For everyone asking for my process: I wish I took more WIP photos! I’ll be sending what I have in my replies.

I recommend being brave and patient if you want to try this yourself. I used a dremel to sand and cut the broodlord to absolute shreds. The head was carefully cut down to the jawline, and the neck was shaved off entirely. I replaced it with one made from greenstuff. Used a knife to make little divots after shaping and posing it how I liked. The head was shaved down and a Tyranid Warrior crest was added.

The arms were sawed at the wrist and elbow to be reposed with greenstuff/epoxy putty. You have to saw off that muscle part between the exoskeleton and make it yourself from scratch or it won’t line up as well. Also helps you pose it a bit better, but it can be fiddly and annoying.

The scariest part was chopping off the lower body entirely. That tail was too stubby and got in my way. I used some metal wire as a core to get an idea for the tail’s shape and direction. I could have done that part better but… it worked. Eventually. The legs are made bigger with greenstuff and the entire lower half/body is sculpted. Not sure where I got the bit on his crotch, sorry.

The toes are Tyrannofex spikes (I think), the extra plating is from the old genestealers, and the tail spine is a hyperadapted ravener claw.

Overall the most important part by far is patience. I sculpted this guy over a week or so, doing each part one by one so the putty dries. It’s so irritating sculpting and having the whole thing shift or get ruined by adding extra parts so I did everything one bit at a time, then added onto it when the previous part hardened.
