Quick! Press the RESET button!!!

Got a lot to post about today. Yesterday I participated in the Warhammer 'Ard Boyz tournament at my LGS and I think I did pretty well. I had an almost all goblin army with a couple units of Black Orcs (to smack the goblins around). I played against a legand gamer around here my first game (well one of them, we seem to have a couple) and by some miracle or act of Gork (or maybe Mork) I managed to pull out a Minor Loss, he was playing Vampire Counts (an army I've never played against and knew nothing about). It turns out he massacred everyone else he played against though so I'll take that as a win in my book. My second game was against Wood Elves which caused a lot of problems from Fear Elves but I overcame it with a draw in my favor by 600 points. Those were the top players at the time and I was fighting for 3rd (there weren't many people at this one) but I couldn't fight anyone that I should have because I already had so I ended up playing against Skaven and I pulled a Massacre off the skin of my teeth. I ended up in 2nd place over all and thats when I came to a chilling conclusion.

I got $40 for second place and I ended up looking through the whole Citadel catalog and I couldn't find anything that I needed. Or wanted. Now that, for a gaming addict, is an extremely sobering feeling. I think I'm bored with GW! I know, its shocking but I don't know what to do at this point. I do hope this is a temporary feeling though. Updates soon.

Next order of business is my Tyranids. I'm tired of them. So earlier this week I stripped them all and I will repaint them and possibly sell them. I'm thinking a simpler scheme to get them all done and out of here and start a new army, plus the new codex is going to be coming out so maybe I will end up just getting another Nid army and trying again.

Then there's my Blood Angels. Now there's an army that I am sick and tired of looking at... space marines. I see so many and they are so boring now, and Blood Angels just aren't different enough to be... different, if that makes any sense. But I still feel emotionally attached to them. I am up to 13k points of them and they were my first army ever, so I just haven't been able to bring myself to get rid of them. This is a dilemnia I've been looking at for many months now and I am lost at what to do.

My Deathwing were unassembled and returned to their respective bits boxes.

And lastly my Iron Warriors. I've made very little progress on these guys except for one squad of Defensemasters (count as Plaguemarines) and the buying on a box to make into Seigemasters (count as Thousand Sons). And that's about it. I tried my best to keep it short but thanks for reading and come back soon y'all

Inquisitor von Docan (part 2)

Alright! Finally finished this little scamp up last night, he is now ready to burn mutants, summon Deamonhosts, and erradicate entire star systems in the Emperor's name (as well as in a fashionable cowboy hat). It took me over a week of pure attention and I have grown fond of this young go-getter (only about a hundred years old!). Anyway, the pictures...




Wow this guy looks horrible in these pictures... I promise he's better in real life, not that that helps you all... FEEDBACK PLEASE! Haha, and thanks for reading.

Inquisitor von Docan (part 1)

I would like to apologize first off for my absence recently but life has been getting in my way (don't you hate it when that happens?). I've had football and school taking up almost all of my time recently. Though I have been able to squeeze a little bit of wargaming in though. I've put a little bit of paint on my Night Goblins, and written up a list for the 'Ard Boyz tournament. And I've also BUILT AN INQUISITOR!!! This is me is extremely exciting because I love inquisitors (hate SoBs and Grey Knights though....).

Now let me start at the beginnning before I confuse myself. Last week I got store credit for winning a league at my LGS, so I had $40 to play with. Naturally I placed an order for a box of CSM (they sold their box the day before) and then I decided to go over and have a look around the Reaper minitures, for fun. Then I saw him. A Chronoscape model on the top rack behind two other blisters was Doc Holiday.

This guy was 5 bucks and so I bought him in a heartbeat. The guy was screaming Inquisitor to me and there's nothing I could have done to resist the temptation. So I took him home and got straight to work on him. After much curses and melodramatic "WHY!!?????!!!!!!!?!?!?!"s to the Emperor I got him finished and here he is (unfortunately I forgot to photograph him before I primed him)



Pretty sweet eh? No? Well he'll look better once you see some paint on him. I've gotten him almost done so I'll just wait and show you the pictures of him fully painted. My only problem is I can't figure out what that thing dangling on his crotch is and how to paint it.... kinda makes me wonder why I put it there (oh yeah to cover up greenstuff work)...


