Comments: My Hierophant is mounted on a rather enormous 12” base which was made from 5mm thick styrene.  I’d very much recommend basing this miniature as the legs can be fragile and are prone to warping if not properly supported.  It is crammed with exquisite detail – it really was a pleasure to build and paint.  I really can’t recommend it highly enough!

Beautiful transitions and striations on the chitinous carapace

As Goddenzilla says, basing the Hierophant is essential to stop those thin legs and claws splaying

A bug from nightmares, a superb sculpt by Forge World

 A gestation or absorption pool or Hive Mind node? This planet is doomed!

Great detailing on the fleshy tendon parts too, very insectoid and alien

A fearsome beast indeed, thanks for sharing Goddenzilla!

"Quick update, my Hierophant Bio Titan won Armies on parade last year both in its category and overall! It was also selected to be on the Forgeworld Website as an example for the product!"

Big bug!

Love the effects on the base.
