Carnifex--The "Drop-Fex"

Once I started working on a second Carnifex for my Tyranids, I thought I would Deep Strike him using a Mycetic Spore. Originally, I thought I might give the second 'Fex a Heavy Venom Cannon and have him hang back and snipe. But I just couldn't do it.

This second one I did, the "Drop-Fex", possesses two pairs of Scything Talons for max re-rolls, and leaving off the Crushing Claws allows me to take advantage of his Initiative bumps if he can get an assault off. I'll also be kitting him out with Bio-Plasma so he can do something when he lands (if he can resist his Instinctive Behavior), and Frag Spines so when he moves through cover he can still enjoy those Initiative bumps when he reaches close combat.









Have I mentioned how much I like this model?

Later this week I will show off my Mycetic Spore model solution, as GW makes no official version for the 'Nids.

  1. Nice,

    I'm looking forward to your Mycetic Spore. I've got some dried gourds I thought I would try myself. (My garden this year was over run with them...Mycetic Spores that is, not gourds. :)

  2. Great idea! Mine is similar in a way, but relies on artificial fruit. I will debut them later this week.

  3. Artificial fruit is an even better idea. It will not go funky on you!
