Tyranid hive queen 2

I had done 2nd and 4th editions hive queens, so here's the missing link, my own version of the 3rd edition hive queen. She is based on the 3rd ed. Carnifex body and zoanthrope head. Some details are worked to show some similarities with hq3 : the legs and feet, feeder tentacles... The thing on the back is a separate entity responsible for the flying, it's a symbiote, like bioweapons and other biomorphs. The tail is bloated with eggs. I've gone for a natural, wild paint scheme.

I'm sorry, that simbiote wing creature is just so darn brilliant I'm going to use ity for my next tyranid. Yes it's criminal to steal ;-) other than that, it's GREAT. A bit crowdy in front of the body... but it could be the picture.

Having a symbiote for the wings is such a sick idea I'll probably steal it. The model looks awesome. I don't have any specific things to criticize at the moment.
