Looking very good! I think your Haruspex needs a smaller head though - maybe try a Ripper's head for size? Smaller heads make the models look bulkier without making the model bigger too. The Zoanthrope looks like an excellent start too - what size base is that, 2mm x 25mm? |

I agree wholeheartedly, I may give it a try since the head looks way out of proportion, it just happened to be what I had sitting around. Quote: The Zoanthrope looks like an excellent start too - what size base is that, 2mm x 25mm? Thank you and the base is 20mm x 20mm x 2mm I am going to post later in the other post i made about basing, I want to watch what size I base things lest I get cheesed in close combat. |

Looking like very good Zoanthrope proxies! Are you using plasticard for he head armour? Also looks like the DRM bugs are a good base for 'Fexes. madmagician wrote: (unless I come up on about 14 more pair of Geanstealer claws) Tried Ebay? Plenty for sale cheaply here! |

I am, I am using .005 (.13mm) for the head armor and .015 (.4mm) for the claws and back plates. I use Lacquer thinner to bond the styrene and soften it for the bend and give it some texture Quote: Also looks like the DRM bugs are a good base for 'Fexes. They are great models, some of the casting artifacts are a bit frustrating and the metal is a bit soft for my liking, but otherwise amazing minis! Quote: madmagician wrote: (unless I come up on about 14 more pair of Geanstealer claws) Tried Ebay? Plenty for sale cheaply here! Thanks for the tip, that will make a lot of my conversions easier, and I won;t have to try to press cast bits either |

Heh, I really like the oversized claws, and the hunched look they give the models. Good job with all of these; it's a real pleasure to see them coming together into a recognisable force! |

Good job with all of these; it's a real pleasure to see them coming together into a recognisable force! I hafta admit that when it comes to these I am taking a bit of artistic license with the size of the claws . When I think Tyranids, I think Teeth, and claws and I want those to be a focal point of the model! |
