Tyranid Hunter Quinn Conversion WIP
Ok, heres my latest little project... I once saw a squad of mercenaries on here which I've always been gagging to base a conversion of my own on (can't remember thee artist I'm afraid...), and since my mate and li'l bro have just started building Tyranid armies, I thought a Tyranid hunter style mercenary was in order. I wanted to create a battle-worn salvaged appearance to suggest a nomadic and independant lifestyle for this hero so as well as the standard armour damage, I used Tyranid armour and a gouged out warrior head for a shield (just watched AvP yesterday and realised I subconsciously ripped it off, wat a bad film to be influenced by...) I carved up one of the spikes off an IG tank bulldozer front to create a butchered and savage looking close combat weapon. I included a small Tau aerial on his pack to suggest at his utilisation of whatever technology is available to him. I reconstructed the inner mouth of the de-jawed head and built up the belt out of green stuff. Comments welcome, thanks! EDIT: OK, not wanting to sound too self rightious here but I thought this conversion was a little better than 'table top' quality... I'm quite new on this website so I dont know if there are particular reasons im getting a low score (because its unpainted? bad greenstuff? wat?) so if a few of you voters ould leave a quick comment as to why this is deemed a 5 then I would be very grateful. Onwards and upwards and all that jazz... Cheers, tom.
