I have got the tervigon kit, but want to make it a memeroble model, so I wish to convert it in some way.
I figured having it stand on 2 feet.
any ideas?

I think, the biggest monster in regular games is memorable as it is. Making it somersaulting only makes it ridiculous.

Give it a saddle.
But get this.
No rider.
Mindferret!

Add some Termagant afterbirth to the base.

You know what must be done.

Oh!
I know!
Give it a vuvuzela!
Whenever it spawns gaunts blow that bad boy like your like depends on it!

AFAIK the leg joints are square shaped so it you rotate them so they make it stand on 2 legs, then make it look as if it were swinging its claws back and forth.like it the fluff.

You might need to pin of greenstuff it into place.

Making it rear up would probably make it look weird - what with the birthing sack hanging down and everything... just my two cent...

Actually that is exactly what the fluff describes. It can shift weight to the rear to slash with its claws.

With those long legs, an upright tervigon would be at quite a game disadvantage due to being a bigger target.

If you have some spare nid bits, there are other options you could look at, e.g. don't use the hooved legs at all, and instead have it walking around on talons. Or I'd like to see carnifex back legs on a tervigon, giving a more upright pose.

Fully erected?

GW also wants you to believe that 4 tiny sticks well behind the center of gravity can hold a Tyrannofex, but it just looks ridiculous. Nobody wants to see a somersaulting pregnant Brontosaurus.

I almost want to do that with my tyranids...

I never really understood the complaints about the legs being too small for the body:

1.) Volume and weight increases to the power of three with length, that's why legs have to be thicker with large monsters. A Tervigon the size of a spider might work though (BTW even a FW Biotitan is not supported by its thin legs, you have to build a support)
2.) A Tyrannofex would still fall flat on its face with all legs far behind its center of gravity.

Well, I wzas talking about the tervigon not the T-fex. though the spider idea might work, give the 3 pairs of MC talons from the (old finecast!) HT and fex kit.
