Warhammer 40K: Tyranid Zoanthrope Conversion

April 22, 2013 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Presenting my Warhammer 40K Tyranid Zoanthrope, with psychically exploding space marine.

BOOM!

BOOSH!

POP! Like a big, juicy zit.

“I’m a floating brain for a reason, you know …”

 
The exploding space marine was made using standard space marine bits, metal wire, and green stuff. I used the wire to create a sub-structure and then built the green stuff on top of it in layers until I reached sufficient levels of ridiculousness. I then added the space marine parts to the exploding “frame.”
Due to the low weight of the exploding space marine and the high weight of the metal Zoanthrope, it’s easy to get a very dynamic pose. I used a piece of gothic terrain to extend the space marine far beyond the base, which makes it even more ridiculous.

While I’m not the best painter or converter or player … I do have a lot of fun with the hobby. And for me, that’s the whole point.
I currently favor Warmachine over Warhammer 40K for my gaming needs, but there’s no denying that Games Workshop produces fantastic models. The heavy use of plastic in their product lines allows for all sorts of conversion flexibility, which I absolutely love.
I hope you enjoyed this brief look at my Tyranids army.
