Looks great to far. Cant wait to see it painted.

Just one thing I noticed; It has 5 sets of limbs, Tyranids only have 3.

Anyway looks nice and scary, like a Tyranids should.

When I looked at the first picture, for a moment I thought you had converted a talon into a head like the bugs on Starship Troopers. Even though you hadn't it gives me a great idea!

yea it does look really good. it's a little hard to tell what is going on because it's a metal model mostly, and so everything is shiny and pointy, but it does look good. the big claws are painted well too! :]

looks good, but if it were me i'd not use the front legs. i'd replace them with more scathing claws to keep the look consistant.

p.s kudos for converting metal, not an easy task!
