There is a bit of misinformation in this video I'd like to clear up. First, Ripper swarm units can be run in units of 1-3 now and most people recommend 2 per unit so you basically get a unit with packs. Second, The Zoanthrope and Neurothrope hasn't gone anywhere the Neurothrope and 2 Zoanthrope's are their own unit now just like Tyranid prime with warriors.
I've been considering gettig the starter set, and hadn't an idea what to do with the 'Nid half. These conversions are pretty good and challenging, so definitely something I'd consider now :)
Lol that’s the exact thing I did with my winged prime. Didn’t like the lower wing placement at all. You have a little more wiggle room to pose the wings from the upper position too, so you can give him a different look
I'm a huge fan of the Tyranids, and it was their design of 3-4 Editions that drew me into Warhammer. But I don't like the trend in new miniatures like psyhophague and new biovore: scything talons should not be for walking limb! Especially biovore, it looks like a cheap conversion from extra bits. I would say to GW: keep the zergs and arachnids away from my beloved Tyranids. I would consider replacing the hind legs with some traditional hooved ones.
Agree. Scythes are for fighting not walking! As well as hooves i could do with some more actual talons on the feet atleast for some of the more climbing/sneaky dudes (the new lictors have a nice mix of split hoof and claw)
awsome conversions! I might have to try switching the screamer killers head out on my second one. I always assumed with the psychophage it had its booty up in the air because that was where its shooting attacks come from, and it was trying to angle the jets to spew out over its head, though i definitley agree it looks a bit off, and probably isnt the wisest idea to expose that fleshy soft underbelly
Thanks man appreciate it! Yea thats more of a personal issue i have with some nids i also dislike the pose of the Tyranofex for similar reasons but thats just me lol
So, I love the screamer convertion. I really dislike its head, but last model didn't quite hit me. I think you've done a good conversion, however, in my mind the model makes sense if it comes down from a piece of terrain. It sort of have this arachnid pose as it decent from a building or tree.
The first Psycho-Killer
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away, oh-oh-oh
the ripper idea alone is fantastic
Thanks dude! Gotta get those extra models where you can!

Thank you vor the video! The Psychophage conversion is very insightful - it just kicked me into converting mine in a very similar way!
Hell yea! Excited to see it :)
I wish I did that for my screamer-killer, I’m sad I didn’t think of it

Dope video. Cool tips. I especially like the ripper swarm advice.
Thanks dude! I did finally make the 3rd one so got the full unit now :)
I plan to try kitbash a spare psychophage into a haruspex after being inspired by your video
Great ideas there, as a kitbasher myself I will be doing this conversion myself 😁
Great work man! Love them all!

100% it just makes more sence
@@average_joe_krootdude5240 great video, will definitley be doing this with my winged prime!!

Amazing work
The scream in the video is way to loud for people wearing headphones. It was kind of harsh.
Lol sorry for that its hard to judge when editing it didnt sound too bad 😅
2 am its quiet, got your vid playing *screaming* neighbours light is on lol.
Im so sorry 😅😂
love them

A good base can save a bad model for sure! Thanks so much!
I got a mention 🎉🥳. Fa fa fa fa run away. 😉
Honestly, the phsycophage could pass as a haruspex.
Wait, those tyranids arent a thing anymore?
What do you mean?
The Zoanthrope and Neurothrope are still there they're now just a unit of 1 Neurothrope and 2 Zoanthrope's.
too much right ear
You do you. The conversions don't do it for me they look kind of goofy now
