WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #5

With the red of the body complete, I’ve started highlighting the carapace with my airbrush. I masked off all the red areas and then using a piece of card, I highlighted the edge of each plate using the card to mask the join of the...

WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #4

The main body has had all the red applied, shaded and highlighted now. If you look at the legs on the left you can see what the red looks like after 2 coats with the airbrush. It takes a lot more traditional brush work to...

Showcase: Tyranid Scythed Hierodule

This model just screams aggression, with it’s jaws wide open and the tail in the air. It’s getting old now though. When it first came out it was described as a bio titan with gargantuan creature special rules, but now the new plastic kits are...

WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan Bases #3

I’ve finished painting the bases for the hierophants. I’m really pleased with how these bases came out. With the bases being this irregular blob shape it means the hierophants can stand quite close to each other. More so then if they were on circular bases....

Showcase: Tyranid Swarmlord
