<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout WIP, planning to add a head to it. Gonna act as a scout (Hence SPYder.) or as a companion to the hive tyrant, giving him extra sight.
Edit: Now with head!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6600196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6600196.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout Can't wait to see it painted!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6601676.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6601676.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout

The head looks like its a tau head?

Yeah, didnt have another suitable head, so I went with this. Gonna paint the lines on the "Face" area heavily enough so that you cant see them.
Gonna do the painting as soon as I get a base large enough to hold it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6601810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6601810.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6601950.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6601950.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout

How about greenstuffing some tentacles to the face or something, so it stops looking like a tau and starts looking like Spydercthulhu instead?

Definitely holding off on painting this guy till I get some green stuff now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6602012.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6602012.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6602966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6602966.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout

Can you add the tentacles from a ymargl genestealer to the face? One of these over a dead opponent would make a great objective marker.

Sadly I used both Ymargl faces on my genestealers because they looked too awesome not to use. I'll just buy some greenstuff or a genestealer head off ebay.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6604118.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6604118.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6604211.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6604211.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6604367.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6604367.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6607875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6607875.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6607948.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6607948.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout

It needs 2 more limbs. All Tyranids have 6. Good work though.

Hmm, perhaps pincers on the face instead of tentacles? Maybe cut off some Termagaunts extra set of tiny arms?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6608353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6608353.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout IMO.

You might need to putty up the gaps between the different parts. It's hard to tell from the picture. A standard filling putty like Milliput or Tamiya filler would do for that. No need to waste Green Stuff on basic filling jobs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609086.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609086.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout

I love using greenstuff for filling, I use it to fill gaps on pretty much everything but vehicles (where it's nice to be able to sand the filled gap smooth). If you buy the kneadatite brand instead of the GW brand, it's really not that expensive, it's actually cheaper than Tamiya filler over here.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609349.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609349.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609579.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6609585.page GMT Fully custom Tyranid Spyder scout

Alright, gonna go to walmart tomorrow to get primer, I'll see if they have any of that there, and I'll get to work on finishing this model up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6611831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583070/6611831.page GMT
