How big is a Tervigon??
« on: March 12, 2010, 01:02:16 PM »
I've recently been thinking about turning my test proxy tyranid list into reality. In my test list I've been running 2 Tervigon's. I'm up in the air about what to do to make them.

I've scowered a bunch of forum's. Most people out of symplicty have been using the carnifex model converted up, GW says to bash a carnifex and trygon model together to make one, but don't say what base to put it on!. I had an ah ha moment earlier this morning. Apparently a lot of people on other forums, are using the scythed heirodule from FW as Tervigon's. My ah ha was simply "hey, I have one of these and forgot about it!"

My questions is how big should the base for a Tervigon be? The fluff and pictures show him as basically a really big carnifex. If you kit bash a carni/trygon and use the trygon base its pretty big base. The FW heirodule base is basically a circlular trygon base. All of this matter for movement blocking line o' sight, etc.

I think either a carnifex or trygon base would be exceptable?

If people do not have a model size issue, I'd just buy another scythed heirdule running about $117 american, which is close to what I would pay getting 2xcarnifex and no conversion necessary. The other option is to wait to see when chapterhouse or trollforged gets there sculpts into production.

Bigger than a gaunt, smaller than a breadbox?

A pretty good conversion that seems very well accepted:

That looks good for a conversion.

I have seen a lot of good conversion's. From the fluff and the pictures though a tervigon/tyrannofex seem to be a lot bigger than a carnifex.
