Hierophant measurements?


Evil Eye

Recommended Posts

So I've been rather busy kitbashing a Hierodule from various kits, and despite the modelling phase not quite being finished yet I've already had an idea for a magnum opus- an alternative Hierophant, with improvements in design over the Forge World kit (notably better feet) and hopefully with less of a tendency to collapse under its own weight. However, there is a slight problem with this idea, as there are no plastic Tyranid kits with the mass to provide even a starting point for the beastie. I've seen some attempts to make one by combining two or three Tyrannofex kits, but the work required to do this without it looking a bit cheesy is enough that you'd be better off making one from scratch.

 

So that's exactly what I'm going to do!

 

I've been teaching myself Blender recently, and am thinking of jumping in at the deep end and making a 3D printable Hierophant kit to my own specifications. Whilst I currently don't own a 3D printer, I'm thinking of getting an Elegoo Saturn when I have the money, and there's certainly no harm in having a go at the modelling stage. That said, I'd really need to know the approximate dimensions and body part measurements of the Hierophant before I started to make it- I know it's roughly 10" tall, but beyond that I don't really know how big each piece is. If anyone could give any information on the size of the critter I'd very much appreciate it- obviously it's not going to be a direct replica of the official model (I intend to change quite a lot) but I want it to be roughly the right size.
