So convinced me to go post this thing... one of the most sought after mods for tyranids. how to magnetise the damn tervigon/tyrannofex. and I did it. took a retarded number of magnets though.
yes it's what I'd been working on recently. it's only half painted, so it's a WIP. (half painted = I put the basic main colours but didn't go into the super blending steps. I.e. it's the stage before I bust out the details and clean stuff, looks oddly nice for tyranids though)

So yes, since I got a bit of a craze in modular models, and magnetising every damn big thing I have so I don't have to buy so many models, this was the result. a fully magnetised big bug. and must say, was largely fun to do. the one that is irritating is the acid spray that was irritating to magnetise.

So yes, even though a tervigon is currently good and the tyrannofex is considered to be too expensive, I like the idea of the tyrannofex so I now have the best of both worlds. a gaming model and also a model I can pose as a more cool looking bug. also it can now be run as every type of possible equipped form
yes, I know, there's a version not here which is the tervigon with just claws n teef? YES that one I'd just not attach any arms to the thing then! HAH

so now my tyranids can FINALLY pose a bit of a threat to my orks.

Also just as a note to people attempting this: you have to raise the model slightly as you see from the little plastic and resin blocks I stuck at it's front feet. this is so that your egg-sac thing can slide in properly.

Questions? ask away, will be happy to help from here.
