Tyranid Time #2

Nick speaking,

Time for a quick update on the first batch of Nids I am painting towards getting my entire unpainted force done before 2015, and after 18 hours of painting I finally have the first base coat of yellow down. Pretty happy how the paint is bringing the Broodlord conversion together as well...

Now for the next layer!

HELP for HEROES Ultramarine Bikes

Nick speaking,

I know I have just set myself the task of finishing my Tyranids by the end of the year, which works out to be about 2k of Nids, but I also need to get my Ultramarine bike squad done for the HELP for HEROES Charity army we are raffling off. I plan to do a few special conversion for my bikes, with some wacky poses and I can't wait to get them started, so keep an eye out for the updates soon. In the meantime, why not go over and donate a few quid for some tickets to have a chance of winning what will surely be an amazing Ultramarine army!

Tyranid Time #1

Nick speaking,

OK, so the end of 2014 is fast approaching, and I have my eyes set on painting my Space Wolves in 2015. I am currently painting up my Eldar and Tyranid army, and would really like to get one of them finished before I start painting up the Wolves, so lets have a look at my Nids and the left over units that I still have to paint!

Right, after getting them all out of my case I have these to paint...

8x Shrike
20x Genestealers
57x Guants/Gants
17x Gargoyles
1x Trygon
4x Pods as terrain
3x Lictor
6x Ravanar
3x Hive Tyrant Guard

First I thought I would get the little bugs out of the way, I had to get a lot of them prepared, taking off the mould lines and repairing a few, as most of these Nids were second hand. I did a quick Broodlord conversion with one of the Genestealers, and got all seventy nine of the minis primes, batch one ready to go!
