First off, I'd like to say Im sorry if I posted this in the wrong thread. Im not sure if this should be going in the Painting & Modeling section, fluff/background or what, so if a mod could move it to the appropriate place, that'd be great.

I have an inkling to do some converting, and I reckon it'd be awesome if I made myself a Catachan Devil, a fearsome creature that dwells in the jungles of Catachan and is supposedly a remnant of a long-forgotten Hive fleet invasion that went native and feral.

For those who dont know what a Catachan Devil is, here's a useful link.

My question to you guys is two-fold.

a) How would you go about converting a Devil? Would something the size of a Trygon/Mawloc be appropriate? What about more of a Ravener size? What could I use for its construction? Carnifex crushing claws + termagant/genestealer scything claws seem the best option but Im clueless in regards to the head and body.
The fluff states it's large enough to attack tanks, so it's got to be Ravener size, minimum, but I think something as large as a Trygon would have problems getting around the Catachan jungles.

b) What would be the ideal counts-as? Obviously Im playing off the fact it is indeed a long-lost Tyranid organism, which has reconnected/returned to the Hive Minds dominion, but what would be the ideal way to represent it on the tabletop? As previously mentioned, Trygon/Mawloc and/or Raveners seem the ideal counts-as but Im open to suggestions.

It would be entirely appropriate.

I mean....30 metres is nearly the length of 5 Rhinos nose to tail (they are 6.6 metres each). Or, another way, they are longer than a Warhound Titan is tall.
