It is MASSIVE. The main shell is plastic, and the outer carapace is metal. What in the world is it? It is bigger than a carnifex, for sure.

EDIT: There you go, a better picture for you.

Bio titan of doom?

**The Son Of Russ**

It looks like a cartoon moby dick with flamboyant headdress...

That what I thought for awhile, but unless there is an OOP biotitan, besides Forge World's current one, I dont think it is

I've been looking on Google, and I still can't find anything for it.

How about a picture where the right thing is in focus.

In fact, where ANYTHING is in focus.

Yeah, its pretty bad. But it really doesn't matter.

So...You don't really want to know what it is?

I have no camera, that was taken with a phone. If you can't look at it, and know the general shape, then it doesn't matter. No need to be rude.

**kronk**

You're the only rude one here, man.

Best of luck.

**forruner_mercy**

I don't think it is from the current Bio-titan. Aren't those made with resin?

Alrighty.

That what I was thinking, because its not even remotely the same shape. And no, the lower shell is plastic, and the ridge pieces are pewter.

**King Pariah**

All I see is potential for a custom heirophant....

If I can find a few more Nid parts, It'll happen haha

**Arson Fire**

At first I thought it could be a part from one of the old armorcast tyranid models. A haruspex or something.
But google image search proved me wrong.

**Tlo1048**

I hadn't thought about armorcast, good idea.

This:

is the closest thing I've found so far. And the details on the carapace are highly detailed like the one I have.

The pieces are from the back half of the king tanker bug. If you look at the little spike/nub there, and then look at a picture of a normal tanker bug, the nub is the same, you can see the lines, and the front armor/chitin molded into the plastic matches as well. If you look at the King tanker bug, which just added the armor to the tanker bug, you can see those plates on the back.

You, my friend, are a genius!

Thank you so much, I've been wondering for YEARS. Wow, that just made my day. Now I just need a plan for what to turn it into haha

**DarthSpader**

Paper weights are my goto when I have random bits I can't use.

**porkchop806**

I was right yay

**Sekai**

Do up a great Diorama with it?

I was highly considering it. Like a huge scene of 4 or 5 elite marines standing on it, probably painted as ultramarines. But if I can find a different scheme I like, I'll do that.
