My first painted tyranid warrior.... old test model. Painted it a while back then well took a while before I finished the base. stuck snow on it. So yes... snowed over grass.
Leviathan splinter.

so yes. wet blending original style. Have a lot more to do.


The snow well, was made using a mix of the static snow base, water, PVA glue and BABY (aka talcum) POWDER... yes... still not got the mixture 100% right though. But so far I know you need to use very little water, (just enough to make it flow a bit), a lot of static snow and a lot of babypowder. the mix should resemble a slightly runny paste.....


so yes, a painted mini at last :) to break the tone of galz and digital art.

Hey :) Although the powergamers say warriors suck and indeed they melt in the face of the current missile-spam, I still habitually field warriors. cheap way to toss a large blast template and also sit back on objectives while the rest of the army commits suicide in the front. Doesn't always work, but people rarely disturb the warriors because of the other scary monsters....

Yeah.
Though that depends on which edition of the Tyranid rules you're using, true the older rules were... bad.
But the newer ones are a HELL of a lot better.

damn its been so long since i faught with my own tyranids i've not even been able to use the new rules at all! >.<

The older rules well.... were....well.. hmmm.. I never did use the older rules. Current rules are kinda well, leaves some things to be desired.
like the iconic carni now is horribly overpriced.

Yeah, but then you've got better options for getting rid of that pesky battery of Basilisks at the far corner of the table. XD
Just set a trygon/mawlock on them!
