It depends on how brave you are
Repositioning the head and one leg is basically impossible. You can quite easily repose the upper limbs and the occiput tentacle by cutting and gluing back but if you are not experienced in this the results can be disastrous. I advise using sprue-goo, a file and lots of practice beforehand.

Yikes! Why didn't they make this a dual kit with regular lictors?

Is there any way to repose the neurolictor? Im planning to get two and i dont want clones on tactical scenery doing instagram poses

It’s possible. I’m gonna make all three of mine different. One vanilla, one leaping forward (like this one I’ve done) and one standing upright facing forward (yet to do).

Needs some careful trimming and stuffing the gaps. But it can be done.

Nice! Also planning on trying to repose my second neurolictor when it arrives.

First one went together well. Really like the lictors kit, I think it's so well designed to get different poses out of a single kit. Gives room to really make your lictors just that little bit different from the next person's.

Haven't built my deathleaper yet, saving it for last after all the stories I've heard about it

Does anyone have new Vores? How do like those models? I got 6 printed and they seem nice.

Post some pics. I think I'm just going to rebase my older models as long as it the base isn't so big as to look silly. What is the size of their base?

Built a hormogant box last night. It's quite an impressive kit. I'm very impressed with the variety of the poses. The models are so dynamic. Will really add flavor to my existing swarms.

What madness is this. 80mm, what else uses that?

Screamer killer is a 90mm.

Norns are on a 100mm.

This is becoming madness.

Those are assembled from 3 pieces, cleaned and sitting on the 80mm base provided with the minis (also printed as you can see).

I'm not crazy about the new spider look on these. Nice prints, but it's not my cup of tea aesthetic wise. If the old vore kits look too ridiculous on the big base I'll probably print the old model and scale it up 20-30%.

I've got a smattering of old vores, mostly kitbashed and on aquatic bases. If I update to 80mm, I'll just add more water and probably some swimming rippers for variety
