Broodlord (and genestealers)

Not entirely sure what to name these guys after, I think maybe dingoes... oh well here they are, The broodlord started life as a warrior, but with a cut off tail, a more upright body and a greenstuffed head (i'm not really happy with the head yet, but am unsure what to do about it as yet) I htink he looks pretty good.

I modeled the finders to look as if he was pointing at something and when I'm finished his other hand will be holding a space maring body. I also have a few more genestealers I will be converting coming up. (In fact I will be entering one of them in a painting comp in about a week's time, I'll put him up after that)

Lactrodectus Finished (well not painted yet but still)

So the bug which spawned the idea of this list, Lactrodectus Hasselti - the red back spider

Here are my conversions for Tervigons, there are no models for these yet (for those who don't know) so here are my conversions for them, One of my past posts has all the artwork for them. There are two models shown here. I used perspex for the bases cut into circles the size of a cd (it has the same diameter as the long edge of a trygon base) this has it's advantages sometimes, but mostly I find it can get in the way for movement, it's just a huge base on most maps! But I feel it fits the feel of how big it's supposed to be, so I'm happy

I used the Carnifex kit and lots of green stuff/milliput (an epoxy putty). If anyone is interested in the nuts and bolts of how I did it, I'd be happy to write it up

Lactrodectus Hasselti 1

 I'm particularly proud of the little guy who is in the middle of being birthed :D

 And a side on piccy

 this is the second one, a bit longer but pretty similar

 And another side on

The Rainbow snake appears

Named after the Rainbow snake form aboriginal myth, Woonambi comes forth (it's a Trygon, just in case that wasn't obvious :P)

So one of them was fully magnetised, one done in the standard pose and one was converted to be leaping forward

Magnetised with nothing

 

Magnetised kitted out as a Trygon

 Standard Pose

Leaping forward, front on

 

Leaping forward side on 

Wow, long time off......

So I've been away for a while helping my parents out (they had a house fire) but I managed to get some hobby time in there while I was away, just haven't been able to put anything up, so here comes a barage of posts with the stuff I've been working on... enjoy!

Sneak Peak at Lactrodectus Hasselti - Tervigon conversion

Hello. So one of the next beasties I'm making is a Tervigon, sort of like a giant walking incubator. the difficulty is that, although there are rules for using said beasty, there are no models relased by Games Workshop as of yet. So I thought I'd make one :D. As to what it's supposed to look like we have one picture and a bit of a description officially, however there are a heap of ideas on the net. Here is my guy so far, still a work in progress but coming along quite nicely I think

Oh by the way Lactrodectus Hasselti is the red back spider. I figured a giant spider like creature walking across the battle and giving birth to hundreds of little gribblies fit the red back quite nicely :D

This is the official artwork I'm going from

 

Here is my effort so far. The little man next to him is a Space marine (for those who don't know) and is supposed to be a genetically enhanced human and over 8 foot tall :D

Gangurru unleashed - Tyranid (Warrior) Prime Conversion

Here is Gangurru (sound it out or google it to find out which animal he is :P). For those of you who don't know the Warrior Prime is the leader of the army and is supposed to be heavily armed and armoured. So I took the normal box set warrior and added some more armour over the chest plate and used some green stuff (moddeling clay that sets hard) to make some weapons. I also magnetised the arms so that he can have different sets of weapons. Enjoy

The Box artwork

The Lash Whips - quite complex to make as the party was soft, I held it in place while it dried with bent paper clips :D

And here is the finished Prime with Lash whips, Bone sword and Deathspitter (gun) 

And again with scything talons and deathspitter(gun). Notice the chest plate is different from the artwork. I added this because he is supposed to be more armoured then your average warrior. This is actually a Trygon groin plate that I cut up a bit, fit well actually

Malo Kingi is born - Venomthrope Conversion

Malo Kingi, the scientific name for one of the most poisonous jellyfish in Australia and the world. I thought this was perfect for the Venomthrope who floats around the battlefield on gas bladders and excretes clouds of the most potent poison known in the 40k universe. In addition it has lash whips (tentacles!!)
