Mr. Oddity Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 That is one good-looking bug! Really liking the new torso carapace design, makes it look even more imposing. Can't wait to see it from more angles. Master Commander Ajax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Eye Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Everything from the waist up is great. The base is excessive and the "cape" is absurd. Arbedark, thesarge44, System Sound and 17 others 12 1 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The skirt membrane is an odd choice but kind of works. Over all a nice model. Master Commander Ajax 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An organic skirt is dumb anyway, but particularly on a stealth killer that should be as streamlined as possible.

Dagoth Ur Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It's a fantastic sculpt. Love the skin "skirt" as well, adds a lot of great motion to the mini. Master Commander Ajax, ZeroWolf, BassWave and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaherty Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Looks amazing. Only pet peeve is that it looks like it's about to faceplant given the precarious placement of the hooves, but belief can be suspended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL_Mission Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Holy cow that's a good looking model! Extra glad I picked up Lviathan now, this one will look great with the Leapers. Can't believe they gave a Tyranid a cape but I like it! I wonder what size base that is, 60mm? I'd like it use it for a little diorama or something.

Doghouse Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 It's a shame they are so dismissive in the article about the skirt's function. I think it would make it more interesting go into a bit more detail, it kind of reminds me of the creatures in the film Beast Master. It does feel like it would be a bit of a nightmare for an infiltrator with it snagging on stuff, bit hard to creep up on someone if it gets caught in a door or on a branch. Having it envelop it's prey and consume it might make it a bit more interesting. Ahrimanjjb and Wolf Guard Dan 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoatibix Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Prize value £37.50! Bradeh 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrindur Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) For anyone interested, from the T&C we already now what he will cost: Quote The value of the prize is GBP £37.50 Might be a dual kit with the Lictor at that price? Also this: Quote And who knows, we might have something even cooler to reveal at the next milestone… doesn't sound as if they meant the next Instagram milestone as that would take quite a while and why tease it now? So it's probably for another website, Twitch is pretty close to 200k with 194K followers or maybe Twitter for 125k with 122k?

Bradeh Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I would assume Lictors will be one of the reveals, then you'll have the Deathleaper, Lictors and Von Ryans as a set basically. Edited June 12, 2023 by Bradeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"they won’t be the only vanguard organisms joining the Hive Mind’s ranks for the next Tyrannic War. Even more are coming, and they’re coming soon…" This sounds like there might be even more than those three for this kind of bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcomet Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Very very cool. Has an awesome silhouette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoatibix Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 This is very likely to be a one-model-box dual build kit to make Deathleaper or a Lictor. It looks like my trio of 2nd Lictors will finally be able to retire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Include a different head with different tentacles, replace the stinger with a flat carapace plate, leave off the the cloak with the carapace plate it is connected too and maybe a different pair of legs so it can stand without the tactical pipes and you would have a fine Lictor. Also wouldn't need that many additional parts on the sprue. Zoatibix 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The skirt is definitely... a choice, but weirdly it manages to work for me. Arbedark 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroWolf Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I love this, the organic Cape doesn't bother me thankfully but I can get why its a deal breaker for others. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
