WIP: Tyranid Genestealers + Paint Recipe
I’ve been struggling with Hobbit hobby burnout for the past week. I wanted to paint something easy that I didn’t have to think about and would help me move forward with one of my other projects. After a little deliberation I decided to paint the…
Showcase: Tyranid Mycetic Spores
I converted these toys (Plasma Catcher Eggs) into Tyranid Mycetic Spores around a year or so ago. They were really quick to make using Milliput modelling clay to make some carapace claws, ripper tentacles and some kind of flesh venting. One more pic after the…
Showcase: Tyranid Lictor in friend’s colour scheme
Some of you may have seen this chat post where my friend Sierra painted one of her Zoanthropes in my colour scheme. She then challenged me to paint a Tyranid in her scheme, not wanting to let her down I agreed but not before kicking up…
Chat: Tyranid Zoanthropes + Guest Appearance
I painted these ‘thropes’ when the models first came out, so the paint jobs are a few years old now. So why am I sharing them with you now? Well read on to find out. This cool looking ‘thrope’ was painted by my friend Sierra….
Showcase: Space Hulk Broodlord and Genestealers
Last week I shared my Space Hulk Ultramarine Terminators, so this week I thought I’d share my Space Hulk Genestealers. More pics after the jump. I based all the models on standard bases so I can use them as part of my larger Tyranid collection. My…
Showcase: Genestealer Hybrids
Regular readers would have remembered my pitiful Table of Shame, completing these Genestealer Hybrids finishes off that list of incomplete models on my desk. Readers from Christmas, might remember my Hobby New Years Resolution, well 8 months in and it’s not going to bad. The arachnarok, is…
WIP: Genestealer Hybrids #1
The Sky Mother is calling us to rise up against the oppressors, throw down the shackles of humanity and embrace and worship our alien gods. These 2 models are very old plastic minis and the sculpts are really starting to look poor compared to the…
Showcase: Tyranid Tyrannofex
I really like the Tyrannofex model, it is a lovely blend of Hierophant and Carnifex. It’s a really good size too, it feels too big for the large oval base, and only just fits on it. The rupture cannon is massive. it’s one of the…
Showcase: 2nd Edition Tyranid Warriors
I use the term showcase extremely loosely with these models. I’m using it for consistency purposes because we at Tale Painters describe our completed works as showcase. So using the Showcase Tag you can see all our completed works, or using the WIP Tag you…
Showcase: 3 Rogue Trader Tyranid Warriors.
Pushed through the lack of interest barrier to complete this squad. It’s always nice to complete a project that’s been hanging around for a while. Also, I’m still getting to grips with my studio flash photography set up. I’ve bought a grey card so I…
