Friend of mine traded me some tyranids years ago and they mostly sat in my closet after 7th edition. I was going through them recently and found this guy and I cannot find anything that looks like it anywhere. Would love it if someone can tell me what it is. Figure is all metal if that helps at all.

Body and head is from a metal Warriors from 2nd edition. Top arms are plastic from the "monstrous" sprue that came in 3rd edition for Hive Tyrant, Carnifex and Warriors. Lower arms are from 2nd edition metal Hormagaunts. Legs are from 3rd edition Biovore.

Ah, it is a Frankenstein. I thought it might be. Thank you kindly. The guy did such a good job blending it together I thought the head was molded to the body.

It does indeed looks quite well made! A pretty sweet conversion for sure, and I like it!
