Haruspex

A Haruspex is a Tyranid feeder beast designed to consume its victims wholesale on a doomed prey world, picking the entire planet clean of all biomass.  This conversion replaces the feeder palps provided in the kit with greenstuff tentacles and a hapless Imperial Scion is added for effect.

The build and Tentacles

 
 
THE BUILD
 
The original feeder palps which come with the Haruspex kit were pulled/sawed/bitten off.
 
amend4
 
An Imperial Scion flag bearer was modified to look like he was being pulled backwards
 
amend1a
 
 
A few structural tentacles were rolled with gardening wire inside to give them strength.  These were attached to the maw.  An inner mouth was constructed with plasticard and green stuff. 
One of the tentacles (with wire inside) was attached to the scion to look like it is pulling him but it is actually holding him up.

ADDING TENTACLES
 
More green stuff tentacles were rolled and left to partially cure so that they could be handled.  
tent2
 
They were bent into interesting shapes and left to dry before being attached with blu-tac
 
tent1
 
The tentacles were rearranged in a pleasing manner before being permanently attached with more green stuff
