The Pounder Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I've been thinking of starting a Tyranid swarm for years, but I'm very invested in my Death Korps of Krieg force so I thought I'd never get it off the ground. All that changed when my group started Shadow Wars Armageddon, my brother started a Tyranid Warrior kill team. With that in mind he bought the Start Collecting box (which is great value for money!) I saw my chance and offered to paint them for him. So Hive Fleet Mantis was born! I've kept the colours simple and started with all the models I thought were cool from the selection he has. My personal favourite is the Tyrannofex! Anyway, here's the pics: Tyranid Warrior Tyranid Warrior Tyranid Warrior Tyranid Warrior Tyranid Warrior Tyranid Warrior Swarmlord by Justin Cottrell, on Flickr Swarmlord Swarmlord Swarmlord Tyrannofex Tyrannofex Tyrannofex Tyrannofex Thanks for looking!

Reyner Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Scheme looks cool, you need to do an Apothecary on one of the bases with the name of toboggan.. :D The greeny blue is a good look.

The Pounder Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Cheers lads! Next up I have to do some of the little critters (10 Gargoyles and 12 Termagaunts!) Is there any advice I can give to my brother about where to go next? I love Tyranid models but have no clue as to what works! I know he wants to get Deathleaper, maybe some Hormagaunts?