Well let me know what you think and thanks for reading

Tournament at the Guild

Today was a tournament at my local game store. It was 40k and 2000pts. I decided to enter it about a half hour before it started with my Blood Angels, an army that rarely gets pulled out but strangely is my biggest one sitting at 10,000 points. I went in the tournament not really wanting to win but have fun. Throw in a few things that I never get to use such as terminators and Mephiston. So I made my list that morning and my first opponent was Imp Guard, who I massacred. My second opponent was a friend of mine who is a professional painter (the main operator of Stiff Neck Studios) who happened to have a Nidzilla tyranid list with him. He's a great gamer and really played a great game. For the first 3 or 4 turns we agreed that I had the game in the bag but then Mephiston turned on me and whiffed, then died and my army just rolled nothing but ones from that point on, and he ended up getting a minor victory. My last opponent had a Genestealer army that I ended up beating him into submission on turn 4.

I ended up coming in 2nd and my second opponent came in first (the other two people above us had to play each other and ended up drawing the game, putting them under us). Not too bad for not planning on winning at all in my opinion. I did learn something interesting though, apparently psykers can have a Feel No Pain roll against a Perils of the Warp... makes no sense but it's there.

Well thanks for reading

New Goblins

I went out and bought a new box of Night Goblins, which I'm going to try something new with, and thats painting them on the sprue (something I've never done before). It's amazing how they fit 20 guys into 2 sprues...

Anyway a picture of the primed sprues:


I primed it white because I plan on dipping them. I'll update ya after the base coat

Iron Warriors Vindicator

I found a vindicator I had tried to paint a while ago in my game room and decided to show you guys a better idea of my paint scheme. While taking the pictures though I realized that it wasn't finished, but it has a lot on it. I'll most likely finish it sometime soon though. The havoc launcher is magnetized and all those bells and whistles. Anyway the pictures.




More sneaky gits

I finished painting my goblins last night, using a new style like I had said in a previous post. I had limited myself to 6 colours when painting them in order to keep it quick, then I dipped them in a wood stain, shot them with a matte varnish and ta-da! This is my only non-night goblin unit in my army at the moment too, haven't decided whether to stay with a night goblin theme or to just go with a short WAAAGH (get it? short? goblins? HAHAHA) of just all kinds of goblins, including red gobbos, and hobgoblins, and even albino goblins.

Anyway on to the pitures! Enjoy.







Of course they are not based in the snow, but I think I'll do that to the whole army once it's done. Comments and criticism welcome. Thanks for reading.

New Defiler

I started working on my second Defiler today. I found a Defiler in a box that was already put together (probably from Death Guard) so I did what any gamer would do... I broke it into a lot of small pieces with a screwdriver, a hacksaw, and an X-acto knife. I started to look at some conversions of Defilers again and as well as a lot of bipedal Defilers, I came to a blog from Lemmingspawn on the Dakka Dakka forums of a spider variant (see it here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/189538.page). So I used my saw and knife and glue and got this:


As you can see its a close combat Defiler (can't beat 4 dreadnough close combat weapons). I don't quite know where I'm going to place the cannon yet but this is the basis of it. Any comments or suggestions are always welcome. Thanks for reading.

Warsmith done

My very first model in my Iron Warriors army is done, and who better to be the first than the Warsmith! I got him equipped with a Deamon weapon (the thunder hammer) and a combi-melta, and I was considering making him some artificer armour as terminator armour but decided against it (thats the next one). Now without farther stalling for time, here he is:




The caution stripes suck but I think the rest turned out pretty well.

Warlord Continued

I put some arms on my Warlord Titan (used Volcano Cannon and Plasma something or another). The tournament was canceled though unfortunately but I was able to play one apoclypse game with the big guy (tabled the poor guy). I still have to do rivets and other detailing work but now the hard part is over. Anyway, pictures:

Enjoy and thanks for reading.

Iron Within, Iron Without

I've had the idea of doing an Iron Warriors army for a while now. At least a couple of years. I've always like the background of Iron Warriors. They are by far my favourite Chaos legion, mostly with the fact that they don't worship the Chaos Gods like the other legions do. They aren't in it for the promises of immortality or anything like that, they are just against the Imperium. They got mistreated back in the day and are just holding a grudge and allying themselves with the other genetically enhanced super-freaks against the Imperium (ie the other Chaos Legions). Also I've always had an interest in the Mechanicium.

