Reposing the NEW Winged Tyrant Prime Tyranid from the Leviathan Box for Warhammer 10th Edition

[@scottywan82]

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. A+ reference. 😂

[@ChrisFrosin]

Hahahah thanks man! My mind bounces all over the place doing these reviews, it’s hard to keep it on track lolol

[@tedwilliams491]

Great job mate, massively improves the model in my opinion, and doesn't look too tricky to accomplish either. I hope we get new Hormagaunts and Genestealers too !

[@DarioPattarini]

Spectacular the new pose. I found your channel just recently, but it's packed with gems like a treasure 😊

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thaaaanks very much and welcome in :D

[@NewOldEBM]

I love how this is a reposing video, but the actual real/hard reposing work and glueing was done in a jump cut/offscreen. I needed all that talk about the leaper arm kitbash instead of just... seeing the repose.

[@themalaphage673]

I personally love the original pose for this model, but this pose is really amazing as well! Love to see how easy it is to change up Tyranid poses!

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thanks! Yeah, that’s one good thing about this sort of ball and socket builds.

[@федяконовальцев]

The arms it originally has are already hormagaunt talons. Those arms you were referring to on the leaper are lictor's arms

[@ChrisFrosin]

Oh really?? Are Tyranid warriors in that evolution tree?? That’s awesome actually! I keep meaning to find that tree to look at it better. A nice thematic little force!

[@idrawstuff2767]

I was so unhappy with the original pose, I was going to buy a different HQ for the army, but this has just made this guy my favorite HQ option! Thank you for this awesome video! Your repose saved this model!

[@wasabi167]

I am so glad you made this video. I was starting to get a little frustrated on how to just connect the first 3 pieces. I could not figure it out and you made the whole process very clear. Thank you so much!!!

[@ChrisFrosin]

Glad I could help! :)

[@carysage]

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors... Classic!

[@matthewbull3688]

I'm definitely going to give this a go! I also thought it was a bit of weird pose, this looks much better!

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thanks thanks!!!! Tag me when you do, I wanna seeee! 😀😀

[@mahari7285]

Great Job! Fantastic Idea to repose the wings. I had the same idea but not the courage to do an experiment...😅 Now, I am definetely inspired to reassemble my Prime! Thanks a lot and many greetings from Germany! 👍

[@ChrisFrosin]

Go for it!

[@Ryan-wf7sh]

Well done! Definitely doing this to my prime, I don’t know what they were thinking with the original pose

[@1701Starfish]

Looks so much better, I'm going to try this.

[@Plarzoid]

Thanks, for this. It's nice to get videos focused on just one model from the release. I also didn't like the wings-down pose, so I'm glad this is relatively easy to do.

[@ChrisFrosin]

You are very welcome! Every time I get a kit I try to do one, so happy to do some for all the kits from this box. Some I love, some I didn’t. I like this one now 🤣🤣🤣

[@EmperoroftheRift]

loving the EVE online music

[@KrullMaestaren]

I was thinking the same thing with the wings. Nice to see that the change is simple to do.

[@sargesays5649]

Great video. I think it is an improvement to the pose. I'm still on the fence about getting this box, but your videos keep pushing me towards making the jump.😊

[@ChrisFrosin]

Hahha thanks thanks! More videos to come! I have the dreadnought to attack over the weekend and ‘manipulate’ to my liking 🤣😁

[@oilyalarm0614]

I personally think I will have the wings in the upper slot, I just prefer it like that, make it look like it is going to become a winged hive tyrant.

[@ChrisFrosin]

They don’t quite fit because the back carapace interferes with sweeping them backwards. It can be done but would need more sculpting and cutting than I was prepared to do in this. Tag me if you try it tho, please!!!

