Hive Fleet Red Locust Evolves

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

So in the process of preparing for Apocalypse, I have made some Gaurgantuan Beasties and given my models nice new paint jobs. My original scheme didn't really distinguish between carapace and exoskeleton (something that has always bothered me). I also need more 'red' for Red Locust.

First for the Large Creatures. Bio-titan Hierophant:


Hierodule:


Tyrgon:


Sniper tyrant and Guard:


Fexes magnetized to be Dakka or Sniper varieties:


Zoanthropes (2 converted from bits):


Warriors (converted from lizardmen Coldones):


Lictors:


Raveners:


And my favorite, DakkaFlyrant:


I'll re-edit this post when I finish my 124 guants,24 gargoyles, 24 'stealers and 10 Rippers

UPDATE:
Ripper Swarms:


Gaunts (spinefist & fleshborer)


Hormagaunts:


Gargoyles (made from termagaunts and clear plastic):


Genestealers (old and new):

My guess is that it is going to be a while; sounds like you've got your hands full

WOOW nice work

That color scheme is very cool, great work on the carapace and talons

[Vodski]

This is the spirit of the game/hobby that I love to see. Great models with your own style. Sticking it to forgeworld and GW.

They really look deadly!
What was the Bio-titan Hierophant made of? Those legs really are big.

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

The Bio-titan was made from the 'frame-work' of an Yu-gi-oh toy (Slifer the Sky Dragon), but only the tail and lower jaw are visable from the original toy as I have covered it with hot-glue, green stuff and Fex bits. The legs are scratch built from wire, hot-glue and poster/matte board.

p.s. new pics have been added!

nice work! hey quick question... did you guys ever notice that the tau symbol is in halo like 15 times for instance on the moniter's light, and on the pillar of automn at the end of the game?

[Koyori]

genestealer1414: yes we did notice, and please don't go off topic.

Very nice army here btw. Keep up the good work, and I hope we will get to see a Malanthrope and Harridan from you in a not to far off future.

possibly the weirdest and most unique color scheme ive seen, but you managed to pull it off

[ryshi]

so, i've fallen madly in love with your trygon model for some reason, how did you go about making it?

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

It is just a fex with 3rd ed. scything talons and a body segment from a Yu-gi-oh toy (Slifer the Sky Dragon) for the tail. To be more specific, it has the tusked head, the upper 2 sets of arms are from the plastic 3rd ed. MC weapon sprue (still found in a Warrior box set) and the lower set are the metal scy tals from 3rd ed. ravener/lictor/tyrant/fex/red terror.

As far as the lower body, I got it from someone, so I don't know where you can find the toy, but I used it to build all 3 of my FW critters (arms for the Heirodule/Heirophant and body, head & tail of the Heirophant).

All you're stuff looks so cool!

P.S.
Can I use you're design for the Trygon?

[zeazer]
