Evil Eye Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I love these! Really like the Malanthrope in particular, one of the best uses of cotton-wool smoke/mist/fog I've seen in a while.

You’ve really captured the horror of the Xenomorphs from the Aliens franchise! Thank you I love these! Really like the Malanthrope in particular, one of the best uses of cotton-wool smoke/mist/fog I've seen in a while. Thank you for that, TBH I was kinda worried how itll look. Awesome work!

Axilleas Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 While two Dimas are better than one, I like the theme of having one in the list for the sole reason that it looks most like the queen from 'Aliens' to me.

INKS Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 it's funny but I was looking into doing Alien colors recently. easy to paint? fast? the glue would worry be a little but it looks good. they look slimy and shiny which I like.

INKS Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 what is your painting method for them? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369172-xenomorph-%E2%80%98zilla-project/#findComment-5701333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf Vengis Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 (edited) I keep returning to ogle these pics but forgetting to post. These are amazing! Did you just hold the model at an angle to get the drips between arms etc? Did you prep the models before applying hot glue via sealant or 'ard coat or whatever you might call it?

Hiroitchi Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 sorry its been awhile since I reponded.. Working on multiple projects. However I did add a malanthrope to the collection and guess what I also added a Hierophant, but it was bought 2nd hand. Missing a right arm, so I improvised. I'll answer some question I didnt reply to, sorry about that. it's funny but I was looking into doing Alien colors recently. easy to paint? fast? the glue would worry be a little but it looks good. they look slimy and shiny which I like. what is your painting method for them? Its pretty fast once you get the hang of it. I used the same technique for sponge chip weathering on the Carapace and drybrush kantor blue on the skin. After that I applu some Nuln oil gloss varnish to get the wet look. Once dry I add Micro gloss varnish to get an extra sheen and protection from the hot glue toothpick effect for the slime I keep returning to ogle these pics but forgetting to post.These are amazing!Did you just hold the model at an angle to get the drips between arms etc?Did you prep the models before applying hot glue via sealant or 'ard coat or whatever you might call it? nope, I just pick the hot glue up using a toothpick and then apply where I need em. I use micro gloss varnish, dries in like 10 minutes room temp of 70 degrees. I loike it to get the wet look of the xenomorphs Now as promised.. here is the hierophant and not the malanthrope, because lets face it we've seen enough of those. lol Yes I added bases to my hierophant so my opponent can physically can see where to charge to. lol WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369172-xenomorph-%E2%80%98zilla-project/#findComment-5728390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 That was quick! Nicely done, it'll be a real centre piece and not just because of the size! The mouth spewing is a particularly nice touch, I don't know how good it is in game but I'm sure it'll suitably intimidate opponents either way...

Hiroitchi Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Army or Renown Crusher Stamped list made my Nidzilla juices flowing again.... I'm glad that battlescribe as updated. Now it makes a collection pretty viable. Either I kill quickly or die trying.

WarriorFish Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 There's something to be said of such lists, go big or go home... Whenever I ran "experimental" lists I accepted that they tend to either work well, or not at all with no middle ground I'm sure that will be so for the Crusher Stampede, I'm looking forward to hearing feedback on how the army performs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369172-xenomorph-%E2%80%98zilla-project/#findComment-5775069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
