Does anyone have working ideas for Tyranid Shrike wings that don't rely on the expensive FW kit?

Got a few I wouldn't mind creating, although don't really know my options

Dark Angels may be worse than 'nids at the moment, but that ain't gonna stop me from painting more of them.

Like this count-as Azrael :toot:






Originally for his sword I wanted to do the blue-white reflective thing like I did with all my other power swords, but I hosed up massively on it. So after painting over it with black, I used the idea I did for his back banner and made a SPACE SWORD which I think ended up being a fair bit better overall and helped tie the color scheme together.

General consensus is Jump, Psycannon. Flamer and melee weapons are a hood bonus but not required.

Remember Monstrous Creatures ignore unwieldy, so the sword just gives you Force and Master Crafted.

Meh, the sword is optional then. Thanks for reminding me about unwieldy. I'm going to face up against probably horde orks or mounted orks and then a LATD cultist mob, so flamer is going to be better, but cheers for the advice. Haven't run my DK for like three years.

I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.
I needed more Zoanthropes to go with my new Tyrannocites, so I got the Zoanthrope/Venomthrope dual kit. After constructing the zoanthropes, I noticed that there were a lot of pieces left over that were exclusive to the venomthropes. I didn't want to let all those pieces go to waste, so with a little creative kitbashing and green stuffing, I made three venomthropes as well.

That venomthrope looks good, something in me also really likes seeing people stretch kits to their full value.

I noticed Chapterhouse Studios are re-opened for business, how the gently caress are they profitable after fighting a court case? All their products (I looked at the eldar and IG options) look absolute shite, are people buying these over all the genuinely great 3rd party alternatives. Chapterhouse exists in the same world as Anvil Industry and Victoria Miniatures. Mind boggling.

There are quite a few people that only care about playing games so don't really give a monkeys what their models really look like. Also some people genuinely like the look of some of there stuff. Its personal taste after all.

It needed a chestplate. I had an old broken genestealer, so I used the chest from that on one of them. I used a monstrous creature adrenal gland on another, and a chest from an old termagant on the third.

The tails I used were tail ends from other monstrous creature dual kits. Two of them have the toxic tails from Trygon kits (pictured), and the other has an actual zoanthrope tail that I just happened to have (never had the rest of that zoanthrope.)

On the UK Steam store at least, you can't pre-purchase and there's no price on it even, which seems a bit weird for something that's so close to release. Does it have a price on the US store?

Also weird that Steam hasn't put this in my recommendations queue given that my account has the entirety of DoW, Space Marine, and Space Hulk. It managed to suggest Mordheim...

Carnifex is on 60mm round and the broodlord base looks a lot smaller (and weirdly oval, although I don't see why it would be) to me.

I think it's that 45 or 50mm base that comes with the centurion kit.

Swap out the head on the captain with one of the similar ones from the Death Company sprue - if he's like any other plastic characters the head will be just as easy to swap out as on any Tactical Marine. He looks good without being completely over the top.

Does anyone else in this thread own an Imperial Navy Thunderbolt?

If so, what type of flying base do you have/how did you do it. A little while back I aquired a Thunderbolt off eBay with the intention of mounting it on a flying base, but never got around to do it. I don't have a dremel and I think it's probably a little too heavy for the standard GW base.

It is basically the same model from Space Hulk. Just with a hammer instead of a sword, and slightly less blinged out.

EDIT: Okay, not exactly, but still fairly close to the same look.

As a fan of Blood Angels and Tyranids, I'm pretty excited. My only regret is that I won't have enough money to buy it at release, so I look forward to buying the Blood Angels Captain for $40 on eBay.



edit: My pessimism spoke too soon, I'm still seeing Sanctus Reach boxes on eBay for $150.

Isn't Infinity standardising their base sizes to work with the silhouette profile stat for N3? I'm definitely noticing model scale creep though.
