Malan'tai want hugs ! lol
i love it he looks so sweet

Malan tai Junior. Would be cool if it didnt have the funny arms.

Hahaha. Junior.. true. It has a 'junior' look without a scale image. There is one in the modelling thread. It's not that tiny really, haha.

Here it is, for your convenience:

He needs two more arms. Most all Nids have 6. I think that is what makes him look a bit odd.

Great conversion though!

Thanks! And well, yeah, most have six limbs. I wanted a set of codex look-a-like shrimp arms at first, but they weren't fun to do, so I went for this manifestation of a psychic, scratchy feeling. And with arms it looked way too crowded with three pairs. I wanted a big, floating brain with a tiny body dangling beneath it.

I agree, the arms look somewhat weird - but that's okay, it just adds to the impression I've always had from the DoM - no more use for limbs. It's the brain that matters.
Great conversion, no question!
Are the eyes just plain Boltgun Metal?

Cool model,it's certainly different from most DoM I've seen.

The eyes are mithril silver and badab black. Wanted a dead-ish, no-need-to-see, albino-ish psycher look. As you put it, It's all about the brain.

Thank you too!

damn that looks scary

You should name him Brett.

"Check out the big brain on Brett!"

Eric

Braiiiiiinsssss...

Hahaha!

DoM Brett Braiiiiiinsssss, junior. Brilliant. Not scary though!

When i first saw the arms i thought Godzilla

Very cool. The limbs look like they've atrophied, which makes sense for Doomie.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, my thought too! The limbs are not longer needed and evolution/new Hive Mind strategies reshape biomass.

Awesome!

Wow! That looks really good.
