Starting a Tyranid army, and I want to make a parasite of mortex, but of course they don't have one yet.
I'm thinking of buying a 2 pack of gargoyles to use for the wings but because the picture is rather ambiguous, (which could be an advantage) i can't think of a good model to use for the body.
Any tips for the body or just general construction?
Much appreciated

I plan on adding the FW wings for warriors and a ravener+ warriors kit to start with.

**MDizzle**

Here is what I did I bought a starship troopers model.

**kenshin620**

Maybe warrior with gargoyle, genestealer, and/or lictor parts?

**Fallenbourne**

I would use the ravener as a base for the model. The body is larger than the warrior body. You could also use the tails but they arent really setup to be a straight tail. Maybe green stfuffing one of them cause I think the ravener lowers are 2 pieces. The gargoyle wings should work, id say use like 2 pairs

My $.02

**Jackal**

I'd but a ravener model and use gargoyle wings.

Failing that, use the same wings but on a warrior instead.
I'd then swap out the hooves for normal feet (stealers have a good selection to the right size)

After that i'd simply play about with spare parts and a little GS, see what happens.

If you want slightly bigger wings then the new daemon prince has a great set of them.

Quick note mate, but rules wise he is absolute gak lol.

**Saintspirit**

Think I'd put the FW warrior wings on the Red terror. Just my 2 cents.

**Valkyrie**

I used a Warrior base, lengthened the tail with GS and added a tail from a Scything Talon. I then added 2 pairs of Scything Talons, the FW Warrior Wings and Flesh Hooks.

One of the best I've seen is:
