Old Tyrant, New Look (Tyranids, part 6)

Well I decided to take an old friend, the fearsome DakkaTyrant and fix him up for the new army. He's not as good anymore because of the lack of Living Ammunition, which was one of my favorite rules, but he might still be worth something. Anyway, the pictures:

Well that's all I got for now, let me know what you think and be sure to come back for more!

Tyranids (part V)

It's been a while but I've got some work on my 'Nids done. I managed to paint three Zoanthropes and a couple Warriors. I am a bit disappointed in the new warriors, I personally think that 2 wounds would be plenty if they were T5, but now a lucky powerfist that wounds three times can take out an entire squad. But, it is what it is. I really like the new Zoanthropes, especially their new Force Organization slot. Once again no bases but they're mostly painted. Pictures!

And then some Photoshop magic!

Thanks for reading, more to come soon!

A little treat (Tyranids, part 4)

Today I decided to give myself a little treat and put some paint on my Malanthrope. I got him mostly done but I haven't decided what I could use him as in the new codex, maybe one of the Doom guys. Anyway, here's some pictures:

Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading, and more to come!

Tyranids (part III)

A couple days ago I painted some Hormagaunts, which look awesome in the new book, a little bummed about the lack of leaping but oh well still awesome and cheap. I'm thinking a few 20man poisoned squads would be very effective at heavy infantry when combined with the rerolling of 1s to hit. Anyway I have them done except for the faces and bases so here they are:

The darker guys are ones I tested before I decided on a definite scheme. And just for the record, those aren't the bases I'm going to use but just what I'm painting them on. Well that's it for now, come back for more!

Tyranids (part 2)

Well I decided to go ahead and try to paint another Carnifex. This one is a Screamer-Killer, before they were mostly useless with new codex. For the most part I'm a bit confused about the new codex, I mean it's a solid codex and all, it just doesn't feel like Tyranids though. I miss all the options and stat changes and a different weapon profile depending on the wielder. But maybe it's a good thing but it's still something to get used to. Anyway, the pictures:

Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading!

Tyranids (part 1)

Well I'm back now, and lately I've been starting back on my 'Nids. I decided that my colour scheme would be simpler than before so I looked around the webs for some inspiration and found some light-skinnded, green carapace looking guys that I like. I don't remember exactly who did them, or I would give them credit so I apologize for that. Anyway, I worked on a Carnifex as a test. I don't think it turned out that bad actually, I have him done except for the base which I haven't decided on how I'm doing yet. Anyway, photos:
