WIP: Genestealer Hybrids #1
The Sky Mother is calling us to rise up against the oppressors, throw down the shackles of humanity and embrace and worship our alien gods. These 2 models are very old plastic minis and the sculpts are really starting to look poor compared to the…
Showcase: Tyranid Tyrannofex
I really like the Tyrannofex model, it is a lovely blend of Hierophant and Carnifex. It’s a really good size too, it feels too big for the large oval base, and only just fits on it. The rupture cannon is massive. it’s one of the…
Showcase: 2nd Edition Tyranid Warriors
I use the term showcase extremely loosely with these models. I’m using it for consistency purposes because we at Tale Painters describe our completed works as showcase. So using the Showcase Tag you can see all our completed works, or using the WIP Tag you…
Showcase: 3 Rogue Trader Tyranid Warriors.
Pushed through the lack of interest barrier to complete this squad. It’s always nice to complete a project that’s been hanging around for a while. Also, I’m still getting to grips with my studio flash photography set up. I’ve bought a grey card so I…
Showcase: Rogue Trader Tyranid Warrior
In an attempt to jump start my hobby again after a lack of personal interest, I decided to pick up a single model on my desk and paint it to completion. I went for a quick gaming standard instead of putting any serious effort…
WIP: Tyrannofex #2
Small amount of work done to this model. Nothing major to report really. I’m hoping I can spend some more time on it over the next couple of days to break the back of if.
WIP: Tyrannofex #1
The hobby for me has been a bit slow recently, so this model isn’t very far along in terms of progress. I’m hoping that sharing a WIP shot will help spur me on so I can complete it. It’s a lovely big kit with a…
WIP: Rogue Trader Tyranid Warriors
It has been slow going on these old skool Tyranid Warriors, I’ve been working on them sporadically in-between Dreadfleet ships. I’ve painted a lot of Tyranids in the past (including these back in the early 90’s) but I must say, the detail on these models…
WIP: Classic OOP Tyranid Warriors
I love these old Turkey Warriors. In 1994 aged 13 I jumped on a train after school to buy a box of these. I remember the box, it was purple with some yellow and photograph of 3 warriors on the front. You always stick (or…
Showcase: Tyranid Red Terror Conversion
I always thought the Red Terror model from GW wasn’t big enough to represent the creatures stats so I built my own out of a metal LOTR Fell Beast and Carnifex with a few Red Terror parts and green stuffing thrown in to tie it…
