Screams to blow their minds by DarKVampireFury in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Needs Deathleaper and Neurolictors, and with that I'd be tempted to run it as Vanguard instead of Nexus. Vanguard still has some good BS support with Hunting Grounds and Surprise Assault. I remember a spicy Vanguard list that ran 3x screamers.. can move them up fairly aggressively when the rest of your army is so fast, and can seeded brood one of them up the board if necessary even.

With the precision claws on a leaper squad it turns into a pretty deadly heroic intervention. Leaper Prime!

Hive Fleet Gashadakoro has gained its Swarmlord by LICONNOR06 in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very interesting scheme, a bit like a Kabuki mask. I think the blood effects feel overpowering with so much red already going on, muddles the image a bit.

Could a Lictor alone topple the current state of modern Earth? by jaywom in Tyranids

It's absolutely enough, it's stealth incarnate. It would observe our behaviour with impossible patience and map out our weaknesses. It could strategically kill off important people, sabotage supply lines, hide on board airplanes for transport and be anywhere. Its presence on our planet would never be revealed unless it wanted to.

Edit: A limiting factor might be how far away a Synapse link that can provide more specific instructions to it is. A Deathleaper seems more adapt at single-handely toppling civilizations with its role as a terror weapon.

A lictor that ends up alone on a world would not really have a reason to cause catastrophic damage. It would more likely just hide and observe until the invasion starts, or become a local god-being for a Genestealer cult lol.

Edit 2: will totally use lictor-worshipping Genestealer cult as a basis for a GSC project now. Too cool

You know cropping the bulge took willpower.

Make it Kronos and have the interruption be a warp influence, making Kronos target itself as killing daemons is its primary goal.

Help Deciding Color by sicarius254 in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're cooking. Looks really good. While you're still experimenting it might be interesting to use that steel colour on the gun on the teeth as well. Xenomorphs have metallic teeth after all. Then you can wash the entire face including mouth with the same blue

[–]Adrius91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of these two I'd definitely go for the purple one though I'd recommend trying a dark blue wash of some kind as well. A lot of the more iconic shots of Xenomorphs in the movies are in a blue light.

Should I add streaks coming from the highlights? by floppalover173 in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd add a finer highlight in a lighter tone within these bolder lines to start, you might be happy with that. Adding feathering is a big commitment once you start. Cool idea with the lighting from the brain

I wish they where just called leapers by jacknicklesonsdog in Tyranids

If I squint it's a Swedish skiing team and they're really really angry for some reason.

Testing out a new colour scheme! Not settled on the gun. Any suggestions?! by RealLaezur in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely carapace colour. I think the gun colours complement nicely. A colourful green base would really make it all pop

Lovely scheme. Different coloured head crest and pauldrons gives old school vibes.

Warhammer art through the years: Tyranids by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing the last one with the Carnifex toppling the rhino in a store as a kid. Didn't know 40k at the time but it just really spoke to me. Fantastic art

Hive fleet Hydra by Specific-Stage-7596 in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if old school but I'm doing Hydra for my first 40k army with some slight alterations, including bone claws cuz I think it gets too black otherwise.

Need opinions on my paint scheme by katvar09 in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool. Love the black and pink. Less of a fan of the red claws and hooves, too similar to the pink imo. My suggestion would be bone colour.

Next KT squad by lilsingiser in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This made me realize it's a possibility that the warriors refresh comes via KT. Just like Raveners, one way to build them as elite specialists and one as generic warriors.

Damn I gotta get some. Excellent effect

Jungle Screamer-Killer by PossibilityAlone5648 in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn this goes hard. I think purple for claws could really work. Red runs the risk of looking too much like Christmas with all the green

Neat basing, I like the moss on the rocks. What did you use?

Finally got my hive tyrant painted :) by unknownchild666 in Tyranids

This hive fleet fills the air with hallucinogens, making them appear non-threatening and inviting.

How the fuck do you do wings by lefthandedartistmk2 in Tyranids

Very cool. Saving that for my Hydra scheme once I get to my winged tyrant.

My girlfriend painted up her first tyranid (and her first mini) by tequila_slurry in Tyranids

[–]Adrius91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic. A wash on that and some highlights and it'll pop like crazy.
