I really like their mechanical tentacles. They remind me of the Sentinels from the Matrix films.

I was hoping that, by now, someone would have given this a try*.

You might be able to scratch build these if you found a proxy for the head. Someone probably makes a 28mm robot head sprue that would work.

I also saw someone release a tool recently that would make the tentacles really easy.

And the Khurasan Blasroids.

These are big (pictured on a 40mm base), but they might be appropriate:

With a touch of paint the tentacles on these could make them similar to what you want.

GW Tau helmet with wire tentacles and a little reconstructive surgery?

Gokiburi,

You are a genius!

And it just so happens I have a bunch of those Tau Firewarrior heads in my bits box.

Thanks,

Would CP Model's SF1512 MEDUSHARKS be of any use or interest? Or am I too late?
