Arachnarok Tervigon Conversion Painted; Tervigon Alpha!

 Old School here with the painted Arachnarok Tervigon I converted while the Arachnarok was still a Black Box item (check out the original posts here). After the exitement of building it wore off I realized I wanted to change my color scheme and my approach to painting the Nids (there are so many, I wanted to find a time-efficient way to paint them consistently, so a little less detail than I put into my usual work, but enough to be effective) - so it took me a while, but she is done. I originally called her Project Drider, but since this is an expensive model to reproduce and I will likely use it for my HQ Tervigon, I have changed its name to Tervigon Alpha. With all that said, here she is with plenty of photos ...

 The bog bug was a lot of fun to build and even though there are some things I would do differently if I did it again, but I was exited to make it before anyone else did and that really drove me to just get it done with the bits I had on hand - all in all though, I am very happy with the model.

 The big abdomen really looks like it could fit a lot of Termagants in it!

 Here is a bird's eye view. This really gives a good idea of the size difference in the two kits and how they line up. As the twentieth century poet Sir Mix-A-Lot said, "Baby got Back"

 Here is a size comparison of the Tervigon Alpha next to a genestealer. As you can see, the model is a little too big for practical, competitive play, but still is very cool looking on the table.

... and of course, she is magnetized ... and of course, I haven't painted the other options yet or anchored her to a base, so be on the look out for the final - final post with all of those step done. I hope you all like her as much as I liked making her.