[@oilyalarm0614]

Will do

[@stevegoodson9022]

Nice, looks much better than the standard pose. Wish I had your kitbashing skills. I'm currently struggling to get a parasite of mortrex wing to stay in place, and glue enough rocks to the back of the base to stop it tipping over forwards, wish GW would stop with the topheavy models which don't balance in their standard pose

[@carysage]

I put my Parasite's tail straight into a Space Marine torso I glued to the base to hold it down.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Enjoy the video, everyone! And what do you think about the repose? Does it look better? And more importantly, SHOULD I use 'those' leaper claws? :D

[@leethax100]

The old school warrior kit had one set of MASSIVE (relatively) scything talons. I think those would look great on this guy

[@rogue1874]

Looks great. Nice job.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thank you very much!

[@mario19o85]

I will definitely repose mine too - your attempt looks really nice.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thanks thanks! Yeah, was my least favourite model in the box before this. Easily one of my favourites now 😀

[@Arcodus]

That looks terrific, good pose you made!

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thank you very much 😁😃👊🏼

[@tanen7264]

I’ve thought the same thing. I like this so much better!

[@intzbk1]

I have some extra Varghiest open wings I'm going to try on mine. I'm not a fan of the closed wings. Great video!

[@ChrisFrosin]

That’s a great call! One thing GW are good at is having lots of wing options 🤣👊🏼

[@JayRhondda]

Jason & the wheel warriors.. call back to the childhood

[@ChrisFrosin]

Hahahhaha boooom! My bloody mind bounces all over the place when I’m doing these reviews. It’s hard to keep it on track 🤣🤣

[@TheMichaellathrop]

So not how I would pose that but I'm just imagining clipping off the head trimming the horn and probably tongue off of it and then adding some big chaos horns and using it as the head of a champion of chaos who has received gifts from the dark gods but is still recognizably in power armor. Also the wings if you puttied up the "flesh vents" could make for an awesome flying chaos marine... or maybe for a kit-bashed Valkia the bloody

[@ChrisFrosin]

That’s sounds cool! Do it! 😀

[@greywulfslair]

That looks so much better with the reposed wings. Thanks for sharing and showing us it's possible.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Youre very welcome! Please tag me if you try the same 😁😁

[@Modge17]

Great conversion, your pose is so much better than the original which has just something ‘off’ about it!

[@GeorgeSlade1]

I like the idea of drilling the carapace and having the wings come from the back giving extra arms to the front or back sockets.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Please try it when you get your hands on one and tag me so I can see 😀😀👌🏼

[@81hewp]

Looks great.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thank you very much 👊🏼

[@hugheja89]

Looks great, might give this a go

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thanks thanks!!! Tag me if you do. Would love to see variations!

[@azofshadowmore]

I think I want to see if I can drill the back out to be like the Neurotyrant and make the wings attach like that with maybe some tentacles coming out of the lower arms.

[@Khobai]

im gonna try to magnetize the arms so I can quickly switch it between being a winged warrior prime and a regular warrior prime

[@ChrisFrosin]

That’s a cool idea!!!!!

[@DerBomster]

Great video; I like how you work and explain your thought process. Since you asked, though - I'm probably one of the few who thinks your conversion *didn't* improve on the basic model, which I found quite original and dynamic. Your interpretation is, dare I say it, far too static and conventional for my tastes - apart from the wings theres not much to distinguish it from your bog-standard Tyranid warrior now. But, hey, that's the thing about taste - you don't have to agree with everything and can still enjoy it. I did subscribe in the end though because the video itself is great and I'm really interested in what you'll do in the future!

[@Astralwolf23]

I was considering this too

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thanks thanks! 💪🏼

[@nicolastousignant9160]

I can't afford Leviathan, I can't afford leviathan, i can't afford leviathan, i can get along with only one kidney....can I? I rather liked the OG pose on the prime, it was unusual. Yours makes him look more threatening instead of "I just got up, can't be bothered, weres the coffee?" Vibe the down wings had going on. Wasn't interested in 'nids that much beyond the obvious "they mostly come out at night, mostly" but the sclupting practice opportunities are really compelling

[@ChrisFrosin]

You can’t afford leviathan, you can’t afford leviathan, you can’t afford leviathan! Just doing my bit! Tag me when you’ve got it and try some sculpting 😁🤣🤣🤣

[@nicolastousignant9160]

[@bradloafley01]

This turned out great. Also, pretty sure the background music is from Eve Online.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thanks very much!! and yes it is :D

[@Teddi92]

Glad I'm getting multiple Nid sets so I can attempt this. New to modeling so this might be hard for me

[@ChrisFrosin]

It’s definitely on the easier side so you should be fine! Remember to cut small amounts off each time you make a cut and keep fitting the part on to see where you need to cut more.

