The Pounder Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Here’s the first model for my new Tyranid Swarm! Tyranid Screamer Killer Tyranid Screamer Killer Tyranid Screamer Killer Tyranid Screamer Killer Tyranid Screamer Killer I got an amazing deal on the Nid half of the Leviathan box! When it arrived this beast was already built so I couldn’t resist! The new range is breathtaking. Couldn’t resist any longer. This will be the colour scheme moving forward, you may remember my last Swarm (Hive Fleet Ariagnee) it’s basically an upgrade on that. I’ve chosen natural tones as my inspiration for the army is insects and crabbing with my son! It’ll be a slow burner at first but will ramp up as the new Codex approaches. Hopefully Nids win the Battle of Ogrham so we can see the new shinies!! Thanks for looking!

Brother Captain Vakarian Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Really excited to see your take on the brain bug, Jud. That Carnifex is thoroughly terrifying in that scheme. Very well done! The Pounder and ZeroWolf 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Thanks Xenith! I got the Neurotyrant built into sub assemblies ready for painting. Hopefully I’ll get around to it soon! Xenith and ZeroWolf 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Yea, I assembled mine last night, the push fit will really help with the painting sub asemblies - I've left the whole back and front carapace off mine. Weirdly, without the big carapace it would make a cool zoan/neurothrope... ZeroWolf and The Pounder 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 Did exactly the same thing! Got the inspiration from Arskull’s thread! My only concern is that it won’t go back together once the paint has been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 Seems like ages since my last update! (Been busy on other projects) Here’s my latest effort! I’ve stuck with a muted scheme because that’s my style. Tyranid Neurotyrant Tyranid Neurotyrant Tyranid Neurotyrant The sculpts in the Leviathan box are stunning, can’t say enough good things about them! I got a great deal on the first lot and now my brother has given me a second Tyranid lot from the Leviathan box! Question is which units should I double up on? And which ones should I let go? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Dr_Ruminahui, BrassClaw, Brother Captain Vakarian and 7 others 5 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNicronomicon Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 dope scheme, they look great! Personally I doubled up on termagants (new player, so duh), the neurogaunts (more or less thrown in with the termies), barbgaunts, Leapers, and the Screamer-Killer. The tyrant and the phage I'm not sure I'll ever use more than 1 of ZeroWolf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 Thanks lads! The Nicronomicon, good advice, I’ll get rid of the second Psychophage and Neurotyrant! I’ve made a small 1k list. I have 30 Termagants, 5 Barbgaunts, a Hive Tyrant, 3 Von Ryan’s Leapers and 2 Screamer Killers! Should keep me busy! Better start making a dent in the Termagants!!

The Pounder Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 Couldn’t resist the Von Ryan’s Leapers any longer! What an absolute treat! I enjoyed the building (something I don’t usually enjoy) and the detail was amazing. Tyranid Avon Ryan’s Leapers Tyranid Avon Ryan’s Leapers Tyranid Avon Ryan’s Leapers Tyranid Avon Ryan’s Leapers Damned auto correct changed the names lol! What would you guys like to see next? Hive Tyrant or Termagants? Thanks for looking! ZeroWolf, Brother Captain Vakarian, BrassClaw and 4 others 4 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Great job!. Very formidablr looking. Id suggest termagaunts... reward yourself with painting a tyrant after them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted August 24, 2023 Author Share Posted August 24, 2023 Thanks very much! Makes a lot of sense. I’ll do 10 Termagants then the Hive Tyrant. Anyone have any idea when the codex will be released? I’d like to try and finish my 1k list before it hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted October 1, 2023 Author Share Posted October 1, 2023 I’ve been knee deep in other projects but I’ve painted the model my eldest daughter got me for my birthday!

The Pounder Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 I’ve finished my Hive Tyrant for Hive Fleet Ariagnee! As I’m building towards a Synaptic Nexus list I wanted for her to look more psychic. I saw Xenith’s conversion and shamelessly copied it! I’m rather pleased with the results.

The Pounder Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Been a little quiet on the Tyranid front recently. My boy wants me to do an “Eastern Fringe” inspired collection, that is Ultramarines, Tyranids and T’au! I’m thinking Nid and T’au themed terrain (currently we’re using Imperial ruins and trenches) With that in mind here’s the latest model for the Nids, I’ve gone with the Psychophage: Tyranid Psychophage Tyranid Psychophage Tyranid Psychophage Tyranid Psychophage Tyranid Psychophage Thanks as always for looking! Hopefully I can get a run on this project so plenty more to come! MithrilForge, Nexus17, Brother Nathan and 3 others 3 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
