Chest of Colors forum

OK so I am doing a piece for a games day table, basically a Hive Tyrant that has been captured and is being dragged around, the pics are the base and the captured tyrant sans arms and head, either side of the tyrant will be a sentinal power lifter, (forgeworld model) the claws of the power lifters will hold a bar to which the upper claws of the tyrant are chained (like a yoke). Obviously I can not attach the arm and head of the tyrant until the power lifters are ready (otherwise they may well get in the way of the bar).

The sentinels are (by popular demand) yellow. As well as holding the bar between them, they will each have a pole comming upwards from the box on the rear, this will have a cross bar to which will be attched tubes (guitar strings) comming out og the boxes and going in to the spirocules (holes) on the side of the tyrants head, filling it with drugs, the one on the gun side of the tyrant will also hae a barrle attched which will have another tube going to the gun barrel (via the craosspiece)

The tail has been redone (at the time of the picci it had got scrathed and patched a little but I was unhappy with it so repainted (layered), the tyrants left hoof will go in a puddle of water (to be applied after varishing)

Comments/thoughts/suggestions welcome (for the humourously minded, others suggested the yellow colour cheme for the (not photod) sentinals, however the designations (JC-A and, wait for it... JC-B are entirely the fault of my warped subconcious)

Great idea and it seems it's gonna be a cool piece! Do you already have any pose for the tyrant in mind?
As for my suggestions - the color of the tyrant's body is a bit too bright for me... I would mute it a bit, but it's just me and my preference...

From what are you gonna make the powerlifters?

Lookin good so far, and a good idea also . Cant wait to see more! Like mahon said the colors may be a bit too bright, but thats just me.

Skrit - the sentinels are the forgeworld sentinel power lifters

Mahon and Scaarabstudio, ou are not the first ones to mention this, I will try a weak ink wash, see if Ican mute them slightly

Cheers guys

no no no no Hive tyrant cant be captured alive they have a acid selfdestruction gland on the armpit in case some sneaky snacks (humans) capture him...

seriously, apart from the idea, i think you have a nice starting point and love the dark greens on the carapace... waiting to see more updates

... and sprays poisonous acid from under his tail, right?

sure. the funny thing is that tail rear sprays are ozone layer friendly, nids care about enviroment you know.

sorry for the offtopic
