Showcase: Tyranid Forge World Hierophant I
This is my first Hierophant, not the one you might have been following in the WIP blogs. It’s my older paint scheme. As I mentioned this is my older scheme. Plenty of yellow patterning and the green spot colour. It also has the striping on…
Showcase: Tyranid Forge World Harridan
I love this kit. It’s not too many parts and it’s structural sound unlike the Hierophant and it’s huge! Much bigger then the Hierophant with it’s impressive 13″ wingspan. The first thing you’ll notice about this model is I’ve ditched the resin stand that was…
Showcase: Tyranid Forge World Trygon
I’ve had this model for a couple of years now. The detail on this model far surpasses Games Workshop’s cheaper Trygon. The FW Trygon has dipper crisper ribbing on the chest, and plated carapace armour all the way down the tail and the Scything Talons…

WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #11
I’ve made some good progress with the Hierophant recently. I’ve had a little airbrush session and highlighted the carapace on all 4 legs. It’s looking almost complete now, but there is still a long way to go. Read on to find out how I masked…
WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #10
Wow, the WIP blog for this beastie has now hit double figures. Will it never end!? In this update I show the completed bio cannons and some interesting size comparison shots. Above I’ve included a full body shot just for completeness sake and to show…
WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #9
This project is starting to drag now. I think it might be because I’m distracted with the new mountain bike I just built. However, some progress has been made. I’ve been painting the bone talons and spikes.
