Tyranids continued..

So I promised to put up more 'nids and here we go.
first of all is a request from a mate who wanted to see my Old One Eye.
I assumed this wasn't a come on and he meant the carnifex instead.

He's a great beast and I was so lucky to pick him up listed as "bitz" for £6 on eBay.

Death Leaper & Lictor

not had a chance to field these guys yet so still to see there effectiveness, still they are great looking models.

Death Leaper

Lictor

Tyrant Guard

Tyrant Guard

Probably one of my favourite 'nids. They just exude brute force and aggression. Never let the Hive tyrant go without them.

Genestealer
Usually field two good sized squads of these from reserve or Infiltrate to mess up my opponent's day.

Genestealers

Excuse the brood lord in back, his arms are unpainted after a swap out for a pair that didn't come with the kit.

Hive Tyrant

Hive Tyrant

In a moment of weakness I actually included guns on this guy, twin linked death spitters. Then I manned up and replace it with a full set of scything talons. Much better!

So that's all for now, hopefully soon I'll put up some pics of my nearly complete marine army.

Laters!

Shameless Plug!

I currently have a Space Wolf Wolf Guard sitting in the cabinet at Games Workshop, Middlesbrough.
He's been entered for this month's "Big Choppa" painting contest. Voting starts on the 24th of September.
Look for the Space Wolf In Terminator armour with Storm bolter and converted frost axe.
If you happen on this article please drop by and vote for my mini.

Tyranids

Hive Fleet Wyvern. This hive fleet is a bit of fun, I decided that guns were a very unmanly way to play 'nids so I have entirely excluded them from this army. The whole army runs close combat with he only ranged attack being the Bio plasma on my two screamer killer.
Paint scheme wise i decide to go old school and have the old rogue trader genestealer purple and blue. Oh how I wish you could still run a Genestealer Cult army.
First up is the Mawloc

Has been a great unit to use, though he's a little hit and miss as an actual attack I've found leaving him in plain view in reserve has a great Psycological effect. most opponents tend to be very cautious with there tanks when they see I have him.

At some point I'd like his other brethren to bolster my army but that may be some time from now.
More pics of the nid's to come as well as a progress report on The Sons of Ignis

More pics to come soon.

Oh I have also been putting a lot of time into the new Space Marine game from THQ, great fun, even better when they fix multi player.

Tomb World Cyclopea

So first update in a little while and as promised, it's Necrons this time.

First out It's my converted Necron Destroyer Lord.

Necron Destryoyer Lord Conversion

Spider Lord, Spider lord...

Inspiration for this guy came after completing my Tomb Crawler. This guy is you basic spider lord with the addition of some legs from a non GW kit. I drilled holes and then made notches in the side vents to accommodate the joints of the legs.

To answer a question from a mate, the legs come from and old Airfix Robogear kit i got for Christmas ages ago (one of those misunderstood your hobby presents!).

Robogear Spider

The robo gear stuff is out of print now but apparently popular in Russia? I do spot the odd bits on eBay every now and then.

Overall I;m really happy with the look, he's a really imposing mini on the battle field and he gets a lot of attention.

Tomb Crawler

This guy was a Christmas gift from Coz, had a lot of fun putting it together even though it was a nightmare to do. My first Forgeworld model too. He follows the same multiple metal paint scheme as my Necron army with glowing green interiors showing through the slits in the carapace. Base was brought to life by the addition of a hoard of scarabs.
Unfortunately he's been a bit bashed recently and is missing a foot. If any one has a spare let me know.

I think I'm famous (Ish)!

So i was researching some Space Wolf stuff today and after tapping Sven Bloodhowl's name into google and look at other people's interpratations of him. I was amazed to find that 3 of the first page images are of my model!! Wierdly it also show's me on page 3.
