Oldschool "Epic" Tyranid Heirophant - Finished

 Here is the little finished bug.

 

Oldschool "Epic" Tyranid Heirophant - WIP

After the Exocrine, I've acquired a taste for bigger tyranid models and the next ‘epic’ beast is already in the making. Unlike the original Epic version, however, I won't be building the weapons above the head, but rather hanging downwards, just like the current Forgeworld version.

After an initial trial run, I printed out the body and head again in a larger size. While the rest of the model is 250% larger than the original, the body and head are 350% larger. The first printout was also not completely clean and contained errors.

Oldschool "Epic" Tyranid Exocrine painted

It was fun to paint the Exocrines and the Termagants. Looking at them gives me a cosy, nostalgic feeling. I've also printed a second exocrine in the meantime and I'm even thinking about going one size bigger.
