Are they supposed to have the same footprint as a SM drop pod?

I am currently buying a few of those pods since they look pretty alien and believable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1247334.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1247334.page GMT Re:Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276338.page GMT Re:Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod?

The scale is out of whack in 40k by quite a bit really. Don't try to match scale in a game that has arbitrarily thrown it out the window.

Just drop them in your bath water and they grow to the size of your fist!!



How else do you explain a tervigon? He can store as many as 126 Termiguants....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276372.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276372.page GMT Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276374.page GMT Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod? GW make a kit. If I feel the need to buy a kit, I can always just use these Armorcast pods as alien scenery, so it's no loss as far as I'm concerned.

And yeah, scale went out the window a long time ago with 40k. You couldn't fit 10 Marines in a Rhino, regardless of whether it's a MkI or a MkII. I always picture the 'Nids in a Mycetic Spore as curled up in protective fluid sacs (like frozenwastes' suggestion), which are triggered as the Pod is about to land. If the 'Nids in a spore are curled up a lot, you could probably fit a lot more in than the models suggest.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276502.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276502.page GMT Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276623.page GMT Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod? http://armorcast.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=120_37&products_id=267&osCsid=512f2cfe76280992e8d787612b88d08e

Adding this to a base and modeling tentacles coming out of the ground would make a great drop pod imo.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276716.page GMT Re:Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod?
As for the birthing pod thingies, I'd like the idea more if it had a scale comparison. Not really looking for true scale, but I'd like to know it's bigger than a guardsman.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276741.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1276741.page GMT Re:Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod?
The leafy pod is too plant-like for my taste.

From memory, this is only about 3" / 75mm high so it is on the small side - okay for a couple of Zoan's or a brood of gaunts all crammed into a small space, but not big enough for a 'fex or sim.

Having said that, until GW get around to giving us an official model (2011 anyone ?), then its as probably as good as anything else available off the shelf.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1281622.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1281622.page GMT Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod?

You're wrong there. I saw a Mk1 with 10 Marines seated inside, using old metal Land Speeder crew.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1281657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1281657.page GMT Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod?

Too bad they will cost an arm and a leg and take eons to arrive in the mail.

I'm actually going the "Plasma Hatcher" route since they can still be had for about 8.00 US a pop and they're about the same size as a Marine Drop Pod so I think the scale is fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1282595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1282595.page GMT Re:Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod? SM drop pod that is in the box waiting the release of Blood angels codex . That way i get same size as the competition out there. Block LoS and give me LoS over models if i give it a weapon. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1284387.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1284387.page GMT Re:Counts as: Tyranid Drop Pod?

At least no one can complain about the size ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1286586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/273552/1286586.page GMT
