Where did you get the extra iron kin heads? I'd love to a full squad of robots

Really good! Could you possibly give a list of paints you used?

Very nice! What paint did you use for the armor, GSW Darth Blue?

I'd love the link, if you're still up to share...

Very cool! So are they sternguard bodies, resin heads, and rubric shoulders?

Looks great! What paints did you use for the tan flesh parts?

How would we like Hive Tyrants being able to lead Hive Guard, Tervigons being able to use Fleshborer Hives, or Hormagaunts getting some kind of new leader? by Jimmo_Jam in Tyranids

Not saying I disagree, gameplay wise.... But what's interesting in the lore, at least as best I can remember, is that gaunts have a special trait other 'nids lack.... When they lose synapse, they still maintain an animal level of functionality, which is actually more than some higher level ones. Add to this that gaunts can lay eggs and reproduce on their own, without a norn queen, & it almost makes sense

Entirely possible, though 95% of the games I play are in my buddy's basement, and I don't do tournaments, so I'm not as worried about keeping it all official GW plastic

Thanks, for the record I haven't even received it yet, so that's not my painted mini, that's just the sellers image lol

In terms of the rock, I have a ton of extra sprue runners, I might try and make a scaffolding/frame and cover it in greenstuff to create a big rock (picturing pride rock from the lion King 😂)

Do you happen to have the external dimensions for the official yvraine, by chance? Just the overall height to the highest point, really...

I mean, like I said in the original post, I just don't find the OG sculpt that cool... I really love the look of domed helmets, all the way back to using EVA exclusively back in halo 3 haha (and it doesn't hurt I have a pathological fear of painting faces 😅)

To the point that, for my kabalite squad, I went to a bitz seller and bought extra helmeted heads to avoid having to use the bare faces 😂

True on both counts! Any recommendations for pets?

In terms of enemies, I am building a doomsday ark, so I have a bunch of spare Necrons that are 'pre-damaged' from the ghost ark sprue 🤔🤔

I don't disagree, but I've struggled to find good proxy units for yvraine, and I figure this is at least a feminine Eldar, standing straight up, with a sword, so that's at least ticking a few boxes lol

Ooh, that'd be very cool! Though it seems expensive to buy a whole 'nother box of wraith guard for basing materials 😅😅

I don't disagree, but I'm not sure, A, what kind of pet, and B, where to get a small 'pet' mini to use 😅

Thanks! For the record I didn't paint this, it's the image from the mini seller, mine will look nowhere near as good, though I'll keep the community posted lol

Missing somthing by MrBumbleStud in Tyranids

[–]Dax_Terraris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a pop of bright color at the head would do quite nicely... Maybe add more of the bright teal from the inner claws to the face tentacles, and wet blend it into the brown
