To reiterate, something that looks like it could survive for a long time, with lots of guns, and that looks tyranid-y.
Thanks in advance!

Then I was thinking the front half of a TFex, a custom tail, and then 4x stranglethorn cannons or something aesthetically similar either poking out of the chest like an artillery battery, out of the sides, or attached to the arm joints. Does anyone think that would work/look good? Any other ideas? Heads I should use?

Comments and suggestions appreciated ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9769315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9769315.page GMT Brainstorming for a custom nid flyer

One thing about size, if you made wing lot bigger then your model going have disadvantages because with 8th ed they can shoot your wing instead of your body.

Just in case if you going use it in tournament!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9769583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9769583.page GMT Re:Brainstorming for a custom nid flyer As big as a harridan? Or somewhere in between that and a harpy/crone.


The harpy has those spore mine cysts underneath it for bombing things. Maybe you could take that idea and scale it up.
Or build on the crones tentaclid idea. Have a bunch of larger bio-missile creatures attached to it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9773027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9773027.page GMT Re:Brainstorming for a custom nid flyer

Between the Harridan and hive crone. Maybe 1.5x the harpy? Some wings I could possibly use are the FW flyrant ones - don’t own any so need a comparison shot with harpy wings before I buy.

Gunwise I’m thinking stranglethorn cannons (either 4 or 6), but because a single STC takes up 2 limb slots (1 for the gun, 1 for the slime bag) I might mounts them in the chest facing forward/down like a quad gun (or a quad gun with 6 barrels). Additional things may be added but that’s the basic concept at the moment - a souped up harpy.

Spoiler:




Also maybe of interest, not all stranglethorn cannons take up 2 limb slots. The ones the Harpy uses only take up one.
Spoiler:




You could potentially start with that and add an extra barrel or two]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9784470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/747787/9784470.page GMT
