Evil Eye Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 So I'm currently working on building a plastic Hierodule, as the resin model IMO clashes a bit with modern Tyranid aesthetics. However, I'm a bit worried that my conversion might be a bit small compared to the actual unit? This is a very WIP model obviously, but could someone give me an idea of whether it's roughly the right size? Doesn't have to be perfect obviously but I don't want to be proxying the unit with a model that's far too small. For size comparison, here she is next to an equally WIP Swarmlord.

Xenith Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I found this image, basically it looks like the Hierodules have been outsized by things like the Haruspex and Maleceptor. I think as long as you use something like a Haruspex as the base, it should be about right. For me your model looks too upright, the torso should be closer to the ground https://external-preview.redd.it/mtrryN88GNLbLPpKSOybxq6UDqB6KtMihUC-hn7VKcc.jpg?auto=webp&s=268964ed032b230796ee0c763c7670e309f586e2 Evil Eye 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370288-hierodule-size/#findComment-5700141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson Fire Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 They haven't been quite outsized yet, although some models come quite close to their size.

Evil Eye Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 Thanks both! Hmmm, looks like she's in the right sort of ball park, but a longer tail would definitely help.

Xenith Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I also found this piece of awesome, full album here. I see: Haruspex body Harpy tail/abdomen Tyrannofex legs + haruspex arms for the back legs Trygon head Stone crusher fex carapace 2x tyrannofex rupture cannons. Probably cheaper just to buy the FW kit, no?

He makes some really nice totally-not-Tyranid parts, though buying from him can be a bit of a pain as he is located in Russia. I would recommend his stuff if you can get Boosty.to to work though, the sculpts are superb and he's great to do business with.
