My First Army

I have two Exorine/Haruspex’s kits that I have magnetized the heads of so that can be swapped.

I built the head of one Exorine and then added my own flare with unused hand from Zoanthropes as side horns.  Blade from Hive Tyrant kit as head horn and thump from same hand as chin horn.   And for some reason part of the hands from Venomthropes.  I like the idea of painting this with a glow as if liquid is flowing through it.

Once I finished the first head, I didn’t want the second to be the same so had an idea that kinda got carried away.  I was thinking about creating a gun much like a turret and after looking through my bits box I found the leftover Cannons from a Hive Guard kit.  It started with just three in a triangle and looking for something to hold them together, which is were the base of a Broodlord came in.

It looked a bit plain and I was wondering how to hold it together and attach to the head and look natural.  Being a Bio-Weapon I liked the idea of having a bile sack holding liquid acid.  The boils are the cut of balls of arms that were magnetized from other models.

Out of curiosity I held a spare cannon up to the side and liked to look it gave, so decided to add them.  To make the arms not look like arms I wrapped wire around the them, then smooth off with putty to make them look like coils feeding the weapons.  That meant I had 5 guns, and after checking the book and seeing that it was a six shoot weapon I though it made sense to add the last bottom at the bottom of the original tripod.

I also decided to take spare Crush Claws from Hive Guard kit as used them to create the mandibles on the head as I can’t avoid being normal. 🙂
