I don't think lack of varied poses is going to be an issue for me, since I'll only have the money to afford one (unless the plastic kit is less than £40), but I always had the idea of modelling one in the standard pose, one bursting forth from underground and another coiled around a tank crushing it like a boa constrictor.

I want to see a Warhound with a Trygon draped over its neck ala Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

Don't forget the crack pipe and smelly trousers.

I like the "crushed tank" idea. A dreadnought would work nice too I guess.

everyones forgetting a key point here when they say it looks single pose.
GS + decent knife = infinate poses

im all for a plastic trygon, will give me a reason to expand the nids without waiting ages for FW to deliver (possibly the wrong models again aswell)

I've had loads of conversion ideas for Trygons, but I daren't try to convert the resin model as it's too expensive to replace if I make a mess of it. I really hope this rumor is true because I would be able to convert a plastic Trygon. Already been thinking of the boa constrictor conversion, having it crushing a Rhino. Been watching the thread about making flames from glue so could even have a bash at having the Rhino exploding! (what I lack in actual skill I make up for in ambition ).

@ HBMC

I was thinking more along the lines of the Elvish Stardragon if you wanted to make the pose less static you could easily use that kind of base, especially if the stuff is plastic.

You mean the dragon that's launching itself off of a rock? That means that where ever the Dragon goes, it always brings that rock with it.

I hate models that have terrain built into their base. It's no different to someone basing a Guard HW team behind a low wall - they're in 'cover' but they're not in cover, so they have to go into cover to get cover, so they're technically hiding behind a wall that's behind a wall... I hate that.

Scenic bases are one thing, having terrain features are a required element of your base is another.

FWIW, I think these pics are of the FW model, lightly converted.

A plastic Trygon would be cool if I were a Nid player.

Well seeing how the person who painted the Trygon you are referring to has implied very strongly that it's plastic I'm gonna say that you are wrong.

But I do agree that a plastic Trygon is cool for Nid players.

Slightly converted?

Who 'slightly converts' a solid piece of resin to remove a rib?

People who collect an utterly ridiculous amount of tanks?

For the trygon because its plastic it can have a wide variety of poses and doesn't simply have to be launching itself off of a rock or the like, for another good version of a large plastic model there are the Ringwraiths, and they use a peice of terrain to make them stand rather striaght up instead of coiled like the trygon.

Plastic Trygon = wet dream for Schepp himself

sorry that I didn't add anything to the thread.

EXALT!

This rumor would halfway excite me into 40k again, even. But I've already got the resin trygon.

Nice to see they are doing this, though. The guy who stole my hivefleet's name as his screen name should not be so coy and should just admit that he's seen, touched, even licked the plastic kit!

Aww, come on Brimstone. You know something, just spit it out already

Hey man, one of the vets who used to hang out at the local military museaum died about a year ago or so and when they went into his basement they found over 2700 plastic model airplanes tanks and ships.

I could see someone with that kind of dedication doing this just to have something different.

Though admittedly my jibe was indeed aimed at your rather legendarily obese tank collection, don't get me wrong. I love that kind of stuff I do personally think that it is a plastic Trygon, but you kind of walked into that one.

Still not seeing it. My comment was related to an earlier one where soemone found it absurd that someone would go to the effort of converting a Trygon to simply remove a rib?

What that has to do with owning 135 vehicles I do not know...

or the trygon is going Mr manson style ..... shudder the thought.

135 vehicles?! Do you get your own line on the GW Oz financial statements?

Wow thats got to be the first time I've seen bugswarm post in.......hell I don't remember. I don't even remember the last time Mauleed posted. Come back, the 3 of us still here miss you !

But seriously, that isn't a resin conversion.

oz, i take it you havent seen pics of his army?
a sea of silver and grey




i agree with HBMC though, some of the change seem pointless, who the feth carves a rib out of a trygon because they are bored?

I assumed Rat Barf talked about that someone hast to be seriously invested in the hobby to do something like that. The same kinda guy who also might have waaay to many tanks.

On a completly unreleated note, how many Leman Russes do you own H.?

30... or 31 if you count the Bombard.

I rest my case.

Hahaha, that was a good one! I guess that means the Tyranids are no longer innocent!

hehe quite amusing every thread HBMC post in always end up with info on how many tanks he has.
But how does one stay committed to army long enough to expand it to that size ? I mean if its LordCastellan where he bought it all together it sort of make sense.
