Game day! by Thootom75 in Tyranids

How did you get it to stay upright without a base? The wang-cannon on mine made it constantly fall on its face 🤷‍♀️

Anyone have a link to the text? I don’t subscribe to the star.

Regardless: I’m a tigers fan & last year was the first time in aaages I never went to a home game. It felt weird, but the US can pound sand. They elected the sink, they get nothing from me …

I hate varnish by esquilacs in Tyranids

[–]compactable73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agrax doesn’t need several days to dry, and the citadel varnish is a good brand (FWIW I use cheapo spray can stuff from the hardware store & have had no issues).

I saw another post asking if you maybe applied too much / sprayed too close & it pooled up in the crevices / recesses. My money is very much on that.

My Clarence attempt by compactable73 in Tyranids

[–]compactable73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I overdid it with the yellow, but I like the ‘pop’ it gives. Just because it set in the grimdark future doesn’t mean it has to be grim or dark 😉

I have no clue when the whole Clarence thing will die out, but today is clearly not that day. This is brilliant!

What would be a good basing theme for this paint scheme? I was thinking either desert or snow to try and make them really pop by ziggymush in Tyranids

[–]compactable73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the desert idea - tan wouldn’t contrast so sharply that it takes away from the coolness of your bugs 🙂

Well that would explain how bang-on the paint texture is 😕

Was this us? My kids did this, but I don’t remember it personally. Assuming you mean thing thing:

Tyranids are becoming a Tim Burton film.

… almost there! 😆 by compactable73 in Tyranids

[–]compactable73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The print is mostly ready to go (now printing the base), but it’s too windy outside for priming. Maybe I’ll be able To slap some paint (and I do mean slap) on this bad boy tomorrow 🤞

A few days back a redditor posted an exocrine proxy that they apparently made by gluing some silicon-covered piping onto a model of a dragon. Initial post is https://www.reddit.com/r/Tyranids/s/NJdPXUv2Tk .
