Hive Fleet Nundu, the lost Tendril

[Brother Nathan]

Basic layers and wanted to figure markings. Think itll work. Will be used as a tyrant guard

[ZeroWolf]

Looking good, I like the way you've got the scything talons stored. Makes me think they're like swords hanging at its sides, waiting for the moment someone gets too close.

[Brother Nathan]

Theres that and thw whole when you get something class would u really bother  to have them in the way. The fact that this is a 3rd party 3d print the talons just make it look niddy.  It may be too small for a fex and a bit to bif for much rlse so guard somewhat is best i could do. 

[Brother Nathan]

No updates nor likely to be anythis week but iv an idea... terrain. Im thinking to make buildings very roughly out of balsa... then melt plastic very liberally over them so it looks like theve literally been melted by bio plasma. A few bits done right combined with what i have should complete a table i think... 

[ZeroWolf]

Sounds like a good idea 

[Brother Nathan]

Because distractions are amazing...and i got inspired to go at it again...

[ZeroWolf]

Nice and crabby!

[Xenith]

What on earth?! Some kind of zoat?

You can also do this with expanded polystyrent/styrofoam - if you can fiend building shape bits of it, splash poly cement on parts of it and it will melt away like it's been attacked, then coat it in pva and sand so the solvent in spray paint doesn't dissolve further.

 

[Brother Nathan]

yeah been theres before and whilst fun its not very... survivable. i was looking at how well my old bottle pods i made for my nids and how well theyve survived their showboxes... if i make this work in my head it should be class...

[Brother Nathan]

got another league. 3 games 1 per month  so, codex permitting this is my planned army, bio weapons to be adjusted...

Let us know how it goes, and good luck.

[The Pounder]

Good luck!

 

I’d like to know how the Trygon performs, I love the model and would like to field one!

[Brother Nathan]

 

Thanks. Should be grand. 

Far as trygon... i dont think its amazing for its points and will likely overkill its first target and get obliterated for it. But the option to drop in at short range on an objective and blitz a unit on it is tempting... may be good using that arrive in opponents turn strat...

[The Pounder]

Cheers for the reply.

 

 It’ll be a while until I get one (probably after the codex drops) 

 

I already have a bit of a backlog of models to paint before I add any more to my pile of shame!

[Brother Nathan]

Progress on terv. May not seem much but layering it up before greenstuff final layer. More chonking to go. Also need far bigger base than i have as do want it to look like leaving a snail trail...

Also did some on my objective markers sp they are suitable multi army.

[ZeroWolf]

That's coming along nicely  Got a lot of junk in the trunk 

[Brother Nathan]

cheers. it will have some more but its getting close to right size. not quite happy with the neck area yet either but each layer is definitely closer to my aim. will have to figure back vents too... sigh. so i also add a set of smaller scything talons?

[ZeroWolf]

Where would you be putting the scything talons? Above the claws?

[Brother Nathan]

possibly a set of small relatively defunct looking ones tucked up under the crushing claws... then again its way above the number of required limbs...

[ZeroWolf]

You could get away with saying that the two legs raised in the air at the front are scything talons.

[Brother Nathan]

That i could. Wil think on it. 

Anyways got another distraction...

Was worried about access so started painting on sprue

[ZeroWolf]

Probably a good idea, I assembled mine first and had great difficulty in reaching some areas.

[Brother Nathan]

I think its helped. Im certainly getting through it quicker than expected. Think my updated scheme really helps

[Brother Nathan]

Very good progress today

[Nexus17]

Looks great; I really like the blue/green. Is that temple guard blue?
