Hey guys,
It's been a long time since I've put files to plastic but on January 6th, something wonderful happened. A new rulebook came out for WH40k and I fell in love with a new slough of models. Time's a wasting so here are the WIP pics.
Bought a Trigon on a whim. After much reading it turns I probably won't field him at all so I just decided to convert him into a suitably monstrous Prime.
First up on the chopping block were the top claws. If this Trigon is going to be a leader it needs a pair of talons that show a bit of age and brawn. A set of crushing claw forearms make for a suitable "up armoured arm".
The kit comes with distended jaws but the "connective tissue wasn't to my liking. The first idea was to use the tongue from the acid maw Carnifex head...
but with quick caliper testing I realised that the bio plasma mouth is
After a quick clean-up the mouth is done, mostly.
Seeing as how I really don't care to use GS too much on my projects when just precisely melting the plastic with Tamiya Extra Thin Cement will typically do just as well if not better, the interior space of the jaws was filled with a fragment from the space set of teeth that came with the kit.
Looking at the tail there was just no way I was going to give this gribbly a rattle. The standard pincer also didnt look quite deadly enough either so out came the files again. Notice, still no GS
The completely kit.
In closing before anyone asks, I probably won't be painting this for a while as I have a)school b) a ton of gribbly projects to work on before a big game in 3 weeks. Besides, I've always preferred modelling to painting. Maybe it's the fact that a knife or a file always goes where you point it. Paint on the other hand seems to have an infernal twisted mind all it's own lol. Also, after doing a preview, I realised that there's some wierd image cropping issues. Until I correct the sizing issue, sorry to say but you have to "right-click/view image" to see the full image.
