Hi.

One of my possible lists has not 1, but 3 Tervigons in it. Hence, I was thinking of planning out how I would go about converting some. I have heard that there will soon be a plastic kit, but anyway.

I do, however, have some specifications:

1: It should have 6 limbs: No more, no less.

2: I don't want its entirebody/hindquarters to be covered with this enormous blob-like brithing sac. I was thinking of having an enlagrged rear abdomen, and SOME sac details, but nothing too extreme.

3: It should retain its tail.

4: I don't want to use any Chapterhouse parts or any parts from similar companies, as these will not be allowed in all GW-run touraments.

5: All 3 Tervigons are equipped with Adrenal Glands and Toxin Sacs.

I was thinking of potentially using the Arachnarok Spider kit for the abdomen, but that does have a few spiders on it which would need to be removed, and I'd have to cut moreorless the entire front end off. ALso, merging it with the Carnifex pelvis could be...difficult.

The very front limbs could be some of the tiny arms from the Trygon/Mawloc kit.

I was thinking of giving the head a large 3rd edition Hive Tyrant style...thing. Possibly with the sensory spines from the Trygon/Mawloc kit.

Not sure whether I would want to have a Termagaunt sliding out of the vulva (sorry, that's the only way to describe it, cause that's what it is).

For that matter, I'm not entirely sure about how to make the...um...vulva. Definately don't want a big tube-type thing.

So, fellow Dakkaites, any ideas?

Hello? Anyone home?

Sounds like you just described exactly what you want.

I use old metal carnifexen

Agree. You just described in detail how you want to convert a Tervigon. Good Luck.
I use non-GW stuff.

Here's my Tervigon.



The basic kit is a Carnifex. The tail is built up with putty to create an egg sac and a long tail.

All my Tyranids are snake creatures, so the hind limbs are birth assistance hands instead of legs. It has four scything talons because I thought that looked cool.

If you zoom in you can see the head of a Termagant being born from the delicate flower like egress of the birth canal.

Thanks, folks. Hmm, I seem to basically have the idea of what I'm going to do, however, there is one thing I'm not quite sure about...

What torso should I use, the Carnifex or Trygon torso? The Trygon torso is bigger and bulkier, but the Carnifex torso lends itself more to a stooped, hunched creature.

And Kilkrazy, I'm loving the Tervigon you've created. Heck, I think the idea of having a serpenty Hive Fleet is awesome anyway (I look forward to seeing your attempt at a Hive Tyrant)-in fact, I pondered a snake-tailed Tyrant myself.

Whilst I'm here, just out of interest, are you male or female?

Gosh, the second thread were you try to date a male mod. No good!

BTW here my non-GW tervigons (first one with Chapterhouse conversion kit, second one from Russai, third one my next project from Puppet's War), just to show what you are mssing:

I really like that Puppet's War model, looks very Tervigonish to me, a big armoured ball of gaunt eggs stomping across the table.

Off-topic, I see they also make cool ork heads wearing Mexican hats!
