As anyone who has fielded one of these can tell you - the most popular weapons configuration in 6th edition is two sets of twin linked devourers. Now this presents a conundrum - the hive tyrant box doesn't come with ANY devourers. You could use the one set of monstrous creature size devourer arms that comes in the Carnifex set - but you will quickly realize that after assembling the flying tyrant with wings and legs - you only have room for one set of devourers. The answer to this problem is the subject of this post - making your own TL dual devourers. Evan has shown you one way to do it on the blog (which look great and can be found here: Evan's TL devourers). Below is my take:
I used crushing claw arms from the carnifex set, metal tyrant lashwhips, and 2 termagant devourers per arm. You don't have to use metal lashwhips (in fact they may be hard to find now), but I had some laying around, and it made it easy to bend the "tube" to where I wanted it. The slight downside to using metal is the weight of it. I pinned the lashwip tube to the plastic arms to ensure I won't have to reglue it after every game. I also pinned the devourer heads - though you can probably get away with out this.
After assembly I magnetized the arms and added putty.
