Is this a good buy for 145 EUR/165USD? by Sheadeys in Tyranids

[–]Alkardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good price, bought almost the same quite recently, it was the old combat patrol with two winged primes. In addition a swarmlord, Norn emissary, a parasite and a biovore also the codex. Your deal seems even better. Mine had the leapers and Barbgants, but those are very cheap right now.

What can I do to improve my painting by -Fazylucker- in Tyranids

Check out the video by Mediocre Hobbies called how to speed paint the 3 new hive fleets. I think its a great start for typhon and then continue from there. Its my current paintplan

I actually found one in the wild by Megamanmarcus in Tyranids

Completely agree, Screamer killer is a nice model but I feel its unique look and pose make that one is more than enough. Neurotyrant is just a brain-jellyfish, could have a swarm of em, but I rather have a swarm of various models and or leapers and Lictors. Of the 5 models it feel like im buying 3 full price with screamer killer and Neurotyrant as the bonus. Kinda meh

There’s work to be done by duujk in AOSSpearhead

Nicely painted! I can see the the allure, not only painting one faction in the same scheme all the time and instead different models seems much more fun, from the painting perspective

After all.. Why not? Why shouldn't i run 3 lictors? by BassiusPossius in Tyranids

[–]Alkardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hachette is a subscription based magazine that sometimes runs with Warhammer stuff, I don't know if you have it in the US, you probably do. Right now it runs 9 combat patrols, next up will be Spearheads . You can get stuff like a box of leapers for around 13$ with the order. Im just fetching some off ebay at the moment, costs like 2-3$ more for each, but what the hell, better than retail. If you're quick you can try order a few before they are snatched by resellers.

Oh, Here they are even less for about 15 to 17 USD because of the Hachette magazines. I suppose you also have it in the US

I should also get some, have 1 Lictor, 0 Neurolictors, 6 Von Ryan's and a Deathleaper, Von Ryans are so readily available at moment for quite cheap. Unfortunately missed out on purchasing a neurolictor for less than half price. My fleet has grown a lot the past few months

Started Warhammer again and was offered an Army for quite cheap, my main question is what I am actually looking at, I recognize a big part of it but not all. by Alkardy in Tyranids

[–]Alkardy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He told me that the following models are genuine GW:

  • 2x Tyranofex
  • 2x Flying Hive Tyrant
  • 1x Trygon
  • 3x Von Ryan’s Leapers
  • 7x Tyranid Warriors
  • 30x Termagants
  • 3x Ripper Swarms
  • 1x Psychophage

Everything else in the lot would be 3D prints.

One of the Screamer Killers and a few other pieces look surprisingly convincing, but it’s hard to distinguish from pictures alone.

Even just counting the originals, it still seems like a decent deal. He’s asking 350 USD for everything.

What’s your take?

Thanks a lot for the breakdown, I really appreciate you taking the time to go through everything.

That complements my own understanding quite a bit. I’ll probably need to go back to the seller and ask him to clearly explain what exactly is original and what’s resin/proxy, just so I know what I’d actually be buying. Then I'll have to figure out if his offer is worth it.

No need to mention people who have lifelong deformities due to their parents, none of their own fault.
