What do you guys do with all the spare parts from your MCs?
I've got a full swarmlord/hive tyrant minus the body (I built the winged tyrant see), and a whole load of carnifex weapons/heads/carapace parts etc

It seems a shame to just leave them sat in a box doing nothing, but my greenstuff skills are far off making full body sections and the like
I suppose I could just keep them for conversions of future MC kits but don't see how I could go sticking this stuff on tervigons etc without the end result looking stupid and/or remaining legal.

If all you need is a body then I recommend going to ebay and after a quick search of "Tyranid Body" I found bitz sellers just selling the bodies. It could save you some cash if you need more MCs.

They're easily the most numerous parts in my bitz box. Loads and loads of bodies, weapons, tentacles, spikes, armor plates, arms, etc etc.

I've been looking to buy a handful of Carnifex weapons, heads and carapaces, so if any of you want to sell then I'd be happy to give you a fair price for them. I'm tyring to magnetize 7 carnifexes and only have talons/heads for 3 of them. Ebay's a bit rich for me, so let me know! Cheers!

I had a look for the swarmlord/hive tyrant body but only turned up old old metal ones not sure how that'd marry up with my spares in terms of size etc

I found this plastic body. Not sure if it is because I am in the US but it says this ships worldwide. Might want to see if it is worth it.

That does appear to be the right part, I'll add to my watch list!

Generally speaking though what does everyone do with these spares?
I can see now that if I go buy in tervigons and trygons etc that I'm gonna have LOTS of spares
