Im thinking about to use Hormagaunts as Raveners. I simply have to cut them from their disk, cut off the legs put a tail on them with Green Stuff or similar and voilá! Raveners at a more reasonable scale than using Wh40k Rippers. I could base them 3 to a stand. What do you guys think? |

I think it's a great idea, but I'm biased. http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod...._trygon http://www.cheddarmongers.org/prod....pg.html (Wow, there's another thing I have to finish.) Remember to let the putty cure a little, before rolling and before shaping the tail.

@Vermis: Actually this scratchbuild Trygon gave me the idea @Warmaster Nice. Why expensive? Because i have to sacrifice Hormagaunts? Well i got hold of about 20 sprues of Tyranids for around 85€ Thats 20 units of Hormagaunts...so i will have a few to spare

In the first link of that post, isnt that ravenor based on the 40k unit a bit big for Epic? When I look at the 40k units they seem just a bit bigger than the normal lesser creatures. But I have to admit, it looks good! |

The Wh40k Gaunt to Epic model conversion isn't a Ravener it's a Trygon. |

Ah okay. Didnt exactly know such a thing existed. But I think this picture describes it very well. |

Yep. Thats a Wh40k Trygon Need some for Epic as well. I have only one of the old worm-like ones.Actually i plan to use lots of Trygons and Raveners. Snakes are the theme of my Hivefleet Ereshkigal  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ereshkigal |

I have to say, that I kinda like Tyranids, even considering I generally do not like this kind of stuff. I am more the lean technology kinda guy or considering fantasy most of the time some elvish stuff strikes me. But the snakethingy tyras are especially nice. I think a ravener is by far my favorite tyranid model. Its the coolest in Dawn of War 2 as well. And thats quite an idea you have there using greek/mesopotamian mythology as your inspiration for a hivefleet. I like it very much. |

Actually it's Babylonian mythology   I thought about Greek mythology but noone seems to be able to pronounce or even write Hivefleet Hekatoncheiros correctly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hecatonchires |
