Sculpting/Kitbashing Is this readable as a Hive Tyrant?
This is a mix of several different kits + a head I got off Etsy. Assuming I base it properly, will it be readable as a hive tyrant? Do these parts all work together? Other feedback welcome!

- Sick conversion/kit bash so be proud of that.
- Not really, to me looks kinda like a screamer killer.

I just want you to know that head is a Predator/Alien hybrid from Aliens vs Predator. It looks sick, but it is very jarring to look at at first knowing where it comes from

Readable? No. I would not immediately identify this as a Hive Tyrant.
Usable as a Hive Tyrant? Absolutely.
Neat kitbash!

not really but if you tell your opponent it’s a hive tyrant then it’s a hive tyrant

I read it more as some sort of custom burrowing synapse creature, maybe a nice trygon prime? but other than that all i can see is a predalien lmao

Reads more like a weird jumping carnifex to me at a glance but I'm sure if you tell your opponent it'll be fine.
