Hi folks the winner for a pool of gene head variants was the Pincer head... and here is my first green for it.

I will try to make One head closed another one semi opened (this one) and finally one wide open..

So do you like it or I failed big time?

**NecronLord3**

That looks badass! Can't wait to see on painted up and attached.

**elaverick**

That's awesome. Is it entirely GS or are they based off an original plastic head?

**NAVARRO**

Yes its 99% GS and 1% wire inside each pincer.

**Gerald_Tremblay**

Amazing greenstuff job! Can't wait to see those painted on genestealers!

**(._.)**

Make molds and sell some =)?

**Blightdrone**

I remember the deciding thread for this. I chose this one.
I'm so pleased with the outcome... well done mate, simply amazing.

Cheers,

Jack.

I like but not as much as I liked the concept drawing. These seem a bit more bulky than the original design but obviously, this is as skinny as the pincers will get.

Don't get me wrong, these look awsome.

Mucho coolness. Thanks for doing variants - i hate the look of multiple organic creatures with heads in exactly the same pose.

**deffskullz**

i want one just to mount as a trophy!!!

**ghosty**

wow sell them! shame about not doing the davey jones face though.... still this looks better than i imagined it would. CAST AND SELL!!!

**Slappywag**

Amazing. I remember the post on the other very well indeed. It was going to be sick what ever you did! Very good!

**children of filth**

these are great! this was the head i voted for!

**Railguns**

One of the tentacles seems to be a flat stub on top of a mess of tendrils, and the left pincer seems much smaller than the right. Otherwise, I like the concept and the sculpt shows a great deal of control and creativity. I like it.

PS: Okay, I see it now, those aren't tentacles but a mass of "fingers". The stub tentacle makes sense if it is simply another claw feeler without the claw attached. Disregard that concern. It could just use some size consistency on the fangs and it's perfect.

**NAVARRO**

Some sized head shots.
THis head due to the more bulky design and pincers is a bit fatter and bigger than normal ones...

**The Dreadnote**

I think the front of the head looks good. The way it bulges out at the back, both sideways and upwards, makes the thing look huge though. I reckon if you slimmed down everything past the eyes, it'd be a better fit.

**Slappywag**

Very slick. How many more to go, lol?

Or are you going to get them cast or something?

**Shadowbrand**

I like your green fu killer heads. Super stealers?

**NAVARRO**

Im just doing the sculpt work, after that Chapterhouse folks will handle the business.

**Kilkrazy**

Are the round bits on the head insect eyes?

It might be a cool variant.

**NAVARRO**

Cool idea and probably a original painting option Kilkrazy, I was thinking larvae skin.. like some pulsating sacs.
Imagined a abdomen of a hivequeen pulsating before laying eggs... matchs a bit of my idea of pulsating brain and respiratory sacs. I intend to use these on a big brood painted yellow/ beige colored.

**Clang**

Now I see it on a body, the head is indeed bulkier than I'd expected. But I like it, it's not too GWish but still suits the body perfectly, which is both good aestheticly (so long as the whole unit has similar heads) and helps avoid IP legal problems

**Pherion**

Very very ncie looking. I think it looks fine as big as it is. Use it for a brood lord or something!

**warpcrafter**

"You are one ugly melon-fether!"

I just had to go there. And I am also in awe of your skills.

**UselesswizarD**

I am in awe of your sculpting skill sir. That looks amazing!

**SilverMK2**

Fantastic!

**Saltoric**

Look brilliant! I wish i could sculpt that good.

**Corpsesarefun**

I beg of thee my lord... tell me when biodiversity will be updated! please!

Seriously NAVARRO as a long term fan of your work (as long as ive played 40k) it would be really nice to find out if you are going to update it

So i know whether to continue my weekly checks or not
