neo06660 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi guys, I m actually processing a big restoration sequence of all my old ultramarines to get them as i want them to be (all custom base, new paint, etc). I decided to start with my two ugly tyranid hunters. In fact it was my 2 first minis ever, and they where prety ugly. So i decided to soap them in thinner, and make them shine again. More over, as i have another kid coming, i decided to slowly build another army (tyranids), so ...It gave me some ideas for my hunters. Here is what they are looking for now: As you can see, i made some little custom work: On the left one, i replaced the knife's blade with a custom thermagant synth fershly cutted and put the marine's helmets on the floor, all ripped off. The second one stayed pretty original, except the fact that is laying over a slain tyranid, thorn appart by multiple bolters hit. (note: the nid is missing a hand....) Well, that s it, i ll keep the feed coming. I ll enjoy your comments. See ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Looking really well modelled and fixed up at the moment neo! I'm looking forwards to seeing how they'll look when given some paint treatment! ;) Nothing is more satisfying than fixing up and restoring a miniature to glory.

neo06660 Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hi, here s a little update of my work. I did try for the first time my airbrush and it was like driving a luxury car. Here is where it's now: You ll notice the rocky base, it is in fact a new 40mm stand for my minis so i can showcase them on videos in a way that we don't see the turning stand (which looks uggly) I ll post em on my channel for those who would like to see my finished minis (there's a few right now..).http://www.youtube.com/user/TheNeo06660/videos As for the present model, note that the base will actually earth colored, it s red right now because of the airbrush dust. Well hope you enjoy. I know that smurfs are not the most popular (almost most hated out there) but i do like blue so ... Comment please if you like, or don't like.

neo06660 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Hey guys, A little update (for those who might care), I finished one of my two tyranic war vets. Here's the picture. The quality of the picture is a bit chunky so for a better impression, you can see it here: Feel free to comment. The other one will come within couple of days/week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Hiltraud Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 So far they are looking really neat, I like them! However, I must point out that there is a mold line on the leg of the dead nid! Pesky mold lines! :( Yours in Honour, Faith and Blood, Chaplain Hiltraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo06660 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hey here is the second Tyranid Hunter I remade from scratch. This one is my favorite I think. Let me know what you think of it! As usual, here is the video showcase for a better idea: Thanks for giving me feedback, it is really appreciated. - Status - - Tyranid Hunters - - Finished - - Neo out - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Really like that last model. Standing triumphant over a bullet ridden corpse. Nice Tyranid blood as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Deceit Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I am not a big fan of the smurfs, I don't hate them like some, I just find them to be kinda 'meh'. But you have done an excellent job with these pieces, and it fits really well with Ultramar's unfortunate history with the Tyranids. Keep up the solid work Brother.

The Yak Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 WOW! excellent Tyranid hunters. Your painting is great and I like the conversions. Looking forward to seeing more of these guys. PS: See what fun you can have when you start to diverge form the Codex Astartes :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
