain bits, did you use a mould or later on the steps yourself?


I will magnetise my maleceptor/toxicrene head and arms in toxicrene position.

The brains are all done by hand using a ball point sculpting tool. The veins you can see were done by rolling out green stuff very finely and gently pressing them in place. Very fidly that last part.