Iron Warriors also give many many chances for conversions. Conversions are very fun and I'm getting rather tired of "straight out of the box" units that I am doing with my Tyranids. I want to throw in as many bionics as possible, in every unit. There will be no mutation in my army either. It seems to me that Iron Warriors don't care too much for mutations and warp spawns and the such. I always imagined them getting them but when they do they simply just cut it off and throw on a new bionic to replace it.

For my troops I want to use the specialized units (Plague marines, Thousand Sons, Khorne Bezerkers, etc) mainly. Just that for some reason the thought of using Noise Marines fills me with disgust. Don't know why but it is the truth so they are out. Iron Warriors openly use Bezerkers so there's no problem just using those so that just leaves Plague Marines and Thousand Sons. I like the idea of extra toughness and Feel no Pain through bionics, but also I can see using shield generators and fixed-up bolters. They both cost the same per person except Thousand Sons cannot take special weapons or almost any upgrade while Plague Marines have all the options. This makes Plague Marines, on the whole, more expensive because I have to pack my punch into them if I use them. I want to use them both and basically make one a siege squad and the other a fortification squad though I haven't fully decided which is which yet.

Another conversion I've been thinking about is Obliterators. I hate the mutated models that GW throws at us and got to thinking of using a large gun servitor instead though I'm still trying to think of how I will do those up. Other conversions for the future include a dreadnought on tank tracks, various Defilers, cyborg possessed and chosen, transport that be used as cover when firing (for my troops mostly) which seems cheesy at first but does it not make sense that that is what these little buggers would do? Still unsure about how I will go about doing that but it'll be fun regardless.

I haven't gotten much done on this yet as I am still in the planning stages. Though I have two Defilers (one is just normal that was donated to me and I haven't decided what to do with it yet) but the other cam out quite nicely in my opinion. Here it is primed black (sorry didn't think to take a picture before priming.)And here it is with its metal base coat:


Then I got to working on the Warsmith. This one was more or less a testing model for my modeling skills and will probably be demoted to a squad leader after I get better at this. I wanted a simple guy so but I wanted him to stand out too and this is what became of the two ideas squished together.


Then I threw some paint on the poor fellow but just the base iron because I haven't bought the gold I want yet.



It doesn't look as bronze in real life so it must be the lighting but I will admit I purposely gave it a brass-looking kind of tint which should look better with the gold and yellow.




I'll inform you after some progress so tune in again soon. Thanks for reading.

New Warlord

Well first off I would like to apologize for the huge lap in time in which I didn't post. Not that theres many people who I have to apologize to though. But I'll make up for it with something huge...

This Saturday, a local at our game store (well he lives there is more accurate) is throwing a tournament. But this is an Apoclypse tournament. Anything goes (that goes in an Apoclypse game that is) at 3500 points. Mixing armies, no force organization, genestealers in a land raider, 3 Marneus Calgars, whatever. We all get one free asset and can buy any additional one for 250 points (no multiples though). He also intends to throw in a "grudge match" in which one non-vehicle champion is picked and placed 12" onto the board. First one to die, flee, or willingly leave the board edge gets an extra 4 points to their score. Also there will be 6 objectives in each game (each being worth 4 points). For a total of 28 points per game.

My plan is to field 6 squads of cheap infantry (probably ork boys, or gaunts, or possibly Dark Eldar warriors) for each objective, a winged Hive Tyrant with two twin-linked devourers (for the grudge match hehe, 12 shots that hit on 3s and S5? with rerolls on all? and then just run away until he's dead) or I've also considered a Haemonculus with a few gadgets that could make any big man crumble (thought about giving him a Crucible of Malediction, which will make any psyker take a Ld test or get removed from play. Oh you're fearless? Well that's great for morale and pinning tests but it does nothing about leadership tests). And then... (drum roll please) a Warlord Titan. As far as I know nobody else in my group has one and it would be a sight that would make a Carnifex cry out of terror. With two plasma weapons, a double barreled turbo laser destructor (or something similar to that) and a vortex missile (mwahaha!!!). And then grabbing Tunnels as my asset for my chumps to grab the objectives. As far as I know I have it all planned out... except wait... I don't have a warlord...


