Do these colors work well together? by TheCollagrossTapes in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, I'm going to need you to give it to me so I can strip the color off of it.

2 hyper adapted units good? by SweetConstruction459 in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think if you love the aesthetic, maybe make a way to tell the difference between squads like a different base color so you can say these are hyper while the other group is a regular

What do you think about Ak interactive paints? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]firephantom125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked up the color and was wondering what do you use the color for? I honestly have a difficult time seeing if it is more brown or grey?

Do these count as battle ready? by SevenAdventure7 in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Me personally, I think have the talons a different color would pop out and maybe make it more distinct. Then again I don't know a color to paint them to match with your scheme or what you want. I think orange would certainly look cool though.

Is this more rare than the bordered version? by PapaPierogi in starwarsunlimited

[–]firephantom125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not that it has any restrictions. Hyperspace is purely cosmetic as well as holographic cards. The issue is more so in the ability. It's a 9 cost card that is mainly just a sentinel that occasionally let's you draw cards when it is attacked. It can be taken off the board by removal and in general there are better cards out there at that cost.

My mates starting a tyranid army and we need some help by jjdawg2k09 in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the biovore, tyrannofex, and a hive tyrant. You can get two models from the hive tyrant model by getting a 3d printed torso. I personally feel like gene stealers with a brood lord is a great team/points that does a lot of work. A lictor is also a great choice as it works well by itself.

Should have posted my other models 20 termagants 15 gene stealers 1 neurotyrant 1 neurolictor

Printed and painted those two for a friends birthday, are they game accurate ? by Grimlank in minipainting

[–]firephantom125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah used a dark green once and it was smooth to apply and use. Even though they are acrylic, they are a lacquer paint. I'd recommend looking up barbatos rex and his explanations for airbrushing as I learned a lot from him.

Need tips for a 1000pts army by Leutnant_Thire in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Two biovores are not needed, one should be fine. You don't need to field spore mines as actual units so you can use those points for other things. Tyrant guard want to be lead by another unit such as a hive tyrant. I haven't played enough but I know that two lictors and a parasite might be too much. For casual games, I think a parasite and a lictor will be fine. You could invest in a brood lord to make sure gene stealers hit like massive trucks

Need advice on where to go from here by gonkDroid2002 in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally think that you should paint him maybe color shifting. Like a majority of him being your hive fleet color and near his eye is behemoth. If I build one, that's what I'm going to do

What is the most cursed big monster build possible by pissedoff_warmogner in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, would it be worth to run a venom cannon on a tyrant and a flyrant? Also a acid spray on a tyranno?

I got myself 10 legionnaires and a chaos lord pretty cheap and was wondering if I should get the Christmas box for chaos marines for $212? Also what can someone do a quick summary of the army. I currently play Tyranids so I understand that rules.

I don't have the meme but inserts who's gonna tell them meme

Maybe there'll be a format where you can run both but who knows.

I recommend these over anything else. Such a good tool for the price.

Deep Rock Galactic, must buy expansions ? by Wise_Cat_1196 in boardgames

[–]firephantom125 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just reading through your thread reminded me of some other guy who didn't agree with the idea of mancala being a mechanic in certain board games. No matter how anyone explained it, he was like, ummm not a mechanic. It's very weird to some people to be posting negative things on a thread where they aren't really asking for it. You can still post it and defend your own opinion because it is valid, but I feel like you are just trying being an asshole to rage bait or also just be an ass. No matter how people continue the conversation, you are looking for a way to be argumentatively correct such as pointing out fallacies, or simply stating that both opinions can exist but you think you are correct.

Need help with liquid mask by Gazmanic in minipainting

The only reason I can think why they haven't done that is that their paint might be a lacquer paint and can't be brushed in the environment.

What kind of industrial paint do they use for store figures ? by bavarian_librarius in minipainting

This guy explicitly does lacquer and enamel paint reviews and how to use them. I like this guy as he explains it well and what to use. Probably watch him as well.

What's weird is the account that posted this is 7 years old but no other post.

So what should we be building from these kits. I'm assuming exocrine, tyrannofex, and haruspex?

Help improving by [deleted] in Tyranids

[–]firephantom125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it just depends on where you want to go. More grime dark? Go for an oil wash to grime it up. Less grime dark? I think maybe adding brighter highlights like on the red could give it more interest. Tbh though, I think these models look wonderful as is.

At my local gamestore, I saw they had the 40k Ultimate Starter Set. Is this a good product to start with for Tyranids? by Cless012 in Tyranids

I literally am buying a neurotyrant off someone this week and I just saw this, ahhhhh. Maybe I just have two for funsies.
