This is the Prototype for my Hive Guard. If I'm still happy with it when I wake up tomorrow, I'll make another 5 ;-)
I started with the standard Warrior kit. First I repositioned the back legs so the model was crouched over a bit more. I attached the left side arm so it was touching the base when I glued on the body so it looked like it was supporting it's weight on 3 of it's rear limbs. The weapon is a Venom Cannon with the spikes from the sprue glued into the 4 recesses in the barrel. I had to chop the thumb off the tube arm as It was preventing the head from looking forward in a natural way. The head needed trimming to fit and to be honest I'm not 100% happy with the finish on that bit so I may add an armoured plate of some kind to disguise the join as much as possible.
I'm not sure about the tail either...
