These are all sculpted by you?


Do you mean the Exocrines?
Those are conversions using a Termagaunt as base, with Genestaeler arms, and the head of a Ripper Swarm :)


Hi!

Ah, I thought they were sculpts! ;D

Someone who can do sculpts like that get contacted by me pretty quickly. ;)

You can check the Exocrine "tutorial" here: http://foroasaltorabioso.blogspot.com.e ... rinos.html

There are some photos where you can see the parts of the model, it is easy if you have the 40k bits

Same goes with the Trygons: http://foroasaltorabioso.blogspot.com.e ... n-pap.html

I hope it can be of some use! :)

Wow. This is quickly becoming the current golden standard of Nid swarm design, methinks.

That looks stunning. If that were to take a silicone bath, it would probably multiply...

I still don't know how to do that... :{[]

But I'll make some copies of it even by more rudimentary methods xD

Thank you caregadras! :)

I've finished the Lictors:

Image

Even though those have ended up looking little bit too big, they look quite nice too, and it's the first model I've done by myself (all but the 2 scything talons, as you can see here: http://foroasaltorabioso.blogspot.com.e ... ctors.html )

Those are the 3 models that are finished. 2 are using their camuflage xD

I want to do 3 more, what would you do as "diorama". I'm sure I'll do something with a marine in at least one of the bases, but how would you do it?
Hope you like them! :D

Cool idea on the camo but right now the one on the building just looks unpainted :/
Perhaps keep the concrete gray on the front but blend on the far parts, especially that led by tail, some red? That way it looks like it's mid transform.

Great work with the sculpting as usual and good idea with the camo :) I've long planned to do that for my lictors and stealth suits. I think your grey one looks good as is.

I reckon the one behind the red bush should have some of the grey plates on just its lower half turn red too.

A cool pose could be a marine being very casual, unaware of a lictor directly behind him posed about to strike. Or maybe even a marine posed looking through some binoculars as though looking around for it, while it's still managed to get immediately behind him. Helps emphasise the stealth.

Nice to see the biotitan I sold you painted up :)

Yeah, I think you might be right, but I really wanted to show how well the lictors can camuflage, and even if it looks unpainted (and it could be) i've reallu done the carapace like all the others, black, grey and almost white lines on them, because I wanted the skin to be able to transform, but not the carapace.
The next ones will never be all gray, and will have at least som part painted with an other color, because I don't want it to look as if it is unpainted xD

As I say just above, I wanted the skin to change color, but not the carapace... it just makes more logic to me that the "bone" can't change colors (yeah... logic to a bunch of giant alien monsters xD)

So you'd put it standing right behind it? or being up something like a wall and looking at the marine from above?

Yeah man, I've really enjoyed doing it! :)
I really hope you like how it ended up looking! XD

Would it be to much if I would ask for a step by step tutorial on how to sculpt him :)?

Wonderful work!
