Anyway, here is what I have so far.




These guys are intended to be Zoanthrope proxies, however they could also be Venomthropes. Still very much WIP, but here they are. A very simple conversion that looks very alien imho. I see these guys as the hive "tasters", finding the best locations on a world to begin processing biomass/laying down digestion pools/generally communicating with the hive ships.
More to come... soonish...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065158.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065158.page GMT Re:Birthing a Fleet: Tentacles and other gribbly bits 40k scale? If so, would love to see it beside something else for reference.

It's on a 40mm base, its basically just these chaps reversed and with a spore mine for a head.

Do you have any other plans? I assume some tendril-head ymargls will be in the list perhaps? Is everything going to be tentacly? I would love to see that if it was...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065196.page GMT Birthing a Fleet: Tentacles and other gribbly bits http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065204.page GMT Birthing a Fleet: Tentacles and other gribbly bits

Yeah I'm going to try and have as many tentacled creatures as possible. The next thing is going to be a tyrannofex, I'm going to try and go for the tentacle look on that once the various kits i've ordered arrive. Ymgarls would fit in really well, i'll look into that. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065209.page GMT Birthing a Fleet: Tentacles and other gribbly bits http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2065937.page GMT Birthing a Fleet: Tentacles and other gribbly bits http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2066559.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/324938/2066559.page GMT Birthing a Fleet: Tentacles and other gribbly bits

Exactly my thinking good sir.

That was the only Torchwood episode I ever saw, well part of it anyway. Perhaps I have been subconsciously recreating them.


Right, while my next stage is in transit, I present this abomination.




Based on the mine cart from Abe's Exoddus, with some General Grievous war bike thing thrown in to boot. Mutant miners gone awry, kind of like 'girls gone wild' for 40k.
Still very much WIP, as you can see...
