And how many limbs do those models have?

All mine have 6 limbs and bulk about the same as GW space marine. Mine are not the latest models but I dont think things have changed too much.

Termagents, the dudes with guns run in the 20 mm range, foot to carapace. The Hormogaunts are in the 25-30mm range dependig on pose.

They are all 6-limbed beasts.

The termagants lope along on four legs and use the other two limbs for firing weapons, gesturing and writing bad checks. The hormogaunts hop about on two limbs, slice up enemies with the spiky forelimbs and have a pair of vestigial limbs betwixt the other pairs.

Call the Hormogaunts 20-25 to carapace.

Thanks guys!!!

If it helps any, those are 25mm round bases they're standing on, the same ones that (say) Imp Guard and power-armored Space Marines use.

Ah. I should have asked that first, and then compared.

Thanks.

Theoretically all Tyranids are meant to have 6 limbs, at least as a starting point (it's difficult to add wings without engineering a kind of branch in the upper limbs …).

If you're looking at it from a conversion point of view, then for the current models both types of gaunt come in 3 basic parts – left flank, right flank and head … which give you the body four rear limbs (the flanks aren't symmetric – basically one side consists of a 2 limb set which plugs into the other side which contains the rest of the body), and then you add the front limbs separately from options.

You also get simpler models, for the termagaunts at least, in the Macragge box set.

Ok. If I remove the middle pair of limbs, and use Genestealer arms instead of the scything claws, could the Hormagaunts pass for large "Chupacabras"?
