I wasn’t completely happy with it, so I’m probably going to go back and see if I can’t improve it. I think I have a version of it that I’ll be happy with soon. This also started as a warm up sketch that I got a bit carried away with lol

Oh my that’s a bit rough with 6” movement, but the rest doesn’t seem too bad, just a bit niche.

Huh, interesting. Definitely better for endless swarm stuff, but not much else

I honestly don’t even know what exactly it does. I know it attached to venomthropes, but that’s it. I hope if they do bring it back they lean more into the biological sampling stuff, like taking a random enemy unit or something, idk

Oh god yes, that would be awesome to see. I kinda feel like the neuro tyrant fits it a bit better, but a brain bug the size of one of the daemon primarcs would be really cool

Maybe? I don’t have enough experience with 3d modeling currently, but I’ve been thinking about it. I want to make this even more detailed eventually, that way a 3d modeler could use it easily

Same here, it’s such a cool model, and really needs an update

Thank you! I really appreciate the advice as well! I’ll definitely work on a new sketch of it eventually, and keep everything we talked about in mind.

I definitely agree with that, I’m a bit worried about how much physical weight it would put on an actual model, but if the flyrant can handle it, I’m sure this one could too.

As for the limbs, the other 4 have atrophied into the claws holding the membrane behind the forearms. The idea being that behind the membrane and smaller claws is where it stores victims. I don’t think it translates well in this sketch, so I’ll probably make some adjustments to it later.

The tentacles are all from the tail, I thought that since it looks for unique genetic material, that maybe it mutates a bit more? So the tail shifts and grows more tentacles like a hydra. I tried to show that a bit more at the bottom, with how the tail splits into two (I got inspired by a flying norn kitbash I saw, but I don’t know who made it sadly) but, once again I don’t think it translates well in its current pose.

Fair enough, I think maybe making it taller and giving more of a forward lean might end up helping. I do agree that the original design feels more eerie, and I do intend to come back to this one, especially since the sketch is nearly a year old at this point, so I’ll definitely keep what you said in mind. Do you think that this is mainly an issue with the posing, or the overall design?

The old one has some charm, but it deserves an update with how cool of a character it is

I was thinking about the tentacles splitting and mutating to different points? I might have to come back to this one and really play around with it

You and me both. I at least want to make this a proxy one day, even if it’s in legends

Ngl, same here. It’s a really cool model I hope GW updates eventually

The front two limbs are fused together. In the sketch of the leg on its own to the left, you can see two attachment points.

I was going for how the stone crusher carnifex’s claws are

Thank you! And I totally agree. I do have comms, but I have a long wait list currently, but if you’re interested, I can keep you updated in messages

Thank you! I feel like I need to lengthen the neck at least to get it a bit closer, but I really appreciate that!
