The original Screamer Killer looks like a fleshy head sticking out from a bio-mechanical exosuit of some sort, as if the actual creature is only the head. The same effect comes across in Nick's conversion and paint-scheme, which makes it look almost like a pink brain-monster steering a robot-body. Like a gnarlier Xenomorph-y take on Krang. :)

I'd say the head is an evolution of Genestealer to Tyranid.

It's extremely cool to listen to Nick explaining not only what he did but WHY he did it and what thoughts he put behind it.

I always loved the old Carnifex model. I keep looking at the modern tyrranids and thinking that kind of aesthetic is missing. I've looked a the new Screamer Killer coming with 10th and thought, wow, if I had the skills, he would make a perfect murderball. I'm glad you guys got together and did it.

What a cool colloboration! I was tempted by the big box to start my second army, but I realised I really enjoy kitbashing, so I went with Genestealer Cults instead of Tyranids. Now I see there's a huge potential for sculpting with Tyranids! I've only tried to add a hood and robes to a Dark Angels lieutenant so far, green stuff really requires care and patience.

It is the _DESTRUCTION_ Carnifex!

I prefer nicks version. It’s strikingly and unique. I really like how the head is inside the torso. I think what I love about the model is that it’s just legs and a torso . it mirrors the silhouette of the space marine dreadnought and I think that’s really cool.

I know for fact you guys are not going to see this, but I'm curious to know how do you feel about the fact that the tearing it when they fight space marines they were the rip through their armor so easily? Due to 40k lower space, mario armor should be able to shrug off a tank round, hitting it. Understand some of the biological weapons attorney they use, but when it comes to Kohl's quarters combat how does it work? Do they specifically go towards the joints due to multiple deaths of their brothers.

The head on this conversion is incredible! It's my least favourite thing on the new screamer killer (those bits of chitin on the sides just look like a bad hair style). But man, I can't believe how good a job this dude did on the head, and especially the jaw sculpt . It looks genuinely ferocious and powerful. Sinking the head into the upper torso was also a genius move. And the hoofs on the back of the feet was a sweet touch too. I wish I was getting one of these in my Leviathan box.
