I need to cross it with Gw stuff so that wouldn't work really tbh. I want the finished thing to be a cross between Kerrigan and Tyranids.

nice idea though Vik.

now now boys, behave... don't make me put you in separate naughty brood nest corners...

The only problem with making the queen of blades is the fine detail sculpting needed and making the "wings" from scratch. oh, and I've never played the games lols

True enough... having said that, i've always been more of a console gamer than a PC one... I find the user interface lacking with pc games whereas things are readily more accessible with my 360.

Agreed on the point you made about any Nid army needing a Queen of Blades. It would add a small hint of sexiness and allure to an otherwise very threatening army.

The only problem with making the queen of blades is the fine detail sculpting needed and making the "wings" from scratch.


Not necessarily, judging from a) your sculpting skills and b)the fact that you'll be getting shrikes for your list. Seeing as how Shrike Wings come in packs of 3, if you only field 5 you should have a "spare" set of wings to play with. With some judicious filing and GS'ing I'm pretty sure you could make it work.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Dark

I always have doubts before embarking on a conversion project, due largely to whether or not I can get the idea's from my head to the model lol.

Both of them have been almost finished, I'm just needing to order some more green stuff come saturday to get the last few bits done. Also note to anyone who uses the "hot water" technique to bend forgeworld stuff... Its great for making sure models are straight, but never do it too many times to re-shape models... as i learned to my cost, it will start to tear the resin... luckily its only a few cracks which will be fixed with GS.

But in other news Momma Tervigon No.2 arrived in the post today. So I at least have something to do lols...

Will post some pics laters of the WIP on the heirodules.

any time Vik... I'm considering doing a tutorial on my style of converting tbh, as I never pin anything lols, plus I'd cover sculpting within the tutorial. What do you think?