Or I didn't back then thats for sure. Then is when I started building it, two weeks before the tournament. Now you may think "Two weeks! to build a warlord?!" and to which I would say "that's what it says..." I am not a fan, though, of the Warlord in the Apocylpse book or the epic version so I started looking around for something else to model it off of. I started looking around and found a model made by Dream Forge called the Leviathan Crusader, stands at about 30" and looks like this:

I was thinking that with both arms using that gun instead of a giant hand and a gun, it looks very much like a plama gun. The model itself costs only $550 but I wanted to make one instead of buy one. I looked around a little bit more and found templates and plans to build one out of cardstock! So I downloaded them up and printed them up, bought 6 bottles of Elmer's glue and 5 poster boards and got to work.

I built the legs first, then the core, then the cathedral he's hauling on his back, and then the shoulders. I have no pictures of these but they were quite a hassle, let me tell you. But this is where I'm at now. Just have to do the weapon arms. Now I will blind you with more pictures of my baby.
A Hive Tyrant to scale it up for you.

And there's a picture of the back and top for you.



I'll post about the tournament after Saturday. Wish me luck! and thanks for reading!

Spring Break

Sorry for such a long delay since my last post but I have been vacationing in scenic Fort Wayne, Indiana. Which isn't scenic at all... unles you consider corn and soybeans to be scenery. Anyhow I did not want to bring my minitures with me because it's only for a week. My family up here has been keeping me busy also and so I have no time for 40k!

So wait until my spring break is over and I'll post something actually worth reading...


Stay tuned and thanks for reading

The Great Devourers

Another one of my favorite armies in 40k would have to be the Tyranids. The fact that it takes all of the best resources the Imperium has to kill one tendril of its unimaginably massive hive fleet (ie the Battle for Macragge) is one reason for this. The other is how they continue living. As long as they are not the only living thing in the universe then they will always be killing, murdering, and being modeled into comical armies for table-top war games. They also remind me a lot of the Kroot's survival mechanism times 100. Kroot eat to change subtly... Tyranids eat to become new species.

I've always wanted a Tyranid army since I was 12 and was first learning about 40k. These desires only were magnified a year later (or so) when I played against my first Tyranid army. I got tabled and lost horribly.... on turn 2.... but then I played again and to keep one unit alive until the end! And I continued to play against this opponent until I was almost drawing a couple games. Sadly we got deployed not long afterwards and has only recently come back. But since I've seen a Tyranid army here, then here for a little bit. It was only recently that I actually started my own Tyranid army with the present of a Tyranid Battle Force set for Christmas this year. I got so excited that I just got right to building and such and bought the codex next time I was at my local game store. In the couple months since I've worked it up to a 1750pt army (which is pretty good when you don't have any time of income).


Let me start by explaining the fluff of my army. After a little research into the Tyranids I found out that before a Tyranid invasion they send out spores that supercharge the plant growth. And if Earth is anything to model other planets by, then about 90% of most planets will be plants anyway. So it doesn't take much to convince somoene that Tyranids eat about 85% plants and 15% other stuff. So why are all these Tyranid armies modeled as though they are only carnivores and only eat other animals? Which is why I have created Hive Fleet Flora!!!


My Tyranids have a green exoskeleton, a brown carapace, and a megenta coloured miscellaneous pieces such as the tongue and ammunition. They are fun to paint, mostly combinations of washes and dybrushing. None of them are based because mostly I don't know how I want them. I have very few of these buggers fully painted, most of them are all very close to being finish though (I ran out of the colour I highlight the carapace with and haven't felt like getting a new pot yet). So I don't have many pictures of them but I'll post them later.


My army is very much in the extremes, all my guys are either extremely shooting (ie my Tyrant) or extremely close-combat oriented (ie my bull-dozing, 250pt point monster fex). I noticed the only way to make these guys better in combat is give them scything talons (or crushing claws in the case of Carnifexes). Unlike most armies, giving them guns doesn't hurt their combat ability. So now you can shoot a million shots and still be just as devastating in combat, so most of my guys have big guns (or small guns in the case of gaunts and rippers... yes I even give my rippers guns). And how would you like being shot at with vicious beetles, and then being pounced by a dump truck sized killing machine? You wouldn't. And neither will be opponent.

With that I'll bring this to a close (mostly because I just got up and can't think clearly) so I don't waste any more of your (or my) time.

Stay tuned and thanks for reading.

Vortex!!!

I just got done fighting an Apocylpse game earlier today that was 18K per side. There were 6 of us on our (the good guys) side so we each got 3000pts to work with. Now normally thats easy to fill but due to past Apoclypse games that went on and on and on and on... I decided to do something with a little more killing power.

