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…
Fire Dragons 1st batch finished!
As promised yesterday, I finished the first batch of Fire Dragons today! Well, the white helmets didn’t turn out that great, need to take more care when painting white next time. Apart from that, what do you think? I’m quite pleased with the paint scheme,…
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….
Fire Dragons 1st batch almost done
Haven’t had much hobby time the last couple of days, real life getting into the way, but we’re slowly getting there. Above you can see the first batch of my small Fire Dragon squad. I’m currently working at the metals, then it’s the white helmets…
WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #2
Just a small WIP update on the bases for my Hierophants. My friend showed me this air drying clay material called Fimo air last week. Having some left over, I thought I’d try out landscaping my bases. It costs around £4 for a large slab…
WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #1
This project has been hidden in a box under a lot of other boxes for around a year now. With all excitement of the Tyrannofex/Tervigon kit I thought I’d return to my hierophant. The pics above show where I currently am with the project. But…
Showcase: Tyranid Swarmlord
Lets get one thing straight, I’m a massive Tyranid fan. They were my first love. With the excitement of new releases, I’m going to shelve the Necrons/Grey Knights/Ultramarines for a bit and expand my already considerably sized collection of Nids with more large grizzlies. I…
Fire Dragons 1st batch WIP #2
Again I’m so busy at my job, lots of overtime eating up my hobby time, had to work on Sunday, too, which sucked. However I did a little bit of painting, I finished the armour (except for one spot on the model on the right…
Fire Dragons 1st batch WIP (with mini tutorial)
Just a quick update, albeit with a small tutorial. As you can see, I started painting the armour. On the three models above you can see every step. First model – basecoat with VGC Dark Fleshtone, wash with Badab Black. Make sure you don’t let…
Showcase: Ultramarine Terminator Librarian
Some of you may remember my 2012 New Years Resolution post where I showed the awesome Tyranid Attack box set. Well I thought I’d dip into the box contents and work on the plastic Terminator Librarian. This guy is short and stocky, but I think…
