TheNewman Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Finished a Maleceptor, added a Toxicrene to the list. Sort of. I realized the Tervigon brood-sack bit would match the "floating gasbag" thing I have going on with my Venomthropes and so a really ugly conversion was born. Also finished that last Spore Mine. At least I finished two models to the one I added.

Xenith Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 That's some prolific painting, you should be involved with the Bugs Life Tyranid Painting Challenge! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370147-a-bugs-life-the-tyranids-painting-challenge/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365544-your-grey-pile-of-biomassshame/page/5/#findComment-5734392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewman Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) That's some prolific painting, ... Moreso than it looks on paper. That sporemine was part of a repaint batch including two Biovores and nine other mines, and there was a Marine unit between each of those posts. I'm already involved in one painting challenge though, I like to try to not get involved in too many of those things at once Edited August 27, 2021 by TheNewman Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365544-your-grey-pile-of-biomassshame/page/5/#findComment-5735742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 3 zoanthropes down! I'm already involved in one painting challenge though, I like to try to not get involved in too many of those things at once If it's the 12 months of hobby/painting challenge, models done for this can count for both!

TheNewman Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 And five Zoanthropes down. Seriously, I should not have the last three posts in a row, I don't paint that fast and even if I did I painted a Stormspeeder, two Contemptors, ten Assault Intercessors, and built two other Dreads and a converted Chaplain on a relic jetbike in between.

Xenith Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 Good work! Seriously, I should not have the last three posts in a row, I think people have been posting in the Painting Challenge thread instead - lots of painted stuff there! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370147-a-bugs-life-the-tyranids-painting-challenge/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365544-your-grey-pile-of-biomassshame/page/5/#findComment-5746463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 Been a while here - hopefully the Bug's Life Challenge can help slay the grey! I've added a parasite and removed the 6 raveners, but hopefully will be crossing out the 4 big bugs I've vowed for the challenge.

Evil Eye Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) My pile just never stops growing, largely as I keep finding ways of making bitz into new creatures. For instance, the Shrikes I've been converting in spite of their total absence from the Codex... Spoiler ...And these Venomthropes I rather heavily converted... Spoiler I should probably get some actual painting done! Edited August 5, 2022 by Evil Eye Duplicate image. Sweet Emperor, they're multiplying!

Xenith Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Nice, gribbly conversions - get some paint on them! I've updated mine with the finished exocrine, carnifex and parasite...haven't bought any new nids in a while. Heresy fever...

Xenith Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 What colours are you thinking? The site is also a great place to post some test schemes and get some feedback. The first post in my nid painting log has a bunch of schemes that I tested out before deciding on the blue and white of Jabberwocky!

mooftak Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the link. I'll probably go yellow and black and or blue. I've seen cool yellow and black nids and I also love the Iyanden craftworld theme. I got hobby side tracked by a ps5 and Demon's Souls. The next two weeks should be more hobby focused, so I'll start a thread this week.

Jscarlos18 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Returned to the hobby in 8th edition(Psychic Awakening) so it is very small yet, but after adquring Rulebook and Codex: 1 Parasite of Mortrex. Had Battle for Macragge box when it came out as a birthday present, but lost it and never got to paint more than three gaunts (That I lost when moving, so who knows where they are now). I still don't have paint or glue/magnets so its in stand-by for the moment.

Xenith Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 Oh no, shame about the Battle for Macreagge set, that was quite nice at the time, though I never got one myself. What Hive Fleet are you going with?

What Hive Fleet are you going with? I plan to make a custom fleet inspired by Godzilla's colours and bioluminescent fish: Black and blue. The only thing I don't know is which side do which (carapace and flesh).

Xenith Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Maybe a dark brown/green for the flesh then electric blue plates like Godzilla? The only way is to try out some schemes and see what works! Incidentally, that black/blue scheme was one of the ones I tried out when planning my nids: There's a whole bunch more colour-tests including blue skin black carapace in my Hive Fleet Log: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365544-your-grey-pile-of-biomassshame/page/5/#findComment-5880163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
