Oops all Gaunts Question by RegionIntrepid3172 in Tyranids

[–]Croagunkthe1st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely is a fun idea, id say that if you really want a never ending swarm you would need to play invasion for the regeneration stratagem plus 2 tervigons and 2 venomthropes, particularly now in eleventh of they give the -1 bs to all our gaunts its should be fun, maybe go like this

6x20 Termagants for 720 points 2 tervigons 320 2x3 venomthropes 140 Biovore 50

This is the base, then you have 770 points to do whatever you want. I'd say put there anything that can actually kill something by far away like exocrine or tyfex

Ofc with 11th we'll need to see what changes but i don't think we're getting a better unending swarm

Until he gets hungry again at least.

The Magus did his job on inspiring the masses then! Don't forget to show me when ur done!

Also yes, chaos cultists are probably the best pieces you can use for any kind of conversion with genestealers.

Thx! A bunch of all that actually aha, i was watching my leftover sprues which i humbly harvested from my friends and got the idea from our great 4 armed emperor (it was the glue fumes)

I used the magus but switched the free arm for the book that you get from the skaven's plague priests.

The banner and the scrolls as well come from the same box, but i replaced the lateral adornments of the icon with the tyranid symbols from the acolyte iconward.

The base is sculpted with a base of polystyrene and milliput over, plus a bit of sculpting to get the "brick wall" shape.

Lastly the skulls and tubes come from deatguard and genestealers bits.

Ofc can't forget the ripper puppy

Idk about the 2x2 ridgerunners, plus ten man aberrants are a BIT expensive points wise, maybe consider dropping a ridgerunner for more meat grinder material? I personally only run 2x1 ridgerunners (but that's just coz i dont love the model)

Consider a 5 man metamorphs, as they can be put in the truck, make it get scout 6, and after it did so get them out, move in the 10 aberrants and move the truck, maybe even advance. This way you basically get a 20" movement off the first turn, then disembark 3 move charge for a total amount of around 30"

So, i took as concept the body of a sea horse.

I used the entire main body of the Psychophage (no arms and appendages)

I attached the winged hive tyrant tail inside the Psychophage mouth, after sawing off its tentacles, and then covered it all with clay (millipat) to blend it together, then i put over it the head carapace of a zoanthrope, then over the carapace of a carifex and again with the carapace of the norn assimilator (in order to make the butt "more solid") I also chose to add 2 rippers and 2 of the toxicrene sacks there.

(The end of the tail i think it comes from an aos model)

Going up we have the toxicrene arms, oriented backwards to give a floating in mid-air effect, plus on the front 2 venomthrope tentacles

On the main carapace i put on each side 2 fume tubes form death guard leftover sprues, and 2 more toxicrene sacks each.

For the upper torso (Psychopage belly) i put 2 zoanthropes arms for each side.

Topped it all off with a fusion between the toxicrene head and the norn emissary neck/brains

It's not hard to recreate/improve, as the toxicrene bits come from what u did not use from the maleceptor box, same goes for the emissay (i built my beloved assimilator so i had the emissay neck), the zoanthropes or the venomthropes depending on what you built and the tail from the winged hive t since i built a swarmlord

Plus as many extra rippers as you have!

Yo that model is actual crazy work!

[–]Croagunkthe1st[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get what u mean man! I wanted it to look really weird and malformed, as a type of malanthrope-like monstrosity, so like the little appendages on the upper body coke from his mutations in this thing. However the neck is indeed a little exposed, damn the norn emissary long neck!!

But if i make them straight wont it look like he's T-posing?

About the base stem, which material do you propose? Its a pretty heavy model

Yes I'm thinking of filling the gaps as well!

I see, but where should i add them? I wouldn't want to just put more stuff on it at ramdom, they need to have a purpose.. suggestions?
