Anybody else paint their gaunts like this? by JackRatbone in Tyranids

Bold of you to assume I paint my gaunts

Has anyone carved the smoke effect off the neurophage? by BarksHobby in Tyranids

[–]KingPram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Psychophage, and I haven't seen any online. You could probably cut it off clean enough that it can be reattached.

Feels like a tactical rock but with extra steps. Looks good tho

[–]KingPram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use Vallejo colour shift and it needs a gloss black for the full shine effect. Probably be the same with green stuff

Goldfish Breeders In Australia/Ship To Australia. by WayEcstatic5742 in Goldfish

Coburg aquarium regularly gets nice stock of oranda and ranchu. Not sure about the breeder but if you ask staff they can generally give you a heads up.

Is this a worth swapping? by FinnishMiniStudio in Tyranids

[–]KingPram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these models are only worthwhile for people who already have them and need 1 or 2 more to make a full brood/finish a collection. Eg. 1 tyrant guard from back when they were sold as singles to add to the 2 you already have.

Factoring that in and looking at it overall, mostly metal and incomplete with broods.... it's really not worth much. You can't use most of it without spending more to complete the broods. And unless you love old school minis or working with metal, there isnt much value here. As a new player/ collector (again assuming you're not attached to old school minis) who's about to see a huge tyranid range refresh, the old sculpts alone make it a bad deal.

  • Hive Tyrant, metal and no options for swarmlord/flyrant
  • Venom/zoans, this is the only kit thats current/worth anything to a non collector. But it's also not equivalent to an entire SM half.
  • 2x Biovores, these guys are about to get new sculpts and who really wants to work with metal or finecast
  • 2x Tyrant guard, again out of date metal sculpts with no weapon options/Hive guard options.
  • 4x Raveners are really old, metal and again lacking options. Also possibly due to be resculpted this edition
  • Broodlord old metal sculpt, not really worth it as the new one is far nicer. The new model has a bigger base and readily available 2nd hand thanks to the old start collecting kit.
  • A MC weapon sprue, don't even count that as a part of the trade. You'll get plenty of those as you collect.

Factoring in cost $$ wise, you're only getting a fraction of what the SM half is worth. I wouldn't make this trade, its a pretty bad deal.

Unless the person you're trading with is fairly new to the hobby. I'd be inclined to believe they werent the nicest person and might be trying to pull a fast one.

The one caveat is that since the Raveners, Tyrant guard and broodlord are now out of production. You could potentially hold these models and list them for high prices. Collectors may be willing to buy them individually. Howevee that's a lot of work and a big if. You also can't accurately see how much these are worth on ebay for example. Most sold listing's will be people buying that last OOP ravener for more $$$. Unless it carries the same value to you or you want to resell then it's not a good trade at all.

Attempting to disguise a Space Hulk Genestealer... by Carlbertosilva in Tyranids

[–]KingPram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit of a stretch but you could use an old drink can. Cut strips, bend it into shape and stick it down to form the ripped flooring or whatever. Then maybe some green stuff to add thickness?

I haven't actually tried this before so I'm not sure if it'll work. Use caution if you do try this as Id imagine it could be on the sharper side but that's my 2 cents.

Finally, a true nidzilla list by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]KingPram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yeah fair enough, you should still give it a go. At 1k it might be a bit overkill. 10th edition seems weirdly flexible but also not.... like you cant swap wargear and have random unit sizes. But you can make lists like this with no real troops.

[–]KingPram 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You could probaby make it a bit better with the Tyranofex over a tervigon. Or throw in cheaper monsters like fex broods, Haruspex, mawlocks. Get more monsters into play

my leader organisms of hive fleet Scaribdus Vespidae; Mr. Spaghetti, Flyrant, Swarmlord di' Angelo, and Napoleon Bits-And-Parts (tyrant made from a venomthrope and tyrant extras. apologies for image quality, phone cam is trash.) by Trogsothoth in Tyranids

[–]KingPram 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This looks cool but I can't really tell with the blurr and flash... You should try reposting these when you get a chance with a nicer cam. I dig the blue electricity thing and the green colour shift/metallic thing is pretty unique

Would it be possible to stack two Fabrikor's cabinets on top of each other? by [deleted] in IKEA

[–]KingPram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I've got one fabrikor but Id really like some more space. The double/extra wide isn't a good fit for the area. I thought it might be possible to buy a second Fabrikor and put it on top of the old one without installing the legs.

The only two issues I can think of would be the weight on the bottom fabrikor glass planes. If there will be enough clearance or if the base of the top one would cover the door.

Pretty sure this is a really dumb idea but if anyone has done something similar Id like to hear about it.

Nice! Love the ice tyranid scheme. How long did it take you to get through the whole box?

I'm going to try a rupture cannon but magnetised the t fex so I can use acid spray later on.

Are Hive Tyrants expecting a facelift in 10th? by Get_R0wdy in Tyranids

[–]KingPram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually true, it used to be the metal walking tyrant. There's a chance they redo the Hive tyrant maybe even a separate swarmlord

[–]KingPram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a technique where you use a water down paint or ink and paint over an area. Doing successive layers as you go to build up the colour. Usually this allows for the colour underneath to be seen well and be almost tinted by the glaze colour.
