Devourer Spore Tower (WIP)

thingiverse

Updated; added; tyranid_devourer_center_hollow_tendrils.stl; this has tendrils on all appendages; includes a hollow half-sphere underneath. Update; added mirrored tower. 2x new towers/chimneys were added; it fits the print bed on the Afinia just barely, you'll have to rotate along the z-axis. Scaling the upright one may be necessary as it might split into multiple pieces. Updated: image and STL file; devourer_center was printed at 85% in size. Work-in-Progress; CCW - Dune/Alien/Tyranid Terrain (let's mash up our sci-fi genres). It can be used as capillary towers and spore chimneys. The Devourer Center should be reduced/scaled based on the desired mandible/tower size. Other files will follow as they get printed successfully. Bases are hollowed; two reasons for this are to reduce filament and print time; however, you could also insert a 6-sided dice, shake it up, and set it on the table. If one of the towers/mandibles is destroyed, lift it up and see what number is revealed, which will tell you how many termagants are generated to defend the objective... anyone have any Megarachnids hanging around, lol? Working on adding more shaping/detailing/muscle, tissue, and pits/boils; possibly adding a "mouth" at the top of the spires/towers. This design might also be usable as a basis for Tyrannocyte/Sporocyst models... Not sure about scale/proportions but will play around with it; currently using Heroscape Marro Hives and old Battle For Macragge bits, so those are reference points for scale. The tower design is modular, so it's possible to make them larger by truncating them so you can fit them together from large base to smaller top...
