I was in the archives of GW and found a creature feature on how to make tons of creatures and I want to know if anyone wants to know how?

Um, yes?

Especially if you've some ideas of your own!

Note: the pics from the website are not working, but if you Google Image search them you should find a small pic.

Name: Glovian Stinger
Pts: 19 WS: 4 BS: - S: 3 T: 3 W: 1 I: 5 A: 1 LD: 10 SV: 6+
Upgrades: Winged +3pts/model poison +6 pts/model
Rules: The Glovian Stinger will be able to re-roll morale tests after assaulting.

Akin to the small flying insects commonly seen on Terra, the Glovian stinger is a monstrous specimen that weighs approximately 50Kg and boasts an impressive 2m wingspan. The creatures reside in towering spires constructed of dried mud and debris. Often these spires dominate large areas of Glovia and makes traveling through Glovia's wastelands an endeavor not to be taken lightly. When agitated these creatures will administer a potent, venomemous sting to the hapless soul which disturbes them. These creatures hardly ever stray from the hive alone, and usually hunt in groups of five or more. Although naturally nonagressive, the Stingers will become hostile towards anything they feel is a danger to the Spire

How to model a Glovian Stinger:
You will need
X1 Dark Eldar head (helmeted)
X1 Dwarf Head (helmeted)
Putty
Thin Wire
Static Grass
Thin, clear plastic
First, join together the heads to where the tip of the Dark Eldar head is the back of the abdomen and the Dwarfe's head is the creature's head, use the Putty to join the heads and make the heads smooth, except for the blades on top of the Dark Eldar's Head. Add eyes made of putty to the Dwarf head, making sure they are large and oval. Then attach wires to the dwarf's head to create antennae, and add wire to the underside to create four legs. Then glue static grass to the back of the Stinger (dark eldar head) to create fur. To create wings, draw them onto clear plastic (found in Pre-fab building kits from Woodland scenics.) cut them out and place them on the dark eldar head, you should probably make four, after painting.
Put the static grass on the creature before priming, and smoothe the fur down after painting.

I suggest using these with Tyranids, or as a special rule for Planetstrike/ Planetary Empires.

I will do more, but this is the one for today. You should check in after Three O' clock pacific standard for the next creature, the Kalathrax Fiend.

These monstrous insectoids are a terror to behold, they make their homes beneath the jungle floor, and use their powerful claws to burrow deep underground and assault prey.

These creatures are extremely resilient, and those unfortunate enough to survive an attack by one of these tell of wounds enflicted upon them closed up before their very eyes

There wasnt a good enough tutorial to tell you how to make it, sorry.

Ive printed this out years ago
used to be in an old ish issue of WD, until they threw it on thier site.

Is this the revised edition or still the origional one?

Its still the origonal one, I thought that this would be good for gamers like me, who wasn't into the hobby while the old GW website was still around but want to see what it is

I had that issue of WD,some of the beasties in it were extreamly cool,it would be cool to see some of them again.

Here is the rules for Creature creating

In case anyone forgot or lost their GW issue

Excelent find Brotheralexos,it brings me back to the days when WD was still worth buying.
