Showcase: Tyranid Winged Hive Tyrant Conversion
I converted this model back in 4th Edition. It uses an interesting mix of parts to create quite a unique looking Tyrant. more pics and details of what parts I used after the jump. I used Fell Beast wings, but sculpted Tyranid details on to…
Showcase: Tyranid Forge World Hierophant II
I started blogging the painting of this beast on the 1st of March. 12 WIP posts and 29 days later the model is finally complete. This took me a lot longer then 29 days though. I didn’t document the assembly and that was quite time…
WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #12
The front claws are complete. This just leaves the back legs to paint and the model is complete. I added some glazes to the claws to shade them down to brown. It’s just helped tint them a bit darker. I’ve also continued with the purple…
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…

Showcase: Tyranid Mawloc

More work done to the carapace. I’ve highlighted the edges, added purple to the recesses and added the yellow spot colour. Coming along now, but it’s slow going.
WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #7
Sorry guys, this seems to be turning into Stahly’s Tale of Hierophant painting blog at the moment with all these WIP shots. Just a small update from me today to show some work I’ve done on the head and neck.
WIP: Tyranid Hierophant Biotitan #6
I’ve done a bit more work to the creature’s back by blending purples and pinks on the spore chimney funnels. I decided to dry brush these purples/pinks on instead of using the airbrush because there is quite a lot of detail on the side of…
