Showcase: Tyranid Toxicrene
This huge writhing mass of whip-like tentacles is complete! The model is a lot of fun to paint, because it’s not like any other Tyranid model out there. It’s huge and really dynamic, you can almost imagine the lashwhips are moving. After the hyper toxic…
WIP: Tyranid Toxicrene #3
The purple blends are complete. I just have the bone claws, black carapace and my yellow spotting to do. Creeping into the background are doe of my other big critters. I like to surround myself with similar projects for motivational purposes. What tricks do you…
Showcase: Rebased Forge World Tyranid Trygon

WIP: Tyranid Haruspex #3
Not much left to do on the hungry Haruspex. Just the carapace highlights, my trademark yellow spotting and a final orange highlight to the red. I thought I’d use this post to ask you guys a question. Do you have a comfort zone? Do you…
