This is my attempt at a Tervigon, it took what seems like ages. I have no idea about how many hours I spent on it? The carnifex kit was widened and lengthened with extra plates added, and all the 'eggs' sculpted one at a time. It was a real labour of love and I learnt a lot about using greenstuff whilst I was doing it. I wish I had more wip pictures but alas I never thought about it when I was working on her.
Oh and due to the colour scheme my wife labelled them smurfs :)

Doom Of Malan'tai.
I know I know, over powered and then somewhat 'nerfed' as they say on the forums. But I had to make one because it offered the chance to make something cool. So here he is, again this is an older project but I thought it was worth adding it.

Blood Angel characters
Just a few models from when I started my army. I have every intention of returning to them at some point, but I'm thinking about changing the look of them and going for a very heavily weathered look. I like the idea that they are on campaign without much logistical back up, maybe even stranded on a death or traitor forge world.
Magnetised Space Marines
We all know GW charges a premium for it's models, so I decided to get as much value for money on all their kits as I could. As Blood Angels get a nice discount on Rhinos etc if they take them rather than jump packs I magnetised them so i can get the best of both worlds allowing me options in list building.
Vanguard vets got the same treatment, but this time the packs didn't need doing but the arm options did. I think I covered most of the weapon combinations that you would need, although I found getting enough lighting claws pretty hard. I did have plans on doing a full 10 man squad for big games (maybe one day)

Land Speeder wip
Just what it says on the tin. These are all magnetised for all the weapon options, they have been sitting in my to do box for about 6 months and until 6th Ed is released I suspect that's where they will stay. Someone did comment that it looks like the pilot in the bottom speeder looks like he is having a good time :D

Tyranid Prime conversion
I finshed this around 8 months ago but wanted to post it as GW still seem unlikely to post an official model for it.
First off the collection of bits, these are from various kits in the range mostly warrior and ravener, with some other bits thrown in for good measure. The bone swords and lash whip are from paulsongames

The first step was to beef up the head, which is basicly a ravener head and a shoulder plate. Using greenstuff to blend the join.
The legs were widened and the tail lengthened with a ravener one. I also cut the legs at the joins and pinned them to lengthen the legs.
I thickened the tail out with some greenstuff and made the plates wider to bulk it out
A ravener torso was given some shoulder plates and the top gap filled to allow for the head to be better positioned.
The large bonesword is a monstrous creature arm with a paulsone games whip 'hand'
The other weapons are pretty straight forward with re-modelling bits where needed and using greenstuff to cover bad joins etc.
The finished model has been magnetised for every in game option.
I'm pretty pleased with the results. Here are a few pics of it for size comparison and in different configurations. The Shrike is a warrior body with the body and wings of a gargoyle with some ravener talons and some small paulson bone swords. It is also magnetised for using with rending claws

Fully magnetised Land Speeder
Although it was a chore to do the magnets, i think the effort was worth it. I have another three waiting in the wings but other projects have taken over!!
