Nick speaking,

Tyranid Time Again!

Nick speaking,

Well yes, I did fully finish my Tyranid army at the end of last year, but as expected, I seem to have accumulated a few more Nids over the last couple of months! The year of the Wolf is still on, and painting them is my number one priority, but I want to keep on top of the Nids and not let the unpainted minis get out of hand!

I plan on doing them in two batches, the first will be my magnetised Harpy/Hive Crone and Toxicrene/Maleceptor, of which I have linked up the magnetising tutorials I did if your interested. Along with them will be my first new Broodlord and two more bases for my next Tyrannocyte conversions. More to come on batch two, as I still need to build them, but for now, lets get the first batch painted!