I managed to convince everyone to waver the 0-1 restiction on the Vortex Grenade! stragetic asset for me. Thus I did what was natural and that is to fit as many Vortex Grenades in 3000pts as possible. I managed to get 8 HQ choices and 7 Vortex Grenades in at 3000pts with another from my free asset to a total of 8 Vortex Grenades!! Now if you are still under a rock and don't know what Vortex Grenades do, they are a small blast template with a range of 6" and counts as ordnance. And because there are no infrantry units in all of 40k except this one situation that have an ordnance weapon, there is no place that says you cannot move and fire ordnance. Basically everything under it is removed: terrain, modals, Monoliths, etc. or if its a Super-Heavy or Gargatuan it takes D3 structure points or D6 wounds respectively. Then it is not removed but instead continues to float around in a random direction. So this little baby is a monster.

I deployed two of my 8 guys (a Jump pack-less captain and Mephiston). Mephiston murdered a 9man Deffkoptas squad and took one wound (from Perils of the Warp) and the other guy's granade scattered one inch away from both him and a bulding full of 60 guardsmen on my own team! But then my units started deep striking and blowing things up (I'll spare you the details). Long story short I killed a Warhound Titan, Stompa, 3 Monoliths, 2 Loota Wagons, and some mischallenous things with my Vortex Grenades and only friendly fired 2 Rhinos and a speeder (both belonging to the same player with a total of 700 something loss... he thought the Vortex Grenades are a bad idea). And in the end they consumed almost all of the terrain on the board.


This is something I've wanted to do since Apoclypse first came out and I am very glad I did because I thought it was a blast (haha that was a funny...). Though toward the end I was accused of "cheese" and such nonsense, at which I told them they could have brought some cheese if they had wanted too. Instead they were all just just crackers they I ate with said cheese. I doubt I will be allowed to ever to do this again but I had fun with it this time and I am glad I did.


But like after all Apoclypse games I am sick and tired of it and will never play one ever again because they are long, boring, and time-consuming (I got one scheduled for two weeks from now... curse this wretched addiction...). Though at least I got some painting on my Tyranids done....

The best army I ever played.




Well I figured maybe I should give you guys a little look into the armies I've played more in depth and I think best place to start is with the best army I ever played with in all of 40k. Kroot Mercenaries. For those that do not know Kroot is an auxiliary force mainly employed by the Tau. But not all Kroot have sworn their loyalties to the Greater Good. Small mercenaries bands lead by Master Shapers travel the universe in their Warshperes. Unlike the Tau, Kroot are capable of warp travel. Kroot have a Tyranid feel to them as well. The reason for these mercenary warbands is to go out looking for genetic material to consume, and Kroot have a special digestive system that allows them to absorb the DNA of organisms that they eat. The Master Shaper's job is to make sure the Kroot eat the right things to get the best benefit possible. Kroot are mostly paid by the employer allowing them to eat all dead (both enemy and friendly alike) as well as occaisional wargear. the most common Kroot hybrid is the Ork-hybrid, because Pech (Kroot's home world) was once invaded by a small Waaagh! by the Orks. Even though the Kroot were a very primitive race then, after 20 long years of war the Kroot actually destroyed all of the Orks (thanks to Anghor-Prok, the shaper who united all of the Kroot to fight the Ork menace) by some miracle. They eventually figured out that if they did not immediately eat the Ork corpse, they would shoot forth spores which would grow into more Orks.

Because of this the variety of Kroot Mercenaries are enormous. No two warbands are the same. After a period of time, though, all Kroot report back to Pech to add their genetic material to whole race. And thus Kroot get the DNA they need but cannot get under the employment of the Tau, who frown on such carnivorous habits.

To me the Kroot have the best fluff out of anyone, despite how little it is (Thank you Andy Hoare). Unforunately though Kroot Mercenaries are no longer allowed in 5th edition. Though they aren't very playable anyway in 5th edition if you plan on winning a game or two. The worse loss for them is the loss of the ability to consolidate into combat. In 4th edition my kroot could charge, and then just stay in combat where its safe and not worry about anything in the world. But now they charge and have no choice but to wipe out units and then say "Hey! Shoot us with our 6+ save!". Though now looking back I can't think of many things that were too wrong with them in 5th because its been too long since I tried. And now-a-days I miss that army so much. Now my only hope to play them is to wait until Vassal gets some sprites for them (yes I'm on Vassal, my user name is Shaper Jhae).

