Does anyone have (or know of) any conversions or alternative models for Zoanthropes or Neurothropes that deviate from the standard designs?

I haven't seen many conversions for zoanthropes, just people using whatever versions they happen to have lying around. Off the top of my head, though, I could see converting warriors to harken back to the old school walking zoanthropes. Throw some small scything talons or a set of rending claws (if going fully traditional, though this might confuse people who never saw the originals) and greenstuff a bunch of extra brains in under and bulging out through the armor plates at the back of the head. Maybe bend the tail so that it's pointing forward, if you're feeling crafty. Season with any mawlock tendril-things you have left over.

Might work?

While googling for alternative models, I did come across someone who slapped some monstrous scything talons onto a mucolid spore in place of tentacles, and that didn't look half bad. If you have any left over hive tyrant tail sections, you could probably Frankenstein together a unique looking neurothrope (or just a clutch of massive zoans), too.

Hydracast makes one. Not one I like. But one exists.
