Hello Dakka!

I found this picture of a really awesome Vespid conversion that someone did (original credit here, maybe?: http://revenantautumn.blogspot.com/2010/09/septembers-random-creations.html )

Anyway, what arms and guns are those? The wings I believe are from the tyranid gargoyles, and the torso/legs/head are kroot, but the arms and guns don't seem familiar? Any help?

Kroot arms with the rifgles cut down. I'm not sure what the bits on the front are; could be Tau guns cut up, or just carved from bits of sprue.

The gun fronts look like large scale suit antennae with the very front part of a Tau pulse weapon slices and diced on the front.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

Kroot arms and kroot rifles.
parts of tau pulse weapons with parts of suit antennae.

The barrel of the gun are drone antennae with the nubs at the end cut off and a hole drilled into it. I have no idea what the prongs are made of but you could probably make a good approximation with shaved down sprue or plasticard.
