Just a little update on the birthing Tyrannocyte for you all...

The polymer clay I've been using:



And the 'cyte so far:



I've also turned the above image to B&W to try and balance out the miss mash of colours, so everyone can hopefully see it as intended

Well. I'm also now doing yet another model project thingybob...

Still very WIP atm, but here you go: The Primogenitor



Apologies for the shoddy images, wobbly hands and using my phone...

The sculpey seems to have worked a treat I like the angle you have achieved spawning perfection

Oo yeah, the 'cyte is coming along well.

and good changes to the Primogenitor.

Thanks, I'm a little worried about how delicate the super sculpy is or isn't tbh. May reinforce it with some thin brass wire when it comes to me sculpting the interior detail.

Thank you, I wanted to include the Cryptus model, but as I'm sure you've tell, I like to add my take on things so no one else has the same mini too. Hopefully this is how it'll be in the end. Still not 100% on 40mm or small oval base yet...

Nice work on the tervicyte, that is coming along very well!

Very cool, I like the black and white photo, it looks pretty seamless in that pic!

I've used super sculpy for quite a few nurgle projects, I find that tentacles need to be done is GS though as they are too brittle in sculpy.

Yours looks really nice, I have a tendency to burn mine

Thanks, it's a royal pain in the ass, but I'm happy so far.

Yeah, it's why I did it, as sometimes the colours are too much for me and I can't see past them to figure out if it's working tbh. It helped restore faith in what I was doing at least.

Yeah, I'd planned on doing the tentacles in gs as it has more give, and I'm still worried about the resilience of super sculpy.

And how in the hell did you burn it? O.o

I have a habit of leaving in the oven too long, its just as good black.......

Lol, personally I wouldn't risk it, as the longer you cook something for, the more you change its chemical structure.

Yes I cook pizza and end up with charcoal

Oh for the love of Reznor...

In other news...



It's also back on its original oval base, as I felt even though it's going to be a Tyranid Prime in rules, that the oval base was more in keeping with the model. I've also done some work on the base for scenic value.

looks like a really nice conversion, I find a lot of the stealer minis seem a bit static. I remember the original Space Hulk ones, painting those was borrrrring.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I've still got some of those about the place...

...I like the spawn of Cryptus model, don't get me wrong, I just wanted to make it mine if that makes sense? I didn't really like the tyranid toe eruption it was perched on, and wanted something more neutral as planetary seeding won't have happened at the point of vanguard organisms being deployed. Hence this list only having the Broodlord, Lictors, Genestealer hybrids and spores in it.

That is a big stealer!

Really good job on the reposition. The super sculpty is doing well as well.

maybe we can kill rouge wolves and prevent the past from happening again..

Well he is a Broodlord lol... He's bigger than my tardis mini I made, which is scary...

Now I've got the reposition down, I think I'll return to the 'cyte tomorrow. Needs some love I think lol.

Nah, if we kill RW we'd not have anyone to laugh at/with

Broodlord makes sense.

It's the spawn of Cryptus model from the deathstorm box set. I just wantwd to make him mine, and in keeping with my army

Ah, so a special grab then

Yup, it's my second one of this model, the first I assembled basically as normal, then I finally committed myself to getting a second for converting purposes. So far so good lol.

Will be starting the Genestealer Hybrids in a few weeks time I think. Still not totally sure how I'm doing those guys, buy hey-ho..

We would run out of jokes good point. You should get a 4th!

A fourth what? O.o

I like it! I don't see why you should be worried about the sculpty? I use it aaaaaall the time, never get any cracks or breaks.

To me it's an unknown qquantity, due to never having used it before. So you always worry about that kind of think lol.
