So I got a box of hybrid metamorphs and I wanted to give them metamorph talons and rending claws (the default layout) but the problem is the box only has one arm with metamorph talon and rending claw.

Has anyone else run in to this issue? If so, how are you modeling them to give them talons and claws?

Yeah, had the same problem (wanted to run half claws half whips).

What I did was assemble half as acolytes and half as metamorphs. I'll then get another box and to the same and so I'll be able to run it with most of the options I want.

The more I learn about whats in the boxes the less I want to collect these guys.

I long since stopped converting and kit-bashing and I always play wysiwyg with standard codex color scemes.

The box does contain 1 of every option.
Except demo charges where you can make 2.

Nothing is missing from it I'm afraid.


I'd give it another week or 2 then check eBay.
Can always sell off parts your not using to buy ones you need.
Stops you taking a loss that way.
I managed to kit out a unit with a drill, saw, 2 charges and the whip and sword (being mixed into units) and then sell the rest.

The parts I didn't use snagged me around £18 on eBay and I've still got a few laying around.
So if I don't buy anything else I've got the set for £7 essentially.

Oh well I guess I'll just built one from each box and the rest acolytes. It's a little bit frustrating though that you can't even give them all the default loadout.

On the bright side there enough heads and weapons/arms that I was able to make 20 acolytes/metamorphs with spare bodies I had from heroclix figures,

At least if you have Tyranids, you can easily convert them. But if you don't it is a bummer.

I mean, fifty bucks is on the line.
There's no rule that says I can't.

note that acolyte/metamorph bodies are designed with 2 arms on one side or the other. So if you want all lash whips you need a minimal of 2 boxes just for the correct body pieces. but you need 3 for 5 whips in a 5 man squad.

Dang, that is a poor job of planning the sprues...though Lash whips are pretty easy to make with Super Sculpt, or Green stuff...