[@mlpsh6995]

I hate the original pose. A lot. This makes it lot like a completely different model. Spectacular!

[@ChrisFrosin]

Honestly, it surprised me just how much it’s changed the look! Gone from my least favourite model inthe box to up competing with my faves!

[@jonathandoherty9082]

I am 100% doing this to my Winged prime

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thanks very much! Looks SOOO much better imo :)

[@troyclarke3543]

OMG, THAT POSE LOOKS WAY COOLER, im using that pose when i get one a few weeks, if thats alright and i will say it was ur idea and i will tell my friends about ur channel too, i just cant wait to see that pose in more armies and that pose does make it look more intimidating too, i dont really like the wings folded down like u said so im very excited that i stumbled onto this video, also i love the content, i just found ur yt channel. cant wait to see more of iur content. :D

[@ChrisFrosin]

Haha thank you very much!!!! 🤣😁 are you yes or no on the mini ‘Lictor’ claws???

Yes yes do it! Tag me when you do 😀

[@Randobar]

Was there any reason to not put the wings in the upper Slots?

[@The1Flying]

Is that the old eve online ost in the background there?

[@ChrisFrosin]

It is indeed!! I was rubbish at the game but I played it a fair bit years ago :)

[@jamesfirth-haydon7381]

How about the claw arms from the Genestealer Sprue? Would they work?

[@ChrisFrosin]

Probably a little small. I ended up using the Leapers 'claws'

[@jamesfirth-haydon7381]

@@ChrisFrosin that’s true. I do love what you’ve done with it. The old pose was very Vampire Counts Bat Like for me. So what you achieved just opens it brilliantly and makes it look more terrifying. Also makes it look more challenging. C’mon have a go if you think you’re hard enough.

[@FRECHKN]

They were way better for conversion before they made these pose style. I dont know why they made all the winged tyranids use the upper socket yet the prime (shrike) they went opposite smh. My 3rd/4th ed warriors i cut and posed running like hormagaunts made them really look cool with monterous sything talons on top and rending or smaller talon on the lower socket. Unfortunately i sold that entire army that was super custom on eBay.

[@soddof7972]

If I buy Leviathan can you do this to mine?

[@ChrisFrosin]

Haha sure

[@cjgibbsey]

the arms feel like they are in the wrong position for me, wings at the bottom makes him look too top heavy, wings should be at the top and arms at the bottom

[@RobsterCraws25]

lol the eve online music

What are you using as glue?

It’s called MekPak. Link in description. I’m going to do a ‘tools’ video v v soon, too!

Man, that looks awesome! Dont like the original pose, looks like an overgrown bat; thanks.

[@ChrisFrosin]

Thansk thanks! Yeah, the original pose just looked a little lack lustre imo

[@fkaroundhandleit]

I went ahead and just printed out the onepagerules winged primed model, cause the gw one is fugly.

[@testosteronicon]

Nice video, thanks for showing how much better the winged warrior looks with a new pose :) do you just vipe off the vaseline after the milliput is done or do you wash the model? If the latter, what do you use?

[@ChrisFrosin]

I'm a little lazy to be honest and i didn't clean this one before priming. I was priming something else and had some left in my airbrush. However, DON'T do that, just get some alcohol or handwash on a cue tip or something and give it a quick wipe when it's dry lol. Mine primed fine, but I don't want to recommend it haha

[@testosteronicon]

@@ChrisFrosin ah hehe yeah. what kind of primer do you recommend?
