This is my completed (97%, needs some spot cleanup and base needs a bit o drybrush on the rock) hive tyrant. It's fully magnetized. I the kit itself was fun to build and paint, but I had to modify a representation of twin sets of devourers and then drill and magnetize wings on the back. I couldn't keep it stock--the flyrant with "ski feet", wings, and only 2 army sockets makes me mental, especially as almost everyone runs TL devourers. I am happy about the finished product. Please comment if you like!

The centre of a massive brood chamber, heaving and pulsating.

Nicely painted, but having the wings sprouting out the lowest set of vents just looks weird.

Could we get some Pictures of it from a bit further away?

I want to see how it looks as a whole as i'm a bit undecided on the Butt Wings...

Paintjob however... Sexy. Sexy as hell. Kudos!

Interesting...thanks guys. I'll try and get some zoomed out shots so you can see the overall effect of the conversion. Really, I wanted to free up the are slots so I could actually have the four guns (2x2) on the model. Seems kind of silly that the most popular load out can't even be represented without significant conversion...

More pictures as requested.

I seriously love the colours in your paint scheme. The purple faces draw the eye so well. I am about to embark on a similar conversion and this is inspiring work.

Amazing work! From a modeling perspective would this be considered 4 twin linked devourers?
It is a little awkward seeing the wings so low on the back. If you removed two of the devourer sets you could put the wings in the arm sockets and still have 2 twin linked devourers. Just my opinion. The paint colours are awesome. keep it up

No, I wouldn't. I would be pretty damn popular.

Nice conversion work. I dig the base. That's a nice touch.

Looks good, but my one gripe is that it has eight limbs instead of the traditional six. Just a personal preference, I guess.
