So yea, I got bored this morning whilst waiting for the paint on my Dakka painting comp entry to dry, so I booted up sculptris and decided to feth around. Here's the product of a few hours:





What should I add to it?

What is it?

I suppose you could add the beginnings of some tiny legs and the start of those carapace vents on the top - like the little bubba carnifex that it might grow to be.

How big are you planning on making this?

I'm keen to have like 10 of these around half an inch long

Right, so if you look at the old tyranid epic models you have basically tanks that are big slugs. This is a base of proxys I'm making for them. It should be around 2-3ch long. Exocrine coming up next!

I see, I see.

I just saw them as pretty cool larval objects for basing

That could work too! They'd be the same size so yea...

Added a big gun!

"gun", sure, let's call it that...

A big... veiny... throbbing... gun!

too phallic and doesnt scream natural positioning to me. stuff tend to come out of an end or edge.

I think I'm going to restart the gun, I have the base grub saved, so I'll make a new copy. Maybe have it coming out of an extended carapace? More tubes and carapace on it too!
