Irate Khornate Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 So with the reveal of the spider like biovore and pyrovore I was thinking about possibly putting a giant cannon on the psychophage and using it as an exocrine since they are on the same base. I'm mostly looking for some input whether it's a decent idea or a bad idea.

Brother Nathan Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) Id wondwr how the size profile compares but iv seen people convert the... rear... to fire like the bugs in starship troopers. My thought wss could be fun to convert that... butt... to spawn gaunts ala terviagon Edited July 15, 2023 by Brother nathan Xenith and ZeroWolf 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379547-psychophage-conversion-idea/#findComment-5972014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought wss could be fun to convert that... butt... to spawn gaunts ala terviagon I have seen several conversions where they took the birthing sack from the tervigon and fit it to the psychophage. The psycho phage is definitely a more slender profile in the front but I feel like the abdomen is just as wide as the exocrine. Plus I was planning on sitting the bio Cannon under the vents and above the head on that blank spot.

Brother Nathan Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Sounds plausable... i will be watching... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379547-psychophage-conversion-idea/#findComment-5972130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluezenscorpion Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 This is the same idea I came here to ask about. I did not want to create a new thread because the title says it all... The exocrine and the terviagon both jump out as prime candidates for a kitbash using the psychophage as a base and left over bits from one of the many dual kits. Are there any other options that might work well? Maybe the haruspex or toxicrene? The psychophage mouth appears to be a good spot to mount a new head from one of the kits above. With some carving and bits swapping the sky is the limit with tryanids. What other psychophage conversion ideas do you all have?

Brother Nathan Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Just built my first one so now ive seen it properly my thoughts... On repositioning... doable. Not the hardest. Especially the legs. Body tilting will be a pain due to the one piece nature of the torso but not impossible.tenticles and mouth harder but doable. If i get a second i will give it a go... To make other things... shouldnt be too bad. Vent smoke easily removed. Leg changes easy. May want to loose tiny legs and put bigger ones on rear abdomen. The exocrine on tail would be pretty easily doable. As would the terviagon sac. Head swap could be brilliant. Remove tenticles and everything up to plate and insert a head into new maw could look cool as. Certainly lots of play in it for What can be got for less than £10 online...

Xenith Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Liking all these ideas, toxicrene could be a contender, with the big bulbous sac and the spares after building a maleceptor.

Xenith Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I picked up another 2 Psychophages for peanuts thanks to GW's scalper beating oversupply of Leviathan, and am considering what to turn them into - my thought was to turnthe front parts into pyrovores, with some carnifex plates and other bits - the Exocrine would be an ideal thing to turn the rest into, but I get the feeling that the phage is a lot smaller, but maybe it's in the posing? The phage abdomen seems as bulky as the exocrine thorax, however it would need pointing upwards to have the same profile, unless you reverse the phage and have the exo gun firing out of it's ass, which has been suggested above. The arms and legs are also a lot bulkier and have claws/hooves as opposed to talons, so maybe some change needed there. Massive massive difference in bulk as seen from above. I definitely wouldn't be happy just sticking a gun on one and calling it done.

Evil Eye Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I've made a Psychophage-to-Exocrine conversion myself! The Psychophage makes for an excellent basis for monster conversions, being as it is on the same sized base as most of them and also being very cheap and plentiful.

Xenith Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 That's awesome looking at doing the same, great for inspiration. Evil Eye 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379547-psychophage-conversion-idea/#findComment-6016137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Just did a repose on my second one. Im out of parts but would love to do one up on bigger talon legs like the tfex ones and give crusher claws for a hausperax Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379547-psychophage-conversion-idea/#findComment-6016317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
