Decided to jump on the Tyranid wagon! So after picking up some figs, and ruminating on the best color scheme, I realized this: one of my favorite things about Nids when I first discovered them was the crazy alien colors! Then I realized that I don't think one person has used the new sculpts with the way back color scheme! So. I shall rectify this!


The color scheme

All the units will follow original color scheme (blue-winged gargoyles, purple and blue hormies, old school genestealer!)

As usual, I started off playing around with the lowly Termagant.





the Venomthrope



And my 2 HQ choices! I love the non-MC creatures for HQ, a lot better IMHO.

Parasite of Mortrex! (lots of greenstuff sculpting to be done yet)






Oh, the horror, Eldar get shafted (literally) again!



And the heavily armoured (I just glued two warrior back carapaces together, I know, super smart right?) Tyranid Prime! I think bladed Tonfa's make more sense than swords on big beasties, can anyone guess where I got the plastic blades?





More to come, and I picked up a bunch of new brushes today, so more painting as well!

Best Parasite of Mortex I have seen, actually. The only parasite I have seen

I agree the parasite looks great and I really like the paint scheme.
What has the venomthrope have in one of its tendrils?

Sneezy= cheers!

Will= That would be an eldar guardian! I have a storm guardian on the parasite's base as well. I allways like to have an adversary for my force (my Space marines had dead tau on the bases, even a dreadnought stepping on a tau head!)

Lol you have certainly gone for the Vs eldar option here. Sounds like a great idea for a theme of an army.

BEST FREAKING PARASITE CONVERSION EVER.

Consider your idea stolen, good sir. I absolutely love that model. Brilliant. Effing brilliant.

EDIT: Any chance you could post up some more pics of him? Like the backs and sides, so I can see how you attatched the arms/wings to the body and how you worked the spikes into the head? A tutorial would be sweet too :P It's not a big deal either way though.

nope, but I really want to know because they look BAD ****EN ASS!
Your Parasite conversion is stupendous as well!

They look like they came from one of the new Retribution of Scyrah plastic kits for Warmachine.

I kinda like the tonfa idea, really.

I love the Venomthrope's paint scheme. Kind of Halloweenish.

The Parasite looks very good too. One of the best that I have seen. My only complaint is that I think the second pair of wings should be removed. With that second pair, he now has 8 sets of limbs, a no no in Tyranid Physiology. I would be very happy with this conversion. You did a great job on him.

Oh come on, those two little claws barely count. :P
