Painting Update - Tyranids

 Hello Folks,

My Christmas painting project ended up being Tyranids, partly because the idea got caught in my mind and I had to, and partly as other stuff got delayed in the post strike.

Always thus is my version of Hive Fleet Tiamet.

Here's a shot of most of it for the thumbnail, more below.

Shot of the small bugs. 20x termagaunts, 10x hormagaunts, and 11x neurogaunts. Will run them as a gaunt species with scathing Talons, extended carapace and that's about it. The brain 1 is a Hive node mutant.

These guys will be warriors with venom cannons

Von Ryan's leapers, basically fighty warriors with leaping, really like these want to get more. Sadly sprayed them with white primer instead of clear spray so a bit messed up.

Raveners 

Hunter killer carnifex, this guy has a big head and looks qay different from a carnifex so I figure he can be a very angry Hive tyrant.

Regular hunched back carnifex. Had a hard time picking weapons. The Talons ard good but look bad. In the end I did crushing claws and Talons, will treat the claws as rending claws. Seemed a ok balance.

Fancy zonathrope, thought about making a custom monster for this guy,but he's really just a zoanathrope in a fancy coat so I left it alone for now.

This all came just about exactly to 1000 points. Figure I'll play a game and see what needs to be added.

Thanks;

Mike
