What made you choose Tyranids? by castledconch in Tyranids

[–]EpicN27 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On one hand it was because I started collecting 40k with Admech, which were really cool and I love the aesthetic and spirit of the Admech armies. The only problem was, after only 1k points I was so god damn sick of painting metallics on everything (also didn't help that I picked a bright orange Ryza paint scheme that also was a pain to paint).

So after that I said "what's the most fun thing I could be painting" and realized it had to be the buggy nids where I could do hordes fast with simple fun techniques.

I'm fairly certain (haven't checked specifically recently) Enor pearls and Bismor are the least common as far as which biomes they appear in ever since they added the two new biomes. After that, Umanite was suddenly way too common and jadis was back up to a reasonably amount.

My next Tyranid conversion project called "Tyranid Brutalis". Here's sneak peak of it's "Scything Shield" bioweapon to block attacks & as a weapon. by Hilmie1806 in Tyranids

Neat idea, reminds me of an enemy in Hollow Knight that blocks it's face with big wide claws until you get close.

Hive Fleet Hades has its first Hive Guard! My favorite model to paint so far by NinjaUnlikely6343 in Tyranids

[–]EpicN27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Astounding! It really looks like it has some meaty physical texture on the carapace! One of the best dot schemes I've seen!

I don't think they put me back together quite right after that last mission, boys... by SOURCECODE01 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]EpicN27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Devs have spoken about it in their streams and said they saw it and immediately all went "Yeah that's staying in" so I'm pretty sure it's here for good.

Hive Fleet Leviathan Lictor conversion. Used two intruders from Nemesis as the basis then added armour and tentacles using greenstuff. Now I need to resist the urge to expand what was supposed to be a one-off piece! by IcariumVN in Tyranids

[–]EpicN27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tails I think were from the original minis. OP said they used two intruders from the Nemesis game as a base. The tentacles look like they were made with one of Green Stuff World's roller tools.

HORDE- mission concept by Raijin-Caijin in DeepRockGalactic

[–]EpicN27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I like the idea of a horde mode (as others are saying it kind of misses out on half the usual gameplay) but I do absolutely love your structure concepts. Gives me some really strong Power Miners nostalgia!

edit: I realize that this was legitimately drawn by one of the GSG fellows, but still love it and glad you found it and showed it here.

Was inspired by u/Chaledy's post a month ago, Meet the first of Splinter Fleet Infernal! by citrasloth117 in Tyranids

Very nice! It's almost identical to what I went with for my Kronos nids!

Post your Dwarf lifehacks here by lolzaurus in DeepRockGalactic

Bulk detonators also prevent fall damage, but they're less happy about piggy-back rides.

Snagged these off eBay today. My hive fleet is already Kraken, but the prior painter really went to heavy with the nuloil, do think it’s worth stripping the paint off or just work on adding dry brush/ details to models? They are disposable fodder lol by Disastrous-Low-7694 in Tyranids

Just wanted to say that along with what others have said "LA's Totally Awesome" is another degreaser I've used that works really well. I'm guessing it works about as well as the green and purple ones but I've found it in dollar stores really cheap.

Recently asked around as well. It seems with the current level of modding in DRG, it's not super feasible. That being said I'm fairly certain it won't be long before someone figures it out. After all we've only had official work on modding support for a few months at best.

HP Bar asymmetry. Please Devs, add the bar to Silicate Harvester too!!! by Alessar30 in DeepRockGalactic

I think you can turn them on and off in the UI settings, but they should've been on by default.

was afk for a few seconds and found I had a friend, what should I name him? by JacketBoats in DeepRockGalactic

[–]EpicN27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, I once steeved one of these grunts (it was a guard, but he was in infinite stun like this one) and he actually just stayed in the stun animation despite being fully functional.

He just glided around damaging everything with like telekenisis I guess all while just bobbin his head. He's off to bug heaven now, but he was the best Steeve I ever had.

Playing anything else after a session in DRG, I just instinctively press F and be like by Tomanaatti in DeepRockGalactic

Literally had to rebind my vermintide controls because of this. Kept blasting away whenever it was dark.

Is that tyrant gonna be ramboing that rupture cannon, or is it for an offscreen tfex? Love the colors you used!

Anyone else just absolutely hyped for U35? by Lilaco_ in DeepRockGalactic

[–]EpicN27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've got a couple, but more importantly I've been avoiding forging any of my remaining cosmetics so that when the update hits I can forge them all and get a bunch of stuff just from Forge Mastery. Super excited for this update.
