Showcase: Tyranid Mawloc

I painted this Mawloc when it first came out. It’s a pretty cool model to paint. My paint scheme has evolved slightly since this model was painted. I don’t do the striping/streaking on the carapace anymore, instead I just blend the colours (as seen on…

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…

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…
