Afternoon all, looking for some advice for making/converting a Harpy. Im intending to use a Trygon as the main body, head and tail with the wings from the plastic Tyrant. Im thinking about giving the Harpy twin-linked Heavy Venom Cannons but im having trouble working out how to do that. I can use the Heavy Venom Cannon from the Tyrant kit which will go into the right side of the 'Harpy', problem is im not sure how to do the left side. I can buy the Tyranid Monstrous Arms sprue from GW which comes with a Heavy Venom Cannon, but it's desgined for the right side.

Any ideas on how to make it left?

Or other suggestions on what to do?

Thanks.

im not sure about the kit but maybe reverse the elbows and use a pin and GS to resulpt the shoulder.

failing that maybe have the cannons torso mounted with an ammo sac similar to the tervigons 'pouch', then use warriors arms as atrophied arms dangling at the sides of the guns

Here are a few from WarpShadow's latest contest: Birds of Prey

As you can see, there are many approaches to this conversion. Naturally, many 'Nid players also simply use the fantastic new Hive Tyrant/Swarmlord kit to make a Harpy.

Hmm, stick two cannons together?

Oh those pictures don't really help...
