Hey guys go check out bell of lost souls they are talking about a plastic trygon
Here is a like to the forge world one http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/trygon.htm
And here is a link to the one in the Apoc book http://s257.photobucket.com/albums/hh207/VoidLord/?action=view¤t=plastictrygon1.jpg
There is some noticeable diff between them the number of ribs, the jaw and the tongue to name a couple

PS that is not my photobuket

Any chance of uploading it to the gallery for those of us at work?

Here you go
plastic trygon?


FW trygon

It's just a conversion you can see that they are obviously the same model.
For example the tail and the scythes these are exactly the same.

Damn you beat me I was gonna post pics.

I saw this at warseer, they are reporting it as confirmed pics of the new plastic kit. They also have some pics on another thread of what is believed to be new plastic building kits that would accompany the planetstrike release. All these releases are rumored to be droping about the same time, I think.

Why would you convert one to have 2 rows of teeth and 13 ribs instead of 12 and not put on the armor on the chest

Uh.. no, you can see that they are obviously NOT the same model.
For example the tail and the scythes these are specifically different.

I wonder how much it pisses off other sites when the BoLS guys rip off their content and then everyone starts to link to BoLS instead of the original source?

I have no idea. But I dont think they would care or else they would have there sites blocked so you cant read there posts

I find it pretty funny when some noob posts some comment about "Look what I just saw on BoLS!!1!" in the thread on Warseer (or elsewhere, but usually Warseer) where BoLS got the rumour from... some 10 pages earlier.

The plastic valkryie is nearly identical to the forgeworld one, so why would it be hard to imagine that the trygon would be different? Besides, I see a lot of differences in the two models, and it seems pointless to convert most of them.

The tail IS the same it just has a different scythe at the end.

I have a reason to convert them:

DIFFERENT WARGEAR

example:
Head obviously has implant attack
Arms obviously have toxin sacs
Tail probably some kind of special tail end.

It could be an earlier version of the forgeworld trygon.

I sorry goffnob deffsmakka I am a dumb ass. Apparently I was wrong since you not only increased the font sized you also put it all in caps. And Oh btw FW has only put out one Trygon. Also I did not know/think that the trygon could take those upgrades

Why doesn't someone just ask Moloch? He's a user here, it's his Paint scheme, and the vast majority of the rest of the nids in that battle are HIS(you can tell between Moloch's and GW's because Moloch's carapaces are black and GW's are bluish), so I assumed the Trygon was his.

And if it's not his, he may know something about it for the reason of he was there.

Jaw distended with significantly larger tongue(classic gw plastic nid characteristic), top arms look like converted Big Scything Talons, Tail scythe at different angle, chest spines look different and are facing different directions, 13 ribs as opposed to 11, no stub claws on tail... there are quite a few differences. I doubt that its a conversion from a FW Trygon, given the difference in number of ribs.

If that is plastic it is amazing and I want one.

The carapace on the tail is definitely different between the two pictures!

BoLS is definitely getting more and more slowed. They're pretty much grasping at anything these days and throwing it out as a rumour.

Having now checked the Warpshadow Forums:

Moloch wrote:The often-rumoured plastic Trygon is certainly a solid possibility and yes, Hydra, Mr Pink and me might have taken a peak at some parts some time ago.

To which Mr_Pink replied:

Edit: Phil Kelly's Trygon, which is closer to the Apoc Trygon than the FW version, and Moloch has already stated that there are variant heads for the plastic:

Yes Bugs at warpshadow forums with the help of some more "elucidated" members, made these news.

Doesnt piss me off, news are just news... as long as bugs get them first

My hope for the plastic version? That it has enough spikies to replace those that broke off and got themselves lost when I dropped my FW trygon.

Nice! I'm lovign thsi apocalypse love for all races! Of course, I want more for the IG... but be that as it may.

Squiggoth next maybe? Or a Revenant? After the Thunderhawk, of course.

I hope they put out a Revenant/Eldar SHT, Thunderhawk, and something for Chaos before they do a Squiggoth or anything else for orks(other than a sprue for Mek Stompa).

I just want a Thunderbolt. I'm going to buy a DOZEN.

all i can say is that i do not think a plastic trygon is what they will be releasing soon.i reckon the will release something people want more first(ie DE codex, plastic warhound titan) before this, but a plastic version of this would still be very cool. not that i collect tyranids.

I'm doubtful of a Squiggoth... orks already have theirs. It will probably which ever army is done after 'Nids. GW seems to be trying to coincide these larger kits with codex releases. Stompa with Orks, Shadowsword with IG, and Thunderhawks before Space Wolves. If this plastic trygon is proof of anything it supports the rumor saying tyranids maybe out next year. With space hulk sometime this year, I'm not surprised to see it generally surrounded by things that supplement it; Space Wolves (marines) then Tyranids... maybe Tyranids will be the first releases of next year.

I do not collect tyranids, but if this actually is a plastic model(I think it is) then this is setting a great trend and it seems like only a matter of time until more and more APOC models are either made for the first time or converted to plastic. The escalation just keeps going. Exciting times.

It's also mounted on an Oval base, ala the Valkyrie. Perhaps not significant in itself, but probably worth adding to the pot.

I reckon it's either a new FW Version yet to be seen, or indeed a plastic one. Either way, I doubt it's a conversion!

The models are clearly the same... the "plastic one" had just had it's jaw lowered and its tongue extended with putty.
