I am about to start painting my Broodlord however I have realised that there seems to be no start and end point for the carapace. If anybody has a good idea of where its meant to end your words would be greatly appreciated!

The Carapace seem to go around his entire body. I painted mine up like a Jacket. Some others paint him without a carapace at all, or try and separate it somewhere along the back. There's no clear answer though.

**Nob 'ead**

Alright, thats's the answer I was hoping for (least)

I guess i'll just do whatever takes my fancy then!

Good idea Nob 'ead!

Myself, I converted some extra armor scales and whooosh! I had a distinction.

**Nob 'ead**

Hey not a bad idea! Now I just need to spend months learning how to use Green Stuff....

**Kroothawk**

Which Broodlord? Standard or Space Hulk?
Anyway, I painted them like my Genestealers, with carapace only on the back.
BTW all my Genestealers have extra carapace above the arms.

**Nob 'ead**

As a follower of your plog I recognise that Broodlord

I mean the standard one but thanks as I am getting Space Hulk this crimbo. I think I like the front not being carapace more than the "jacket" type.

No need to GS the armor. I cut some tyranid-ish terrain bit into small bits that looked like shoulder scales and superglued them. I just used GS to fill here and there.

**Nob 'ead**

Alrighty thanks, I dont have many Nid bitz at the moment but i'll see what I can do with them.

**Lars**

Have a look at the top right piece in this picture. You might have that somewhere lying around. That's the one I cut to shoulder armor sized bits. Especially the spiky parts of the circle works fine for a bigger nid like the Broodlord.

**Nob 'ead**

I'll have a look thanks!
