WIP: Tyranid Haruspex #1
A quick break from painting Ultramarines to start something far more exciting! The colossal Tyranid Haruspex. Raaaaawwrrr! Gulp. This beast isn’t as big as a Tyrannofex but it still fills the large oval base. In the pic you can see I’ve started work on one…

Showcase: Tyranid Hive Tyrant
Another Tyranid from what feels like many years ago. Who now lives in Kansas of all places with his new owner, and I’m sure he is enjoying it:). I love this model, sure its a pain to transport, but the I think GW did a…
