ChromeZephyr Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I need to get my hive fleet in a state better than gray plastic, so I'm in. I, ChromeZephyr, vow to fully assemble and paint a 30-gribble unit of termagants by 30th November 2017. edit: adding start photos. The first is the 30, the second is my farthest along. I'm not thrilled with the hooves/claws, I think I'm going to do them black. I'm also waffling on lightening the dark brown flesh. We'll see.

Disciple of Caliban Sgt Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 yes I feel the hunger and see myself in the need of a new army. I will probably buy 2 starter sets as I plan on melee centric and want trygons as my centerpiece. I will vow more when I get concrete.........like models..........and a codex............so hopeless.

jbaeza94 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I won't be able to participate this month (it takes about 3 weeks to get mail here), .I decided to go with both the old and new start collecting boxes and a tervigon box. I still don't know what I'll paint first, but I'm going hydra color scheme. Apart from being cool, its also the way i would play them. (Yeah, I'm gonna build a army... the hype got me) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340876-tyranid-army-growth-challenge/page/2/#findComment-4926003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronze Beast in the Dark Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I found an old Tyranid Battleforce in my attic. It wasnt a surprise, I knew it was there, but I still had to look :) Â Anyway, I figure I'll work through this the next few months. Â I, Ashriel, vow to fully assemble and paint 16 Hormagaunts by November 30 2017.

ChromeZephyr Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Update: I decided to try the carapace striping, which turns out to be a lot harder than the videos online make it look. Oh well, I'm a "tabletop-quality" level painter anyways so I wasn't expecting perfection. Progress as of last night: Close-up: The right one with only orange is the middle step, the left with yellow is after that. Once I get all of these little buggers striped it'll be time to apply the carapace wash, then the fiddly details and basing. Chances are I'll finish with about 2 minutes to spare. edit: changing image code.

jbaeza94 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I think they look good!It's true the videos make it look so easy, but I think you did well.

jbaeza94 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Thats my hope too. December I'm going to bee kicking it all off with some termagaunts as well (24) they'll serve as the test bed for my scheme and what patterns to use. I don't usually highlight, but I think it'll be a good time to start Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/340876-tyranid-army-growth-challenge/page/2/#findComment-4930966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate them. I hope I will improve....
