Some people may know Lord Velard from Russia. He often casts small runs of usable stuff for 40k and Warhammer Fantasy. and sells them on ebay ( http://shop.ebay.de/mrs-velard/m.html ).

Currently he sells an expensive but highly detailed Alien drop pod:

(here a link to a very big pic with a scale comparison: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4212/velard.2/0_40370_6254e662_orig )

He is currently working on an Alien breeder that can be used as a Tervigon. It is based on the design by his friend Grishnak.

Concept sketches:

Here a prototype with added Termagant (which will of course not be included):

Final sculpting, casting and painting should take about 1-2 months, but this is clearly the best model usable as a Tervigon that I have seen up to now. Will not be cheap either, but no price estimate at the moment.

**salamander man**

Looks cool!

**Treadheadz**

DAMN!!

There goes my last excuse for not starting a Nids army...

...Great breeder model, the best so far!!

**OnTheEdge**

*BLEEP*!!! That is AWESOME!!!! I want one! Gimme! Now!!!

...No, seriously, that is great! Outstanding!

**ubbeknubbe**

That is REALLY awesome

**ghosty**

its giving birth out of its chin?

Its a nice one, and no mistake, but itll hit prices around heirodule.... and for that, its not worth it IMO...

**Kroothawk**

Well, personally I don't like the Hierodule design, so my choice would be clear

**Schepp himself**

The mouth vagina is turning me off. The brainbuggy legs and most of the rest is pretty cool, though.
No buy for me then...

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. I love them both. You have to email me when those are up for sale. I'm in for 2 of each at the least. Send it to info@battlefoam.com.

Wow, again.

**Brother SRM**

Holy hell that's awesome. Far better than the other "Not Tyranids" that have been popping up lately. I love the idea of a big bug vomiting out gaunts.

**Kirasu**

I buy a lot of her products.. all very top notch, just dont try to ask her a question.. English is uh.. not her first, second, third or 4th language

Best part is because shes in russia she can make stuff that is heavily copywritten such as her thunderwolves with sculpted space marine legs (SM legs I imagine are fairly trademark)

If she lived in a country with actual enforceable laws we wouldnt get such great models!

**Pyriel-**

Cool.

The question is, are there GW or FW bitz used in there, seems like copies/casts of nid legs are being used.
If so it will get shut down pretty fast.

**Kroothawk**

The legs are green/brown stuffed from scratch and not involving GW bits, as you can see from closer scrutiny. And this may not be the final version (e.g. the Termagant will obviously not be included). BTW organic Aliens with blades and wolf riders are too generic to be copyrighted by GW or the sources from which GW stole their ideas (Alien, Tolkien, Star Wars)

And companies today are more aware of what they can do and what not, even in Russia.

**kinghammer**

Tervigon is bad. It looks like it can't even move. Those tiny legs can't support the body.

Cheers

**Gargskull**

I'm amused that some of you think Russia is some kind of lawless wasteland.

**Kirasu**

It is when it comes to copywrite fights with the UK..

Pyriel - This sculptor has copied so much its not even funny.. And its not just recasting, she's sculpted her own replicas of space marine parts.. It wont get shut down

UK and russia have long standing animosity especially in regards of political refugees not being returned to them for trial (or most likely just life imprisonment).. I imagine any kind of international copywrite case filed by a UK company would get laughed at

**Bavius**

I understand why you might not like the idea of a monstrous creature lying down, squatting if you will, and birthing a bug beasty out of its vagina mouth.

However, that sounds freaking sweet and looks even better. I like it very much and would pay for two or three in my non-existent Nid army.

Ah ok. Cool model

**Kroothawk**

I wouldn't take everything for granted by someone who tells you that Vladimir is a woman

And Velard's female Farseer was retracted due to copyright issues, but that was several years ago.
Now I am looking forward to the female Farseer model by Chapterhouse, forgot who sculpted it

Vagina dentitis?

**RiTides**

Wow, awesome prototype... scary, too!

**Byte**

Very nice.

**Chapterhouse**

Im wary of anything that uses a Paypal proxy. You lose all protection from scams that way. It is Russia we are talking about as well (impossible to persue getting any money back).

**Kroothawk**

I have ordered 5-6 times during the last few years from him by that method and never experienced any problems.
With 99.4% positive feedback at 1000+ ebay-transactions, I do not seem to be the only one.

**Foda_Bett**

I've ordered from this seller about 6 times over the last year, one of those transactions was before he had an ebay account for his conversions. The casts are great quality and he responds to emails quite quickly.

This one is illegal and it will be prosecuted since it contains a lot of GW pieces that are being recast.
It was up for sale some time ago and got promptly shut down by GW.

**Chapterhouse**

Well I guess it all comes down to your moral choice to buy explicit recast or not.

**Reecius**

Those look awesome.

Even the chin vag looks good if anatomically awkward.

**Thorgut**

If the spore pod is £60, I wonder how much the "breeder" is going to cost.

Still, a very nice model.
