Forgive the terrible picture quality! I wanted to model the biomorphs that I usually take on my Broodlord, so I took pieces from a couple of different Tyranid kits and added them. While the Extended Carapace and the Toxin Sacs aren't very noticeable, I think the Flesh Hooks look great. I tried doing Feeder Tendrils but that didn't work out so well. I decided that his tongue would have to represent those. He's still got the "hug me" pose, but the flesh hooks really do make a difference to it. He has now been basecoated and anxiously awaits my brush...as does almost everything else I own.
In other news, the Dire Avengers are almost finished! Just a little bit of highlights and touch ups, plus basing and they will be finished.
Nice added touch. Looking forward to seeing it painted.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of adding feeder tendrils to my next broodlord. Wondering what might work best. Did you try to create tendrils, or convert them from left over genestealer feeders?
I tried to run two tentacle type things down the side of his face. There's a perfect groove for it on either side of his face, but I could not get it to look right. I had taken the tubes from a gaunt devourer and tried to convert that into the tentacles.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could chop off the front of his face and use a Lictor's tendrils? With enough green stuff it just might work.
