PumpkinHead Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Title says it all. I am looking for the devourers that go to Tyranid MCs. Or a Fex with 4 devourers and enhansed senses head. I know they are the hardest guns to get, so I am not expecting much, but if people can point me to where I could buy some that would work too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with deathspitters for this very reason. FW makes some: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Tyranid-Twin-linked-Devourers Too pricey for me, but that is one option. If that doesn't work, I have been considering buying another big bug. Which kit do they come in? I would be willing to sell you the devourer bits of one such kit. (not sure how many you need). Definitely something I'd need to wait until the start of next month for, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted May 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 The carnifex kit. I too have debated the devourer vs deathspitter. Half the shots for +1 S, -1AP, and +6" seems like a good deal but attrition seems to do just as well at tanks and better on hordes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted May 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I am debating cutting off half the deathspitter gun and replacing it with two of the smaller devourers from the gaunt kit to kitbash MC devourer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Do you have spare Monstrous ScyTals? If you cut the scythe itself off of those, and put on just the gun bit from a Termagant/Warrior Devourer, they look almost exactly like the normal MC Devs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just one set, those FW ones start looking affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I mainly picked the deathspitter because it's more fun to paint with my paint scheme. Beyond that, I do like having the extra range. Honestly, though, I wish we had monstrous spinefists. I could really use a pistol weapon on my hive tyrant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 They were typically 1 set per box. No idea in the 2 pack, but I haven't bought any in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Not that it would be cheaper, but have you considered the Exocrine? I've had really good results with mine. A lot easier to acquire the parts for, and with fexen in those two packs, it's kinda cheaper for the Exocrine because you only need to buy 1...

WestRider Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 The two pack is literally two Fex kits in one box. Each of the sprues is doubled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I have an exocrine, but I built a list that has 8 fexes and 3 flyrants and I would rather play the fexes to see how things go before I change my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains your need. So how many sets of these MC devourers do you need for that list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 The new list: Flyrant, Old One Eye 2x3 rippers, 10 gants 3 fexes with scyth talons 2x flyrant 2x3 rippers, 10 gants 4 devil fexes Tyranofex with acid spray All big boys all fun. It will probably get chewed up and spit out, but it looks fun to me. The melee fexes plus flyrants should give me decent punch in melee if they make it there, and all the dakka from the dakkafexen plus flyrants putting out 120 ish shots should be enough to make people fail saves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, how many sets of devourers do you have currently? Looks like you'd need 6(pairs) for the hive tyrants and another 8(pairs) for the fexes, but since you've been playing for a while, I'm doubting you need all of them (since you should already have a few). FW has them effectively at $12 per pair (sold in packs of 2 pair, designed for flyrants). Free shiping if you spend $120+. If I bought a 2-pack of fexes, which is more than I want to spend, and gave/sold you the devourers you'd still only have 2 pair if I'm understanding the contents right. You'd still need 12x more. So unless you only need 2-pair, I think you should look into conversion options. Better that they all match, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I dug my way through the garage, fighting back many a crazed dianoga. I found my tub of all things Tyranids bits. If it is from a sprue that I didn't use it was clipped off and stored for safe keeping. I proceeded to open the vault and go swimming like Scrooge McDuck in his money. I happened to stumble upon the devourers I was looking for. Not one pair, not two pairs, but 8 pairs of MC devourers. So needles to say, I am good and this thread is no longer needed. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
