Slitherguard- Tyranid Tyrant Guard Part II

By Rob Baer | February 27th, 2010 | Categories: 40k News & Articles, Conversions, Tyranids, Waterbugz

I got a lot of comments on my Slitherguard recently, and everyone said they were a little lean for their namesakes, Tyrant Guard.

I agree too, so I decided to beef them up to look like the bodyguards they are. I searched though my bits, and found some Carnifex torso plates that would work just fine.

I had to cut them down a bit but they fit the back of the model well.  When I glued them down, there was a small of a gap around the neck, but I tidied it up with some putty.

So here they are now slitherguard 2.0 bigger, faster, stronger. What do you think?
