logan_grimnar18 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hive mind, I have a couple questions about modeling a tervigon. First, they're ugly as sin. That big gross blob under it is hideous. I'd like to find an alternative, or a way to convert them. Since the swarm has lots of burrowing stuff, I was thinking maybe some sort of open hole? Any ideas? Secondly, I got a cheapy off ebay, but it's half painted, not primed (so I assume the paint that IS on it doesn't have a base layer), and glued together. Is there a stripper that will dissolve the glue and/or the paint so I can dissemble, base, paint, then re-assemble? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exilyth Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 How about placing eggs on the base in various states of hatching? Could have the tervigon (minus sack) guarding the eggs. Secondly, I got a cheapy off ebay, but it's half painted, not primed (so I assume the paint that IS on it doesn't have a base layer), and glued together. Is there a stripper that will dissolve the glue and/or the paint so I can dissemble, base, paint, then re-assemble? Depends on what paint it is - there's a nice selection of paint & stripping fluid combination being tested in the following vid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I was thinking maybe some sort of open hole? *snicker* So the open hole at the front of the Tervi that the gants are coming out of doesnt work? Your issue is that whatever orifice you decide on also has to have gnashing teeth, crushing claws, and spinebanks, or whatever, and be the same size as the Tervigon. To be honest, I'd just model the tervigon without the egg sac, and then put 5 - 10 gants on the ground all around it. For me that would effectively convey what the model represents. You can say shes summoning them from the back lines, or something. They come from the same place that the stratagem gants come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logan_grimnar18 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Thanks for the idea Xenith. hopefully it doesn't clutter the base too much, but a couple running gants will do for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Thanks for the idea Xenith. hopefully it doesn't clutter the base too much, but a couple running gants will do for now Once you remove the egg sa, there should be plenty of space beneath the tervigons chest to add a swarm of critters. I'd throw in some rippers also to really drive home the idea. I might just do this myself, actually, I've been wanting to use the egg sac in a Tyrannocyte conversion for a while!

Evil Eye Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I remember someone did a rather awesome conversion (before the model came out) using goblin spider abdomens on his converted Tervigon's back like eggs, Surinam toad style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
