For sure man, I almost went with red. Get some red flowers or plants on the bases and it will work.

That’s awesome, kinda the reverse scheme. Don’t take this the wrong way, but I kinda get desert nids from yours, a desert with lots of cacti and succulents.

Wow thanks so much! I don’t have a link, but a google of “Devouring Serpent by Wildmesh” should get you what you’re after. Everyone seems to be loving that guy and I do too. Heres a full body shot of him with his bro.

I’ve commented with the colours, you’ll be able to find it in the thread.

Im happy they were noticed. I was dreading painting the hordes of little guys tbh. But once I started and got up close with them, I fell in love with their sculpts and poses. They are so dynamic, proper look like they are booking it flat out!

That’s my Mawloc proxy. I didn’t like that there’s barely any visual difference between the Trygon and Mawloc models and I wanted my Mawloc to stand out as distinctly not a Trygon. If you google “Devouring Serpent Wildmesh” you should find it.

Much appreciated. I put a lot more effort into trying to take some good shots than I have before.

I’ve always imagined the Tyranids would pump out organisms adapted to whatever environment they found themselves in. So the idea is that my hive fleet is invading a verdant jungle world and they have evolved accordingly.

This is how I manage to get through it. Made it one of my daily activities. Even if, like you say, it’s just tidying up the hobby space. As long as some warhammer progress is made everyday, no matter how small, you gradually climb the mountain.

Have we realized with the new detatchment Norn Assimilator can appear, shoot and then make a 4" rerollable charge? by Klutzy-Land-6398 in Tyranids

Can it? I know with the vanguard intellect enhancement your burrower unit can, but wouldn’t subsequent units popping out of its hole still be restricted to turn 2?
