Show me your tyranid conversions

I've done a couple of conversions:

 

49698646513_4dbf4abcc4_c.jpgTyranid Prime Conversion 

 

49698646858_a02482ddce_c.jpgTyranid Prime Conversion 

 

49698646723_9d8f2d7aa5_c.jpgTyranid Prime Conversion 

 

I used a lictor and left over parts from the Tyranid Warriors

 

Next up:

 

49811460111_c603ac2bfd_c.jpgTyranid Red Terror 

 

49811762477_557b071d33_c.jpgTyranid Red Terror 

 

49811461766_213c6628a2_c.jpgTyranid Red Terror 

 

This one was made using all sorts of bitz. A Tyrant head and Mawloc lower jaw, plus lots of left overs.

 

What are you thinking of making yourself?

I've been looking for a good prime conversion, i might just steal this design for my own. I was planning pn repurposing my 3rd edition tyrant for the prime role, but I think it might be too tall. The lictor lower half works really nice.

Conversions made for me by Den of Imagination so not my work, however I thought they could maybe inspire you a little

Again im really interested in your prime conversion. I've seen the alpha warrior from hydra cast. But I found it hard to scale the size. How does it measure up with warriors?

Its bigger than a normal warrior. You can try to gauge the scale difference with the deathspitter and shoulder armor compared to a standard warrior. I still don't have mine in hand to do a proper side by side since they're making a pretty large order for me, but this is the small conversion they're doing for me (just add shoulder armor and mod the head to have the 3 spikes like a normal warrior, all weapons magnetized)
 
I also found this picture, it's a gaunt, but it you can see how your warriors stack against a gaunt to get an idea

War Wip 3

That's a big help thank you for digging that photo up for me. It definitely looks like its toughness 5, which is the issue i have with the prime we can build from the box.

Jbaeza94 that paint job is beautiful! Thank you very much for going through the trouble to bring us that photo. It's smaller than i was expecting, which I'm pleased with. The modifications you've added work really nicely. Looks closer to the GW range and less like a 3rd party piece. Thanks again

Yeah that was the goal! I've had good luck with the guys from doi, good communication and they can always execute my ideal well.

I'm glad my minis can help you!

Very inventive ways to build both units from the thrope kit Xenith. I quite like the gargoyle body used as the zoans tail.

 

I can't work out how to post pictures from my mobile, so here's a link to my latest work.. It's a maleceptor

My son is just getting into ‘Nids. I made this count as Lictor for him from the Space Hulk genestealer patriarch.50661441192_f34d622c0f_o.jpg

That's very nice! I'm planning something very similar with the 'standard' broodlord kit.

 

Just out of interest, where did the scything talons come from, are they just the Warrior ones? (I've got some of those spare, but wondering if they scale up right?)

Yes indeed, warrior talons.

Lovely model - though that's the Genestealer Cult one, I believe. I'm thinking of converting the DeathStorm Broodlord into another lictor also, they have great 'sneaky'/lurking poses.

You are correct, it is the cult patriarch.
