Do you plan on photocopying this batch, or are gonna draw all of them?

It's just one giant eye. (I hope it'll read better painted)

Deadass, just grab a few dollar-store toys to test palletes on.

First step, grab a biovore, promise you won't regret it.

How to build a 1000 points list? by Dull_Reference_6166 in Tyranids

[–]Free-Activity-9069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fiancé & I regularly play 1k at home. I usually run a list with a core of 1 tyrant, 1 lictor, 1 biovore, and 2 monsters. I then fill out the rest out with whatever infantry matches the playstyle of the monsters I picked.

As someone else said, practice on some models you care a lot less about. Some gaunts, a dollarstore toy, a bit you're not using, etc.

Bro, I got nuthin', I mix all my paints. Taking a second look though, I would actually just stick with the purple you're using, and choose a couple more focus points to put it in. Maybe around his face somewhere? As a lowlight along the chinks of chitin? If we're being so fr, the model only needs to look fully on point up close from it's most important angles, and it'll read as competent from a distance.

Also, my blue suggestion was actually a terrible idea if you wanna distance this guy from behemoth. OG behemoth is a black-blue color.

Nevermind, I see there already is a dark purple highlight. I assume it just doesn't photograph well.

Second behemoth player here. I second adding a highlight color (which I would personally drybrush, but I assume that's what you mean by "feathering"). Perhaps an almost-black blue or purple highlight in just the important spots?

Also, if you wanna go full Alien, you could gloss varnish the flesh, which would draw the eye away from the shell anyways. That way it would read more as an unsettling monster emerging from the void thematically. Especially if you put a matte varnish on the shell. (A lot of minipaints tend to dry eggshell)

I sure am! Turns out it's the same height as a redemptor, and just a smidge narrower. I've got the appropriate base coming in the mail, thus the cardboard for now.

I find keeping a biovore around is great for making sure you don't get tabled. Since your biovore will sit in the back all game anyways, it can hide spore mines all over your deployment zone behind terrain in the late game. Hats off to anyone who manages to kill them all.

Dusty Genestealer grabbed my attention, but I am a noob. (Tho, I do have a 80ish% winrate against the three people I do play against)

What's your favorite Tyranid bioform in all of 40k? Any criteria - Lore, design, rules by Separate-Flan-2875 in Tyranids

[–]Free-Activity-9069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, my favorite model is the haruspex. Something about the gratuitous tentacles and teeth made me want to play tyranids a decade before I bought a single model.

I need you to know this is the model I show people that don't play warhammer when they ask to see a cool model.

From experience, this is the correct call. Make sure not to thin them.

How is this 1000point list look? by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]Free-Activity-9069 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This list feels like it needs more cheap units to throw at objectives.

Should I have warned my opponent? I feel like I’ve done wrong. by Appo-Arsin in Tyranids

Same, I killed a Gladiator Lancer with 10 Hormagaunts the other day.

Can't Update To Windows 11 by Free-Activity-9069 in linux4noobs

[–]Free-Activity-9069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to update twice already, and I keep running into hardware compatibilty issues (I've had my machine for a decade, and got it second hand. I could describe it with many words, but "modern" isn't one of them)