They were also a fantastic army for conversions. Because all you had to work with was a box of Kroot Carnivores and a Shaper blister. And you had to make 9 units out of that. I have some pictures of them as well. We're start with the biggest monster in the army, the Shaper Council.


Now my Shaper Council was truely a monster unit. I gave them each an Eviscerator and 2 hounds. They would run in and when they were dealt wounds it was to the hounds and then they would murder with 20 Eviscerator attacks, no vehicle, MC, or infantry unit could survive it at the time. It was truely epic. Occaisionally they would be given "wings" (which is the the jump packs are chained to them for, as well as a 100 pound badge of office).


I also had 8 Krootox...





As well many hounds and such but my pride of the army was the custom made Great Knarlocs...



Now the cool thing about these little guys is that they were made from little $1 dinosaurs (as opposed to $80 Forge World ones). I made two of them, my second one of course was A LOT better than the first to the left. These guys don't look extremely good but regardless it's hard to not be proud of them.

But eventually this army had come to an end for me. My LGS stopped letting me use them in tournaments and not man people wanted to play against them. They often got frustrated with their first turn charging tactic.


This army is now being recycled into a Dark Eldar Wych Cult army though and are (in my opinion) looking great so far. In a later post I will go into greater detail about that though.




And with that I think I will bring this sad sad story to an end.

Thank you for reading and stay tuned.

Tournament today

Well today is a tournament at my LGS for 1500pts. Now I personally have never been good at small games like that. Especially not with Blood Angels. But this list is deffinately different, it includes 3 Devastator squads (oh yes), Corbulo, and a 10man Death Company (as well as my troops: two 5man assault sqauds in rhinos and a 10man jump squad). The list started as my looking at the Devastator entry and thinking... "I wonder how much 3 Dev squads would cost" so I wrote it up and figured what the heck and threw in an HQ and some troops and a 10man Death Company.

I'm not really a big tournament player unless it's at my LGS ususally. I'm not an extremely good player at tournaments either. The best I've done my entire 40k life was last tournament (for 2500pt I believe) in which I took second (the size difference between first and second is mind-boggling here). And that may have been all from dumb luck, as the one before that I came in 35th place, but then it may have something to do with my army that I played.

It was hard for me to actually try to pick an army to play with for the 1500pt tournament. I have a nice little Tyranid army at around that and Tyranids seem to prefer small games as such. But on the other hand my Blood Angels have been good for me in the past. I decided to go with what (in my opinion) was the best choice of the army I know. In a tournament you need to bring an army you know front to back, all their weaknesses and strengths, all their bells and whistles. I have come to the conclusion that in a tournament the best option for an army is to pick the one you're experienced with, if you have access to multiple armies, like most of us that are addicted do.

Wish me good luck, and stay tuned

My First Post

Well first's time's a charm, eh?

Let be begin with myself here. I am a relatively new gamer, only beginning 40k 3 years ago and am currently starting fantasy. I have read many things and have actually been called a "Rules Lawyer" for some unknown (yet oddly flattering) reason as far as 40k goes. I am a big "fluff-guru" also and I try to play the game more by the background than the rules (of course I use the rules, but I base my "tactics" more on background than winning). I have read all the rulebooks and codexes (almost) from 2nd edition to now.

My main army is Kroot Mercenaries. Now I do not currently play Kroot anymore but they will still always be my main army. In 4th edition in the full year I used them I believe I lost 5 times (and I played about 5-6 games a week) and then 5th edition rolled in and I got tabled my first 5 games. The rules just did not allow them to play anymore. I currently play mostly Iron Angels (now am at about 10,000 points) which is a Blood Angel successor. I have always had a space marine army and it's always my secondary army. It's my "home base" if you will. Its the army I can never stop playing but dislike it all the same. It is still being painted (maybe in 4 years or so it'll actually get finished).

I also have a small Tyranid army that will very soon grow in rank to my primary army (which is of course different from a main army). It is themed around my grasp of Tyranids. When a hive fleet is about to invade a planet they send spores in advance which turbo-chargesd the plant life and such before they get there. And using Earth as an example, which is very largely plant life, most planets would be about 95% plant life that gets eaten. And so why aren't the Tyranids green and brown and do photosynthesis? Well mine are (except the photosynthesis part, because then they wouldn't be eating everyone's head off).

I also have quite a few other projects as well that will unfold as I get interest in them.

Stay tuned, and thanks for reading.
