Using gargoyle body, bloodletter head and legs, genestealer arms... do you think it will work? Obviously with conversion work and green stuff...

This might work, I'd have to see one fully built though.

The head is the least accurate piece but overall it should look good. I'd probably go for a gaunt head instead. The body, carapace addition, arms and legs all look good.

With the head, leave the face off, trim off the spikes and maybe bulk up the "face" area with some GS to get the proper smooth and rounded carapace profile and you should be golden.

Doesn't the real Alien have 6 arms like a Nid anyway? Could just use a Genestealer body and limbs with a headswap?

You would have to do something with the khorne symbols and the horns on the bloodletter but it should work.
I agree that a gaunt head would probably look better and a genestealer body with head swap would be easier though.

The Alien Queen, not designed by Giger himself, does have 4 arms and 2 legs though (2 arms are small like on a Tyrannosaurus).

I bought 6, and the size is good for tyranid warriors. It looks silly on smaller ones... Automatically Appended Next Post: JohnnyHell wrote:Doesn't the real Alien have 6 arms like a Nid anyway? Could just use a Genestealer body and limbs with a headswap?
A genestealer is okay, just needs a tail, that is when i saw the gargoyle body...

Yeah! I got the bits and made a fast test model (together in under 2 minutes...). It works perfect. I wanted to make an alien army with as much gw bits as I can, and now I can.
Granted, I need to add greenstuff now, smooth out the head, etc... but the core element works!
I will be taking my time with the 35 actual models that will be in my army...
Thoughts?
