the added blue stuff makes the model a lot bigger then a standard carni.... Which i really like good show. looks almost hive tyranty ?

Some what! It does look tyranty. Next step is to get it painted!

It really makes it look unique! Like it!

It's a good conversion.

Thanks, I just primered it, and started painting it. I am working on a Tyranid Harpy and a Vindicator. I will post pics eventually!

Make sure you sand it a bit if you know what I mean.
That is my favorite Carnifex I have ever seen.

Thanks Honaw. I couldnt have done the pose without your suggestions.

Ok, so i did some more conversion work, and will be making a Harpy out of this. I have the reposition the head, build up the neck with greenstuff, and have to resmooth the tail. And finally add wings.

I really want to know if the tail looks good.

Just needs some smoothing to put it in line with the plastic. Oh, and I would suggest poking holes and such to continue the pattern from the plastic tail.

What wings are you thinking of using?

Im not exactly sure. I was thinking about LOTR Barlroge wings, but im not sure if they would be big enough. My plan is buy those, or buy a plastic toy with good looking wings, and then.........CANIBALISE!!!!!! MUAHHHHAAAAA! Ehem.....So thats my current plan. Good idea with the Tail though, I did not think of that.

I really am impressed Imperial Renegade! Looks great!

Thanks Honaw! I will be posting some pictures at the end of the day of my WIP Vindicator, And my WIP Carnifex. I have him around 50% Painted, and look foward to seeing what you think.

Dam! This is good! Love the conversion work man! Keep it up!

Thanks HAZZER I will try and get some pics up soon!

Cool!

Ok, so hear are some pictures of my Vindicator and my Carnifex! Hope you like!

Nice work on the Carni! I like the "smoke" stacks on the back....nice blend as it looks organic and not like armor! The Vindi is really nice! Like it a lot. The freehand is better then what I could ever do! I was at the flgs getting some red paints for my Blood Angels and took a look at the Space Wolves grey and it looks pretty much like that.....maybe a bit brighter.

Thanks bud. I was pleased with the results.

Is it grainy on the vindi or is that the pic.

Its the picture. I hate when it does that! What do you think of the fade effect on the edges of the yellow?

I like it....really makes it look like it has more depth!

The vindicator looks great.

Thanks everyone, Do any of you suggest a good color to highlight the blue with? I wanted two different layers of highlighting, but cant seem to decide on a color. I also washed the carnifex in my signiture Burnt red, painted his sack that he holds, that goes to his Biomorph, Finished his face, and Drybrushed on the Bleached Bone. I will take Pictures, hopefully later today.

You might try shading if you dont like extreme highlights. Just a shade higher then the color you have..... dont want it to look cartoony.

Cool, it looks like Tyranids are getting some new cool kits this month, one looks like a big breeder bug.

Yeah, It is called the Tervigon. It awsome! Im kinda looking foward to the thunder Wolf calvery! @ HONAW, Yeah, I think im going to use Codex Grey Rather then the bleched bone for the highlight. We Will see.

Ok, so I did more work on the carnifex last night. Here are the pictures!

Wow! Very cool..... I like that the red is blochy with the drybrushing.... super cool!

I am a true fan of the realistic bug look that some very good painters put on their nids.....


Yours are in that group. I love the teeth and the red/black shading on the chest and limbs. Very cool color combo for that...

I dig all that SW iconography on the track....
Is it all resin stuff? I know some of the pieces are, already, but some of them look like bits from plastic models that are just white....

The side doors and the rear door are FW SW doors, and yeas they are resin. The rest are just plastic taken from battelforces and such. Thanks for the comments, That made my day about the relistic bug look. Im glad my work is somewhat recognized. Thanks.
